To establish a brand identity among young consumers.

& To convince more female and male

consumers to drink Goose Island beer over leading competitors.

Marketing Challenge

•  Increase national brand awareness among craft beer drinkers by 60% within the 2013-2014 calendar year.

•  Increase unit sales amongst craft beer drinkers by 25% within the 2013-2014 calendar year.

Marketing Objectives

The Goose Island brand is expanding and still trying to make a name for itself in other markets outside of Chicago.

The multi-media campaign will focus on areas that Goose Island is currently serving, especially those areas with heavy beer drinkers.

Why National

The multi-media campaign called "Whatever Your Personality” will launch News Years Day 2013.

The tagline: “Whatever Your Personality”  

Marketing Campaign

Each Goose Island beer will be branded with a distinct personality that

will appeal to the primary target audience.

The interactive campaign will focus heavily around a social networking

initiative - Facebook, Twitter, etc. - and a website that will include webisodes, games, videos, photos, quizzes, etc.

The campaign will be reinforced through digital, mobile, print, television,

and out-of-home advertising.  

Marketing Campaign

•  Goose Island's Harvest Ale is a great beer for sports enthusiasts.

•  Sports enthusiasts are consumers who attend every game for their favorite team and constantly check their fantasy team’s ranking.

Sports Enthusiasts

•  Goose Island's Juliet is a great beer for socialites.

•  Socialites are consumers who eat out at restaurants frequently and who attend high-end bars and clubs with friends on weekends.

Socialite

•  Goose Island's 312 is a great beer for music lovers. •  Music lovers are consumers who spend their summers at musical festivals such as Lollapalooza and Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago and Coachella in Indio, California.

Music Lovers

Focus primarily on interactive media by developing and maintaining a website and microsites. Achieve 25,000

members within 6 months of launch.

& Supplement the interactive plan with some print, television,

and OOH for a more detailed message. With these mediums, reach at least 80% of craft beer drinkers in major

U.S. cities at least 10 times within the 2013-2014 calendar year.

Ways to Reach Target

•  Timing/Seasonality •  Utilize each quarter within the 2013. •  Television and Print will be placed in the last month of Q4 in

2012 and first two months in Q1 in 2013 to launch campaign & build awareness

•  OOH will be tested for 2 months in Chicago. If successful, OOH will premier nationwide on February 15, 2013.

•  All other media will be featured year-round •  Geography

•  National reduces media costs over buying major cities individually

•  Focus on Major Metropolitan areas •  Budget

•  $10,000,000

Planning Parameters

Media Mix

•  NO newspaper or radio because the primary demographic indexed the highest in the 4th & 5th Quintiles in each medium, which means craft beer drinkers are low users of radio and newspaper.

•  Additionally, the primary marketing objective is to build awareness. This is best accomplished through magazine, television, and out-of-home.

Media Not Recommended

Due to budget constraints and the fact that TV is not our target audience's top three marketing mediums, we will only buy cable on a national level for the last month of Q4 in 2012 and the first month of Q1 in 2013 to attract current and new customers.

Print plan

•  Craft beer drinkers live in/near metropolitan areas where outdoor advertisements are the highest. They also use public transportation such as the commuter rail lines and taxis. However, they rarely use the bus.

•  We will test OOH advertising for 2 months in Chicago to gauge the response before applying nationwide. If OOH is successful, the OOH campaign will launch nationwide on February 15, 2013 and will be applied for the rest Q1 in the 2013-2014 calendar year.

Out-Of-Home Plan

The target audience spends 20 hours or more on the internet weekly. Thus, we will have a heavy internet presence to drive consumers to Goose Island “Whatever Your Personality” campaign website, microsites, and additional interactive media.

Source: https://www.spectrainfinet.com // http://www.mriplus.com

Media Tactic: Interactive

The website’s homepage will open to a quiz for visitors to fill out. The quiz will gauge your personality based on your answers to key indicator questions. The website will then direct you to one of 10 different microsites based on your personality.

Actives users can also sign in using Facebook Connect where our system will direct you to the appropriate site based on your Facebook likes and dislikes.

Microsite Features

Microste URL Would Be: https://www.gooseisland.com/whateveryourpersonality

For example, if you are a “Sports Enthusiast” you will be

directed to a Goose Island website that is styled to an

ultimate sports fan’s domain. There will be sports highlights, live scores of any major league sports games playing at that

current time, and Twitter feeds from top sport Twitter

accounts (sport personalities, leagues, teams. etc.).

Additionally, the microsites will recommend beers that you would enjoy based on your

taste and personality.

Microsite Example

•  Build, develop, and maintain relationships with target audience. •  Increase brand loyalty.

•  Create word-of-mouth by encouraging members to share information on social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr.

•  Provide users with a unique, one-of-a-kind interactive experience.

•  Attain and retain 25,000 active members within 6 months after the launch date.
