Brand Objectives
Brand Name: Pureza
3
Overview of Objectives
Pureza aims to break into the home care segment of the FMCG market in Pakistan. By
introducing a product that simplifies household cleaning for multiple surfaces while being eco-
friendly, skin-safe and cost-effective, the product aims to fill a notable gap in the market. To get
the product to market, Pureza plans to establish a robust distribution network in KLI system
(Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad), later expanding to smaller markets. Over the long term, the
product will support Pureza’s goal of establishing itself as a leading, eco-friendly cleaning brand
in Pakistan. Building brand equity in this manner will create a strong foundation for future
product line expansion within the home care category, including disinfectants, sprays, and refill
packs. Furthermore, Pureza aims for significant operational growth, expanding its reach on a
regional scale and ultimately penetrating international markets such as South Asia and Middle
East countries aiming to become a global brand recognized for its low-cost, safe, and effective
household hygiene products.
Pureza’s primary short-term marketing objective is to create brand awareness and encourage trial
among the target audience, i.e. middle-income and urban households which prioritize
convenience, affordability, and environmental consciousness. Within the initial months, the
brand aims to drive product trials through in-store activations, sampling and digital promotions.
Distribution will include modern and general trade outlets in KLI. By creating a strong brand
identity through the multi-purpose functionality proposition, the product aims to achieve a 3-5%
market share in the surface cleaner segment within the first 5-7 years. Over the long term, Pureza
hopes to be positioned as a trusted household staple brand. This will be achieved over
approximately 10-12 years as the brand builds strong associations with multi-purpose
effectiveness and environmental responsibility and aims for higher perception scores on efficacy
and environmental consciousness relative to competitors. Pureza also hopes to achieve top-of-
mind brand awareness within the target audience.

Corporate Objectives
The launch of the Pureza aligns with the company’s broader objective of expanding its presence
in the home care segment of the FMCG market in Pakistan. By introducing a product that
simplifies household cleaning across multiple surfaces while maintaining eco-friendliness and
being safe on skin, the product aims to fill a notable gap in the current market, where such
attributes are rarely found together in mass-market offerings. This product serves the corporate
goal of sustainable growth through innovation and product differentiation, while also
contributing to the company’s commitment to environmentally responsible practices. It also
supports internal business goals such as increasing market share in the home hygiene category
and building brand equity in high-volume urban and semi-urban retail markets.
To achieve this short-term objective, the brand needs to spread awareness among people to divert
their purchases from harmful chemicals and acids to Pureza which is safe and eco-friendly and
within their budget. Moreover, there should be product visibility on different stores in KLI to
gage customers’ attention. A push strategy can also be used whereby trade marketer are
encouraged to recommend Pureza to customers.
To achieve this long-term vision, the company plans to expand its product portfolio beyond the
all-in-one surface cleaner to include disinfectants, sprays, and refill packs, catering to the rising
demand for sustainable and cost-effective household care solutions. Additionally, Pureza intends
to grow its operations regionally and penetrate international markets, particularly within South
Asia and Middle East in pursuit of becoming a globally recognized brand for low-cost, safe, and
effective household hygiene.
Marketing Objectives
In the short term, the primary marketing objective is to generate awareness and encourage
product trials among first-time users, especially within middle-income urban households that
prioritize convenience and affordability. The campaign will aim to achieve early market
5
penetration through sampling, in-store activations, and digital promotions. The goal is to secure
retail placement in major modern and general trade outlets across key cities like Karachi, Lahore,
and Islamabad.
In the long term, the objective is to establish the product as a trusted household staple through
consistent brand messaging around versatility, eco-safety, and skin-friendliness. Sustained
customer engagement will be pursued via targeted social media campaigns, testimonials, and
influencer marketing. Over time, the aim is to build strong brand recognition and customer
loyalty, positioning the cleaner as the default choice for consumers seeking an effective,
affordable, and safe all-purpose cleaning solution.
Strategy
This is the slogan-level message that will be used across all consumer touchpoints. It emphasizes
the core values which are safe and smart choice that resonate with the target consumer, especially
homemakers and mothers. It directly appeals to people looking for a cleaning solution that is
effective and doesn’t compromise family health.
7
Core Idea
“Make eco-conscious, safe cleaning the new normal for Pakistani households
without sacrificing affordability or performance.”
This is the underlying insight guiding all branding, communication, and product decisions. It
balances health, environmental responsibility, and cost-consciousness which is a trio of values
particularly relevant to Pakistan in 2025 and ahead where inflation, safety, and sustainability are
key consumer concerns. It positions Pureza not just as a product but as a lifestyle shift from
harsh chemical cleaners to smarter and safer alternatives at low expense.
Creative Strategy
Pureza’s creative strategy aims to establish a brand identity that is emotionally engaging,
trustworthy, and relevant to the everyday experiences of urban Pakistani households. In
particular, it focuses on connecting with women who often play the primary role in choosing
home care products. The strategy directly supports Pureza’s broader IMC goals are generating
awareness, encouraging trial, and fostering long-term loyalty while reflecting the brand’s core
values of safety, affordability, and environmental consciousness.
Language: Bilingual (Urdu and English), ensuring accessibility and cultural fit
8
The tone and personality are carefully chosen to reflect what matters most to the target audience
as the product that care for the family without adding complexity or stress. It also offers a
meaningful alternative to both the cold, harsh branding of chemical cleaners and the premium
detachment of imported labels.
Photography and illustrations will feature light-filled homes, plants, clean surfaces, and moments
of family connection. Key focus areas will include kitchen countertops, tiled floors, and other
commonly clean surfaces. Typography will be rounded and approachable, reinforcing a sense of
softness and safety.
The visuals must differentiate Pureza from dark-colored, chemical-heavy brands. The light and
natural aesthetic not only supports eco-friendliness but also appeals to digitally active, style-
aware consumers browsing platforms like Instagram or Daraz.
The people featured in Pureza’s creative content will reflect the diversity of real Pakistani homes.
Instead of highly stylized or unrealistic portrayals such as actors or celebrities, the brand will
showcase individuals who look familiar and relatable. These may include young mothers,
working women, and even household helpers where appropriate.
Homemakers: Representing the core decision-makers mostly women who are housewives.

An authentic casting helps users see themselves in the brand story. It builds trust and relatability
while reinforcing the idea that Pureza is a product designed for real families, not idealized
lifestyles.
This layered messaging allows us to speak to different motivations such as emotional (safety),
rational (versatility and value), and ethical (environmental and local production). It aligns
perfectly with the brand’s positioning and IMC objectives of driving awareness, trial, and loyalty.
10
These formats are budget-conscious and adaptable to digital, print, and retail touchpoints,
allowing for a cohesive and omnichannel experience. They align with IMC tactics like digital
ads, in-store activation, influencer marketing, and community promotions.

brand easier to trust and remember, while also reinforcing Pureza’s positioning as a thoughtful
and responsible choice.

Caps: White.

Instructions: Simple Urdu/English instructions on how to dilute and use.
In retail settings, most buyers decide within seconds. Packaging that communicates key benefits
at a glance and makes the product feel easy to use increases the chances of first-time purchase. It
also builds trust with new users who may be hesitant to switch from familiar brands.
Media Strategy
Pureza’s media strategy aims to drive awareness, encourage product trials, and build trust among
urban and semi-urban households in Pakistan, with a focus on women who make cleaning-
related decisions.
14
The plan balances cost-effectiveness and impact by leveraging digital platforms, retail visibility,
and community-based outreach. Initial efforts will concentrate on major urban centers—Karachi,
Lahore, and Islamabad—due to their higher media engagement and purchasing power. Once
awareness is established, the strategy will expand to semi-urban areas like Hyderabad,
Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad.
This phased, scalable approach ensures Pureza gains visibility where it matters most while
remaining practical for a growing local brand.

Ad Content
10-15 seconds (TV) and 5-10 seconds (YouTube) ad showing mother cleaning the floor while her
child is near the product but she is not worried, but Pureza is safe even spilled on floor.
Moreover, a before and after usage of Pureza can be shown with real life people to increase
credibility.
I use
Pureza.
Do you?
In-store Sampling
Sample testing in supermarkets like Carefour and Imtiaz free of cost so that consumers can get
tangible experience of the product which also increases the likelihood of purchase.
20
Whatsapp Community
Most women have neighborhood community groups so a whatsapp community or channel can be
formed in which people can refer Pureza to their friends and neighborhood and save Rs. 50.
Pureza Website
The products website would enable consumer to view the description of product and how to use
in case they are unable to figure out from the code so they can see tutorials from the website.
Website will also provide a user experience in the form of comprehensive information about the
product.
Campaign Funnel
Pureza’s campaign funnel is structured to move the target audience from awareness to long-term
brand loyalty through a clear, phased approach.
Top of the Funnel (Awareness): Initial exposure is created through digital advertising across
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. This is complemented by content creators and real-
life people introducing the product.
touchpoints allow potential users to experience Pureza’s benefits directly, building familiarity
and trust.
Bottom of the Funnel (Conversion and Loyalty): To drive purchases and loyalty, the strategy
includes QR code-based reward programs, referral incentives, and community-driven content
such as user testimonials and contests. These elements encourage repeat use and turn satisfied
users into brand advocates.
This funnel ensures that Pureza’s marketing efforts are not only widespread but also effective in
generating action and sustained customer relationships.
Measurement
Pakistan’s Cleaning market is expected to growth at 9% CAGR by 2025-2031 (6W Research,
2025). Taking this into consideration, the campaign was designed, and the key measures are
made which mainly include the in-store, online, sales, brand perception, and success metrics of
campaign. Moreover, the tentative launch is August 2025. Measurements will be done from
September, 2025 onwards.
23
1. Conversion
KPI: Conversion rate from reach to first-time product trial or purchase (percentage of people
who visited the website, in-store, and sample usage converted to purchase the product)
Tactics
Partner with retailers like Imtiaz and Carrefour to place promoters who offer mini-Pureza
sachets. This is effective in Pakistan because shoppers are receptive to in-hand, free samples,
especially in crowded stores before Eid, Ramadan, or weekends.
Digital notification from ecommerce stores for trial packs such as running “Try Now”
campaigns on Facebook and Instagram with direct links to Daraz and Pandamart.
100 ml packets
Justification
Pakistani people need sizable samples before they shift their purchases and they are quick to
respond to something which is free of cost or low cost with sizable portion which can be tested
and checked. The 100ml packets at low cost would enable them to get tangible user experience
and make the original purchase leading to 5%-8% conversion rate. Moreover, there is great
competition in Pakistan such as Dettol due to which it is important for Pureza to first shift the
customer perception of product through trial segment so that their confidence can be captured.
24
2. Sales Volume
Distribution deals with key retailers in KLI. Ensure visible shelf space and product stands in
cleaning aisles.
List Pureza with eye-catching visuals, reviews, and bundled discounts. Offer exclusive
discounts during Daraz 11.11 and Ramadan weeks, when home care products spike.
Use QR codes on bottles to reward second-time buyers with “Save Rs. 50” by “Refer to a
Friend” via WhatsApp community.
Estimated Cost
Justification
Pakistani consumers are price-sensitive but brand-loyal when the product delivers the
promise it made. These actions reduce first-time buying hesitation and encourage habitual
use and this is more likely to happen if discount is given for spreading the message.
Moreover, once high visibility will be created so customers will buy the product along with
when product will be placed with competitors at much lower price so it will eventually ignite
customer’s thought process to buy the product.
Run Facebook/Instagram and YouTube ads focused on urban women aged 25–45, using
filters like city, parental status, and interests like cleaning, parenting, home decor.
Collaborate with TikTok creators and home vloggers to drive reels/stories that double as ad
creatives.
Use rickshaw back panel, and pole streamers (posters on pole) to generate high reach in low-
cost areas where digital may be limited.
Estimated Cost
Rs. 5–7 per 1,000 impressions (digital spend: Rs. 250,000) which depends on the current
rate.
Justification
In Pakistan, combining digital with physical visibility gives you full audience coverage from
social media moms to store-walking ladies. Moreover, since it’s a disposable product, it’s
important to make the product known across all platforms by all means so that customers
become quickly familiar with the product. Though traditional form of tactics is used but it would
work in areas where there is no digital presence.
Post real-mom testimonials (“Why I Chose Pureza”) and child safety demos to build
empathy.
26
Launch #CleanWithPureza, a contest which reward users for posting cleaning videos using
Pureza with small product gifts or vouchers.
Use Insta polls (“What’s your biggest cleaning worry?”) and swipe quizzes (“Safe or
harsh?”) to increase interaction and engage with customers/people.
Community cleaning drives where digital reach is not much to encourage people to
participate and know about the product.
Estimated Cost
Justification
Pakistani social media audiences engage most with relatable content and incentives. UGC
contests build ownership and virality.
KPI: Average satisfaction score (scale of 1-5 with 1 being bad) + Net Promoter Score (NPS:
recommending the product)
Target: 4.0+/5 satisfaction rating and NPS > 20
Deadline: Target to be met in 1 Year (October 2026)
Tactics
Customers who give feedback are entered into a monthly “thank-you” draw reinforcing
goodwill or a small goodie.
Dissatisfied users are given coupon support or follow-up call from Pureza representative
creating personal care touchpoint.
Estimated Cost
Justification
Collecting and responding to feedback improves trust and retention, especially in a high-touch,
family-sensitive category like cleaning products. Moreover, drawing an emotional touch and
rewarding happy customers is likely to result in customer rating the brand more than competitors
because they are being rewarded for purchasing which shows a sign of appreciation and kind
gesture.
6. Brand Awareness
KPI: Brand Recall (aided: brand recall when given hints and unaided: brand recall when no
hints given) and Reach (total number of unique people exposed to Pureza’s brand messaging
across platforms and channels.)
Target: 15% aided brand recall and 25% unaided among urban women and institutional users
in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. The reach can be at least 100,000 individuals.
Tactics
Targeted digital ads and video storytelling across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok
to maximize exposure and repeat brand name visibility.
Influencer demos and branded content with clear verbal brand mentions, boosted to new and
lookalike audiences.
In-store sampling with promoter scripts and branded POS materials at Imtiaz, Metro, and
Carrefour to reinforce name recall during trial.
Localized outdoor branding via rickshaw ads in high-footfall urban areas to extend offline
visibility and memorability.
Estimated Cost
Justification
By blending digital, in-store, influencer, and outdoor tactics, Pureza creates not just visibility but
a lasting impact. Whether it’s a trusted influencer’s recommendation, a glimpse on a rickshaw, or
a friendly product demo at a store, each touchpoint reinforces the brand in a natural, memorable
way. This repeated exposure across different moments in daily life helps build both trust and
familiarity. In a market like Pakistan, where personal connection and consistent presence matter,
this multi-touch approach ensures Pureza stays top-of-mind and close to heart.
Conclusion
The IMC strategy for Pureza was developed to introduce a safe, eco-friendly, and affordable all-
purpose surface cleaner that meets the everyday needs of Pakistani households and institutions.
Anchored by the positioning “Safe. Saaf. Sasta.”, the campaign aligns every element from sales
objectives to creative storytelling around Pureza’s promise of effective and family-safe cleaning.
A structured funnel guides consumers from awareness to loyalty using a mix of digital and
offline channels tailored to the local context. With emotionally resonant messaging, influencer
engagement, sampling, QR-based loyalty rewards, and WhatsApp referrals, the strategy ensures
high visibility and trust across touchpoints. Clear KPIs covering brand recall, engagement,
conversions, and satisfaction support the plan, grounded in realistic budgets and timelines.
Lastly, Pureza is positioned not just as a cleaner but as a thoughtful and responsible choice for
the modern Pakistani consumer.
