- 7. The KitKat Pillowbook • Nestle: Kitkat created the product Pillowbook along side JWT to create the promotional advert.
- 8. Purpose • The purpose of this product is to increase brand recognition, putting the advert on the internet means that people can share and like the KitKat post hoping that more and more people will see it, • Ideally it will go viral for then creating a more recognition to the branding and for the slogan “Take a break, have a Kit Kat” • The purpose of the products according to the advert is so that college students can “catch up on their precious sleep in between lessons” assuming that they lead packed lifestyles with going out at night, getting sleep at early hours in the morning and studying through the day. • They designed this product to “help” Uni and college students.
- 9. Genre • The genre of this advert is a chocolate bar using a newly different associated product to promote the general branding products, this means this advert looks like an informercial, which is creating a smaller, side product to advertise the bigger product within. • We normally expect a chocolate bar advert to be bright, colourful and reflecting on the brand colour. They normally include a joke, a funny slogan or have the advert be sudductive to help is stand out from all the others chocolate adverts. • For example the Twix advert, Twix comes as a due so they have put one on it’s own and with it being illustrated as a game of hang man being single is horrible so why don’t you buy a Twix as it comes as a pair. • The KitKat advert of the pillow book is different as they are advertising a product made by them to promote the chocolate bar brand and aiming at a particular audience which is 18-25 year old who go to college and university, unlike the twin advert that are aiming at whole general public but you could argue and say that they are aiming at single people due the the nature of the advert.
- 10. Form • This advert is web based and was only advertised on the web, • Although it could be print based their product did not do well enough for them to make it as a print based advert. • The advert was not been designed to be print based, this advert would belong on a small information/advertising space in a newspaper or a magazine.
- 11. Style • This advert still fits the style of a typical chocolate advert or Kit Kats adverts with the colour scheme mainly • But also has the all the conventions of a Kit Kat advert, except it has a picture of people using the product and not using different genres and age groups which could narrow the target audience down. • The advert is ver visually presentable in the way of how it is bright and interesting to look at at, with all the different elements, picture of product, picture of the target audience, KitKat slogan, and short paragraph explaining why the product has been brought out and has the red colour scheme of the company.
- 12. Content • The content again has all the conventions of a Kitkat advert, such as the colour scheme,KitKat logo, title of the product, but they have a pitch like paragraph on the advert to brief the audience on what the product is and what it’s for as this product is not a typical KitKat product. • The advert includes, a picture of the product, logo, branding audience using the product, and a short brief of information so the audience know what the product is for and whom it is aimed at. • A picture of the product, from two different angles Branding colour scheme Image of target audience using the products. Titles of the product The Branding name and logo A brief of the product
- 13. Meaning • The meaning of this advert is to get the a new and desired target audience to buy their product and to create more brand recognition. The audience read the advert like it’s caring about college and university students working hard as it assumes that they lead packed lifestyles with education and their social life so when Kitkat created this adverts they create the illusion that they care about how much sleep they are getting by creating this product to catch up on their sleep, when actually they only care about the money that they will be making and promoting their company. • The picture is used to get the audience more interested in the overall brand, which is chocolate bar, the product that they are advertising gets the whole brand more recognition with the target audience which is aiming at young teen preferable that are still at college and university. • The meaning has been created by the brief on the advert, by explaining why they brought the product out and how it help people who by the product.
- 14. Production process The production process of this product is: 1. Concept idea. 2. Brief of the product and how well it will do in the marketing. 3. Prototype 4.Final product. 5. After the final product has been made advertisement will begin and the product product will go ahead.
- 15. Production process • The process to make the advertising poster or infoposter. • You’ll need a picture of the product to have on the poster, so an organised scheduled photoshoot which can also use it to take shots of the models in the poster. • Graphic design for the poster including colour scheme, font choice. • The poster is an info graphic so the information that they have placed on their would of to be copyright checked. • Once all these steps have been done, all the extras like the title, logo, etc would of added and made sure that the poster is symmetrical and attractive. 15
- 16. Target audience • The target audience for this advert is for people who eat chocolate, getting more people to eat KitKat bars, this product aims the brand at college / university students preferably ages between 16-25. This advert is web based so it is aimed at people who use the web more than likely ages between 16-25 which are people at college and university so putting it on the web it quite ideal to the audience it is aimed at. • The advert has images of the people using the product in which are male, so you could argue and say that this product is aimed at males. • Kitkat have a wide variety of different target audiences, they target many different people by bringing out different products that aim towards a variety of different audiences such as different ages, specific genders and in different developed countries etc. This is how they have created a large audience for them selves, here are some examples: • Kitkat sale figures show that they are on an increase by each year by 0.1% so they are either gaining a bigger audience or the same audience are buy more of their products. They also do not have a specific target audience, their target are males and females of all ages. 16-25/College and Uni Chocolate and Kit lovers House holders (Dinner tray)
- 17. Target audience • Everyones put into categories from A1-E2 depending of their location/household income/occupation/ ownerships etc. This is called the SEC System, Social-economic classification system. Here is a typical grid that would be made to help create target consumers for a business, this one has been made to aim at college students. This is similar to what KitKat or any other company would do to try and help target an audience for their product. For an example if KitKat brought out a highly expensive, top quality chocolate bar that was really small or didn't get much in a packet and is still only for a snack. They wouldn't expect a college student or someone with not a lot of money to by this product regularly or enjoy spending that much money on such a small product because it wouldn't be fully satisfying for a college student consumer with a low budget so they would expect a person that have a high house hold income and that wouldn't mind spending habit more on a chocolate bar to by that product. An example of a piece of chocolate that are like this are Ferrero rocher or Lindor Chocolate. You can tell that these products are aimed at people that like quality over quantity as you don't get much in a packet which are people who have high household income because they are expensive unlike Kitkat chocolate bars. If Katkat changed their chocolate bars to better quality and more expensive they would be expected to also change their font and packaging layout to be more attractive to a higher income target audience. 17
- 18. Repackaging • During the 1990’s Kitkat change the packaging of their KitKat chocolate with different packaging because some people thought it looked like it was not wrapped properly and wasn’t hygienic enough. 18
- 19. Repackaging and rebranding • When Kitkat change their packing on their chocolate bar they also invested into rebranding the image to make them look more world friendly. Which after the forrest destruction campaign against their creator, Nestle they wanted to present their product to be a high quality and moral ridden. They way they got this across to consumers is by making their product fair trade tot he coca farmers, adding a ‘clean up your litter’ picture on the packed and by giving the consumer a nutrients guideline to eating their products. 19
- 20. Spending power • The reason that Kitkat has aimed this product at this age group is because they have the most disposable income when compared to most or any other age groups so it would make sense to have this product aimed at college and university students because the product probably wouldn’t last to long as the inflatable would deflate and become warn. • Statistics show the the most disposable earned income are from the retired but that is not included teens this is due to them not required to pay bills, are often given an allowance, and are provided for.
- 21. Distribution • Not many of these products were distributed overall as it was just sold on the social media, like Facebook, Twitter, etc but only a few were sold within the media industry to different media sectors to people that found that product useful and interesting. Although there was a 16% increase in like on Kitts Facebook page, only 50 of the products were distributed on the first day and not many more follow the release day. • http://www.advertolog.com/kit-kat/directmarketing/pillow-book-17345555/ • You would typical find this style of advert in a magazine on a small information section. • If you would like to advertise on Twitter you have to pay a daily fee of between £0.01 to around £1.50-£2, I can image that Facebook will be similar. • Twitter have 6 rules that you have to obeyed by when advertising. 1. Keep users safe. 2. Promote honest content and target it responsibly. 3. Don't distribute spam, harmful code, or other disruptive content. 4. Set high editorial standards for the Twitter Ads content you create. 5. Set high standards for the off-Twitter connections you create. 6. Be informed about the Twitter Ads processes that support these policies 7. https://support.twitter.com/articles/20169693-twitter-ads-policies
- 22. Products impact • The product did not make much of an impact on the general public and its audience and it was not widely advertise through different sectors and was never sent through to be print based. The product was only advertised on social media.
- 23. ASA - Legal issues • ASA, Advertising Standards Authority work alongside CAP, The Committees of Advertising Practice, they write and maintain the UK Advertising Codes, which are administered by the Advertising Standards Authority. • ASA is the UK’s independent regulator of advertising across all media. They apply the Advertising codes, which are written by the committees of Advertising practice. Our work includes acting on complaints and proactively checking the media to take action against misleading, harmful or offensive advertisements. • ASA 2have set the rules/laws that you must have to be responsible, must not mislead, or offend any specific rules that cover advertising to children and ads for specific sectors like alcohol, gambling, motoring, health and financial products. • There was no complaints made by ASA toward KitKat’s Pillowbook. 23
- 24. Legal and ethical issue • The ethical issues with this is that there are 3 pictures on the advert and all of them are white males, aged between 18-25. The problem with this is that people could see this as Kitkat only advertising at white people or males, so them using these pictures narrows down their target audience to that group and could even find offence to some viewers.
- 25. Legal and ethical • Nestle have had to fight off a campaign against Kit Kat by Greenpeace about the destruction of the rain forest. Nestle cut down more than x about of tree to make their oil that is used for many product from making paper to making chocolate KitKat. The problem with this that is it left a carbon footprint on the planet to make their products by cutting and burning down the forest in Africa which were many of the orang-utans live. So by cutting down the trees to create their oil they were increasing the carbon in the air and killing innocent endangered animals by taking away their habitats. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/climate- change/kitkat/ 25
- 26. Nestlé • Nestlé is the world’s leading nutrition, health and wellness company. Even thought they are responsible for some leading chocolate brands like KitKat. They major player within the UK and Irish food industry employing 8,000 employees across the 23 sites. They are proud to produce some of Britain’s best loved brands such as Kit Kat, Nescafé, Smarties, Buxton, Go Cat and Shreddies. They are one of the UK and Ireland's food industry’s major exporters, exporting over £346m worth of products every year to over 70 countries around the world. • Although Nestlé has the reputation of bringing the world their beloved chocolate and best known products, in the 1970s they gained a reputation damaging boycott against their campaign of powdered milk. This is due to all the unnecessary health problems and deaths in babies in less economically developed countries. These health and death problems have occurred due to their baby milk because of the added ‘Bispherl A’ which is a carbon-based synthetic compound used to make certain plastics. This is a quote by Nestlé “There is no question about breast milk being the best start a baby can have in life. Nestlé firmly believes that breastfeeding is the best way to feed a baby and is strongly committed to its protection and promotion.” So with this quote Nestle is just backing up the research into the health warning of their products. They exported x amount of their powdered baby milk in the the east which created a huge protest towards Nestlé. • http://www.businessinsider.com/nestles-infant-formula-scandal-2012-6?op=1&IR=T 26
