What is an Occasion?

We want our target market to associate the Oreo brand with an occasion. An occasion is more than a moment. A moment is fleeting, gone in seconds. It’s a brief period of time. An occasion is grandiose. It’s a celebration, a memory one keeps tucked away to keep close. An occasion is a collection of events, social functions and experiences; a chain of instantaneous moments tied together by time shared with others, and often the most memorable and heartfelt occasions are those spent with loved ones.

Creative Brief Biscuits are naturally fun. The main reason OREO is able to differentiate itself in this heavily saturated market is through the ritual, “Twist, Lick, and Dunk.” We believe that the experience of eating an OREO, because of the ritual, is an occasion in itself. This belief inspired the theme for our campaign launch, “OREO is more than a cookie, it’s an occasion”. We believe this will help separate OREO from other biscuits. Our campaign is geared to mothers with kids between the ages of 6-12. Our goal is to engage these mothers in the OREO brand and the launch of OREO in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Our campaign is composed of two family friendly events; “Light the Night with OREO” and “Winter Weekends with OREO”. Leading up to the events, several media outlets will be used to build buzz and reinforce the idea of TLD. The media outlets can be viewed in their entirety below, but the categories include: traditional TV advertisements, in-store promotion, out of home advertising, social media, guerilla marketing.

Events Light the Night with Oreo September 2011 •Czech

Republic (Prague, Brno, and Ostrava) •Slovakia (Bratislava, Kosice, Presov) Light the Night with Oreo is our take on an occasion. We are creating this event for families to come together, make memories, and celebrate. The main event is a light show; body images will be projected onto a screen, along with OREO cookie graphics. Also, professional dancers could be involved to incorporate components of the Twist, Lick and Dunk ritual (dancers would be performing back flips to represent twist, OREO cookies would be cascading into glasses of milk to demonstrate dunk). Along with the light show, there will also be a handful of other fun activities that tie in the ritual. For instance, inflatable OREO obstacle course (integrating all stages of ritual), OREO Dunk Tank, not to mention takehome souvenirs (customized green screen photo of the attendees in form of a key chain). This event will also offer plenty of opportunities to sample OREO cookies and OREO themed foods (OREO cookies paired with ice cream, and offered as a topping with yogurt, etc.). Attendants of this event will find themselves in a lively and up beat environment, a perfect setting for delightful moments that children and parents are sure to never forget, all while enjoying music by a family friendly DJ. Competition: Participants will also have the chance to partake in our contest, “Oreo is more than a cookie, it is a ________”.The winner shall be decided by votes submitted online by the general public. By winning this competition, the recipient will receive a 426, 000Kc grant to aid in the purchase of new supplies, e.g. books, computers, pens, pencils, etc. This event will be partnering with UNICEF and all proceeds will go forward in support of the charity

Conclusion The Oreo brand is distinct. The “Twist, Lick and Dunk” ritual positions Oreo as a unique cookie, one we believe will stand out in this saturated biscuit market.

Our campaign, “Oreo is more than just a cookie, it is an occasion” celebrates the special ‘occasions’ parents and children share while eating Oreos. We chose the word “occasion” because they are grandiose. It’s a celebration or experience marked by fond memories and playful interactions. To emphasize this point, we’ve created two main events, organized on a large scale in order to bring communities, families, and the OREO brand together.

Our campaign is actually an occasion within itself; an entire 360˚ communication plan. The 360˚ media plan instills the TLD ritual in the mind of consumers as while as the association between “occasion” and Oreo. We believe when someone picks up an Oreo, they are not just eating a cookie, but rather creating heartfelt experiences with the people they hold close to their heart.
