Gillette Brand “The Best a Man Can Get” •

“Gillette has been at the heart of men’s grooming for over 100 years. Each day, more than 600 million men around the world trust their faces and skin to Gillette’s innovative razors and shaving products”3

Gillette is a well established brand that has been a leader in men’s grooming products since 1901 when King C. Gillette invented the first safety razor with disposable blades3

In May 2013, Gillette switched from BBDO advertising agency to Grey Global Group10

In May-June 2013, Gillette launched a successful integrated marketing campaign that also worked as a promotional piece for the movie Man of Steel, asking fans and Gillette users “How Does Superman Shave.” This campaign generated much buzz for both Gillette and the movie17

Gillette ranks it’s shaving gel, foams, and creams from “Best to Better to Good” which goes from the Fusion ProGlide Series, Gillette Series, and Classic Series 3

Gillette’s headquarters are based in Boston, Massachusetts 3

The Gillette Company was purchased by P&G in 2005 for an estimated $57 billion, becoming one of P&G’s top franchises11

According to Forbes’ “Worlds Most Valuable Brand List” the Gillette Brand is ranked #23 as it is estimated to be worth $18.3 Billion15

P&G controls 70% of the global blades and razors market led by Gillette15

Gillette’s male grooming products have won numerous awards through out the years, such as being recognized by Esquire’s, Men’s Health and Allure’s Grooming Awards3

In efforts to go more green, Gillette’s package design has switched to a more eco-friendly material, which has reduced 57% of plastic used16

Gillette’s male grooming products include: Manual, Power, and Disposable Razors, Razor Blades, Shaving Gel, Foams, and Creams, Skin Care & Aftershaves, Antiperspirant and Deodorants, and Body Washes3

According to Interbrand, “Gillette continues to benefit from an increase in demand for men’s grooming products in fast-developing markets, especially in India.” One way Gillette drives this demand is through sports sponsorships, such as sponsoring sporting events like the Gillette Future Champs Tournament in Saudi Arabia16

18


• Consider putting money towards radio since Edge is the only brand to do so • Advertise in outdoor since competitors do not advertise there • Use a continuous strategy and advertise during the whole year

• Take advantage of the months where Edge does not advertise • Old Spice overall has the largest budget so it might be helpful to increase the overall budget

• Increase budget for Magazines since Gillette has the lowest • Increase budget for TV since Old Spice dominates the category • Consider putting money towards synd. & spot TV since not all competitors

Target Objective: To reach M18-49 current users of Gillette shaving creams, gels, and foams with a HHI of between $30,000-$75,000

Geography Objective: To provide a national campaign with a geographic heavy-up in four spot markets, which include Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles •

The geographic focus for this campaign will allow the ads to reach the target across the nation while giving extra consideration to certain locations. The four spot markets where chosen based of Gillette’s target demographics

Seasonality/Scheduling Objective: To provide pulsing support year round, with having extra support during the summer. • Considering that shaving cream is a non-seasonal product, year round reinforcement will keep Gillette’s target constantly reminded about their products versus its competitors, especially Old Spice • Since men tend to shave more in the summer, having additional advertising during the summer will work as another reminder for men to choose Gillette over Old Spice.

Plan Performance Objective: To reach 75% of M18-49 an average of 2.7 times per month for a total of 203 TRPs • Taking Gillette’s sales and marketing objectives into consideration, this campaign will emphasize on frequency while making reach a low priority. Considering Gillette is a well known brand and that they want to market current users, Ostrow’s Frequency Model indicates that 2.7 times is an optimal amount • Reach & Frequency increase slightly in the heavy-up markets during June-August

Summary In order to meet Gillette’s media objectives, the following mediums were selected to ensure that the advertising messages would be delivered to the target.Taking Gillette’s media objectives, their target’s media habits, their competitors media mixes, and the media plan budget all into consideration, the mediums that were chosen include TV, Radio, Magazine, Newspaper, Internet, and Outdoor.

Television • • • •

Based off of Simmons research, Gillette’s target watches TV TV is the largest mass medium available for advertisers Considering the target watches TV, advertising within this medium would be a great way to reach Gillette’s target Gillette’s competitors are spending money on TV as well, with Old Spice dominating the category

Chosen Dayparts •

The following dayparts were chosen based off the target’s media habits and Gillette’s competitors media mixes

Net-TV: Prime, Cable Early Fringe & Cable Prime • • •

Based of Simmons research, majority of the target watches TV during Early Fringe and Primetime hours Considering that the target is employed and works full time, these dayparts are when most of the target can even watch TV Primetime (broadcast & cable) tends to have a higher CPM because these hours have the largest viewing audience of the day and the programming tends to be the most desirable

Net-TV: Sports • • •

Based off of Simmons research, majority of the target enjoys watching sports With this in mind, advertising on sports channels would be an effective way to reach Gillette’s target The cost per thousand viewers is fairly efficient, given that it is a more niche & specialized daypart

40


Net Radio • • • • • •

Based off of Simmons research, Gillette’s target listens to the radio Net Radio is a great medium to reach the target inexpensively and more frequently Radio users tend to be loyal listeners by tuning in to a particular station regularly o which can help build frequency Net Radio allows for Gillette ads to be placed across the nation Research shows that the time between media exposure and purchase is shorter for radio than for any other traditional medium Out of all the competitors, Edge is the only one to put money towards net radio o Since not all of the competitors are using Net Radio, this can be a great way for Gillette to stand out

Morning and Evening Drive Dayparts •

According to Simmons research, Gillette’s target tends to listen to the radio the most during the Morning and Evening Drive hours o Since the target works full time, they are most likely listening to the radio on the way to and from work and advertising during these times would be the most effective way to reach the target

National Newspapers • • • •

Men’s Magazines • • • •

• •

According to Simmons research, Gillette’s target reads men magazines All of Gillette’s competitors put ad money towards magazines, especially Old Spice who dominates the category Advertising in Magazines allows Gillette to reach its target directly Since Gillette shaving cream products tend to be a more visual product, placing ads in a magazine would be a more aesthetically appealing way to advertise and grab the target’s attention o In addition, magazines are printed in color and have great production quality Magazine subscriptions and loyal readers are another way to build frequency, since the target would be getting the magazines monthly and see the ad each time What makes magazines unique compared to the other mediums is that they tend to “hang around” o When readers are done reading magazines, they either pass them along to their friends or have them lying around. Magazine’s long issue life allows for the ads to been seen over and over again

41


Online Targeted Sites • • • • • •

Outdoor • •

• •

Outdoor billboards provide massive exposure at an inexpensive cost They are able to reach more people and build frequency o For ex: if the billboard is placed on a major highway, people will see the billboard each time they drive to work so they would see it frequently Considering that none of Gillette’s competitors put money towards outdoor, this is a great way for Gillette to stand out from its competitors, especially Old Spice The heavy-up markets that were chosen include Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles o According to Simmons research, the target tends to have a slight geographic skew in the south and tends to live in these cities more than the average adult Since men tend to shave more during the summer, the advertisements would be placed only in June, July, and August

42
