goose island media plan
DESCRIPTION
As part of a class project, I was asked to create a media plan for a product of my choice. I chose to create Goose Island because the company barely advertises. This was an opportunity for me to get creative and come up with an entirely new advertising and media campaign.TRANSCRIPT

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.

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.

Out-Of-Home Plan

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.
