fat tire practice campaigns

Campaign 1

Happy BrewingFacts:• The company’s mission: "to operate a profitable company which is

socially, ethically and environmentally responsible, that produces high quality beer true to Belgian brewing styles.“ (http://www.terrain.org/articles/9/wann.htm)

• New Belgium Brewing was considered one of “the best companies to work for” by outside magazine.

• The company practices open-book management. “Everyone gets full fiscal transparency, which allows people to take an active role in decision-making.” (http://outsideonline.com/culture/201005/best-places-to-work-2.html)

• Employees are given a cruiser bicycle at one year's employment and encouraged to commute to work. The bicycle works as a symbol for their flagship beer, “Fat Tire” and also adheres to their principles as an environmentally conscious workplace.

• Our employees care—about the product, about costs, and about each other. It's not unusual for an employee to stay late to help a co-worker get a certain job done.“(http://www.terrain.org/articles/9/wann.htm)

• At year one of employment with NBB, employees become partial owners of the company. At seven years, employees become “fully vested as an owner.”

Goal

Show how NBB’S good company values and happy employees improve the quality of Fat Tire beer.

Always in good company.

If this headline works this ad would go on to talk about the core values of NBB

and their ridiculous ly happy employees .

About how they get bikes .

How they recycle.

How they are all going to heaven.

And how the consumer reaps all the benefits .

Just when we thought it was only a myth, simply a fore-father dream, we happen in on Fort Collins, Colorado, where democracy is not only truly practiced, it's thoroughly enjoyed.

Some say the good cheer and the great beer is a utopian effect from their company expensed bicycle bells.  Well maybe the bell isn't free. But the bike is. It's just one of the perks employees at New Belgium Brewing receive for being some of the hardest workers and the best beer brewers around.

Democracy s till alive in Fort Collins , Colorado.

Fat Tire is made by the bos s . A ll 165 of them.

America taught democracy

by beer brewers .

Fat Tire Amber A le made by Bikers , Brewers and Entrepreneurers .

Campaign 3

The BrandAudience and Pos itioning

• Target: men and women 25-45 living in urban dwellings

• Youthful but professional• Well educated• Community oriented• Environmentally aware• Active

Continued…• The same demographic is heading in the direction of an unlikely competitor. Who? Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR)- “hipster beer”, “offbeat beer” ,“cheap beer”.

• PBR has dive appeal, niche appeal• PBR liked because of it’s lack of advertising

• Not a “shouted” beer. Discovered or referred by a friend.

• PBR relies on user generated advertising.

Example- annual art contests- Pabst inspired art.

GOAL

• Appeal to the younger audience. Those primarily going for cheap beer.

• Keep youthful but professional appeal of Fat Tire brand.

• Appeal to child like qualities. Exploration, curiosity, wander, adventure.

• Get back to simple. PBR appeals to age that is reacting to the state of the economy/politics etc.

• Appealing to the past. NOSTALGIA
