The Workshop Task;
During the session as a group we got given a brief and had to analyse it. Our brief was Douwe Egberts Coffee, we decided that we would go through the brief and highlight all the important information through it. Answering the questions makes the brief easier to analyse.
Whats the problem? (What are they asking you to solve)
They are trying to get younger people to buy their coffee to drink at home.
What is the brief asking you to do?
Create a campaign/new product/new packaging by keeping their logo but appealing to a younger audience.
What is the brief trying to achieve?
Broaden the audience to younger people to achieve more sales.
Who will benefit?
Douwe Egberts
What is the message your trying to deliver?
Tell young people that drinking instant coffee at home is a good thing, and that their coffee is the best coffee, 'noone knows coffee like we do'.
Who is the audience?
25+, young professionals.
How will the message be delivered?
They are vague and don't know what they want, they asked for a 'creative campaign, new product, new packaging or communications ideas' therefore they don't really know what they want.
Can you see a problem with this?
They are very vague with the audience they are aiming at, also the methods of delivery. They may be trying to fix the wrong problem, the coffee might not be very nice. They aren't specific at all.
Choose my own brief that I want to pursue and do for this module, analyse it, go through the brief and look at initial ideas, make sure that it's a competition brief. Answer these questions.
