Case Study – Cadbury Digestives
Amanda Kelln

1. The ‘Thank You’ campaign worked so well because Cadbury did plenty of research on their target audience and then implemented an advert to deliver a particular message to this specific target audience. To be more specific, Cadbury determined from their research that their target audience was primarily women chocoholics who were looking to experience chocolate guilt free. Once the company determined this, they then implemented an advert displaying the joy women felt because of the new Cadbury Chocolate Digestives that could be enjoyed free of guilt. Also, the campaign reflects the communication effects of brand awareness and brand attitude by providing good brand identity and by stimulating a positive feeling for the guilt free chocolate. Therefore, because of a combination of these techniques, the ‘Thank You’ campaign worked successfully.

2. I think that the advertising campaign turned out to be an effective tool in marketing to retailers because through the use of television programmes, which reach a large number of people, and after seeing the success and positive reactions of the campaign, retailers wanted to carry this brand and product to attract consumers to their stores. By attracting consumers to their stores to purchase the Cadbury Chocolate Digestives, this is positive in itself, but there is now also the added benefit of having the consumers physically in the store where retailers can then try to encourage them to purchase more. Therefore, I think the success is because of this reason.

3. Cadbury made use of the ‘chocoholic’ segment to design its advertising campaign by stimulating a positive feeling for the brand. Through research, Cadbury discovered that chocoholics want to enjoy chocolate free of guilt, and based on this information they created an advert that displayed happy women enjoying their digestive chocolate to deliver their message and create a positive brand attitude.

    Where Cadbury has used the marketing strategy of branding they have been massively successful, their logo is iconic, it is recognised worldwide, it is most recognised in the U.K this is more than likely due to the fact that Cadbury originates from the U.K, so it advertised more. The logo has been around for many decades now it has weaved its way into people's perception of what chocolate is, when people think of chocolate the first thing is a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk, that is how much it has been plastered around for years. The use of this logo has enabled Cadbury to sell billions of their products over many years as it is the simplest way for people to recognise the company which then creates a craving for chocolate, they will then purchase a Cadbury's chocolate bar, so it is easy to say that Cadbury have market very well using the strategy of Branding. Another aspect of branding in which Cadbury has made strong uses of is the colour and text, they have packaged all their products in a darkish purple, this shade of purple is perceived to be luxurious, smooth and comforting, and when these colours are seen you instantaneously think of Cadbury which makes you think that their chocolate bars are luxurious, smooth and comforting, all the things a customer wants from a chocolate bar. The text itself, saying "Cadbury", is written in an elegant font and also is thick, so it looks like Cadbury is written in chocolate although is still stylish and grand. All of these make Cadbury's use of Branding appear good although they have a slogan, "a glass and half", this refers to the amount of milk that went into their chocolate per…

    3. RCC developed the “Happy Cows” campaign, ensuring that customers knew the cheese they were eating came from cows that were well cared for, giving them personal/moral satisfaction. They were also humorous. A big constraint the advertising agency had to work around was the ability to satisfy multiple media channels while upholding their personality. TV ads established the brands personality, eventually giving way to the ability to effectively reach customers via channels such as the radio and the internet. The personality that the agency created is a comfortable, yet humorous personality. The pros and cons of this advertising approach are that you emotionally appeal to the customers, but in doing that you want to make sure they you communicate an effective message about your product, which is hard to do with this type of advertising campaign. I believe this campaign could be continued indefinitely because they have created company mascots with their advertising cows that they could continue to use in future ad campaigns.…

Since the refrigerated-cookie product line consisted of 62% of RBG’s unit sales and over 75% of the company’s profits, Guillen found it appropriate to alter this segment in the market. Proposing this idea to GMCC would require Guillen to consider all the challenges he faces.

    Some stakeholders that are affected by this scheme would be the customers, the competition, the workers, the government, and the shareholders. The customers would be affected by this scheme because they increase the problems of obesity in young people, by eating the Cadburys chocolate in order to receive sports equipment. Cadbury would become more popular and common and after people have tried their chocolate through this scheme, it would encourage them to go buy more, which increases the profit for Cadbury. This would also lead to a stiffer competition between other chocolate and food producing companies. This scheme would be known as a fast effective way of advertising Cadburys chocolate. The workers would also be affected because they would be demotivated and therefore are unlikely to produce good quality products or deliver good customers services. Also, through the scheme, Cadbury would spend £9 million, and therefore, during the process of trying to sell more chocolate and earn more money, their workers would earn a lower…

    Chocolate is one of America’s favorite treats, and companies like Hershey’s, Ghirardelli and Dove, have captured consumers minds, body and emotions with delicious tasting chocolates for more than 100 years. After examining three brands in Dove’s competitive set- Hershey’s, Ghirardelli and Unilever Dove- it became obvious that the Dove Chocolate brand has an unfavorable brand association with Unilever Dove soap and does not resonate as well in consumers’ minds next to competitors within the chocolate industry. For Dove to compete with Hershey and Ghirardelli, as well as Unilever, the brand must increase awareness by differentiating itself from the variety of chocolate brands, further emphasizing brand personality through “indulgences,” and defining Dove’s brand identity among confused consumers. By devoting branding recourses in these key areas, Dove Chocolate will build recognition, market share, and brand equity, and re-establish itself in the chocolate industry lessening its association with Unilever.…
