Executive Summary This report provides an advertising and brand management proposal for Ben & Jerry’s with a consideration of the Situation Analysis, an opportunity in the industry which could exist for Ben & Jerry’s, along with a strategy, a creative, media plan and budget to explore such an opportunity. Key Findings The research draws attention to the growth in the frozen yoghurt market, which currently has few competitors and is largely dominated in the UK by a single brand. The market size however, being rather small at this stage presents an opportunity for Ben & Jerry’s to utilize this by creating a line extension from Ice Cream into Frozen Yoghurt; a strategy already implemented in America. Also with the social health trend increasingly moving people towards healthier options and substitutes for high calorie products, such a line extension could yield a significant market share for Ben & Jerry’s in the Frozen Yoghurt market and could consequently increase its sale of Ice Cream as research indicates. Problems & Solutions Because Ben & Jerry’s currently has only two Frozen Yoghurt Flavours in the UK which are not advertised or distributed with the same aggressiveness as its Ice Cream counterparts, an investment in this market will yield a low ROI for the first year because the frequency of purchase will be limited by the limited flavours. However, an investment in a variety of flavours in the UK market will most likely yield a higher Return on Investment, as the frequency of purchase is likely to increase. Recommendations It is recommended that: - Ben & Jerry’s invest in producing more frozen yoghurt flavours for this market. - Promote this product through creative advertising. - Invest in equal visible distribution and availability of this product. - Increase the market share of Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt by 10% in frozen yogurt market by March 2015 in the UK. (10% in frozen yogurt market= £1m = 222,000 tubs to sale) - Increase sales by £1 million of Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt by March 2015 in the UK market.

Situational Analysis 1. About Ben & Jerry’s It all began 36 years ago with a simple yet an extraordinary mouth-watering scoop. The American Ice cream company, Ben & Jerry’s is a brand name that is owned by Unilever, offering a wide range of ice cream flavours, and using the finest ingredients with care. It was first established in 1978 by the school friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. The friends came together to redefine the way ice cream lovers around the world enjoy their ice cream through the scoop shop. In 1994, following a major success with 80 ice cream shops around 18 different states in America, the friends began the distribution of their ice cream in the UK and in no time Ben and Jerry’s became worldwide. Asides from producing extraordinary ice cream flavours, Ben and Jerry’s widened its platform by offering lighter options for their consumers such as frozen yogurt and the "lighter" versions of ice creams (Unilever, 2014).
Frozen yogurt
Ben & Jerry’s introduced their frozen yogurt flavours in 2012. However there are only two frozen yogurt options in the UK market, which are alternatives to the existing ice cream flavours. In other words, these two flavours bear the same flavour titles of the ice cream versions but come in different packaging for differentiation. They are Chocolate Fudge Brownie frozen yogurt, and Phish Food frozen yogurt. (Ben & Jerry’s, 2014). This means that the visibility and indeed knowledge of this by consumers in the UK is very low as it is hardly championed as a mainstream product in this country.
The distribution channels
Ben & Jerry's distributes their ice creams and frozen yogurt in the UK in well known supermarkets including ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and many more. Other than supermarkets, Ben & Jerry's places ice cream in licensed counters at Cinemas, plus restaurants like Bella Italia, Domino's Pizza and convenience shops.
Environmentally friendly
Ben & Jerry’s differentiates itself by avoiding the use of any toxic chemicals that might occur in the production of their ice cream or ingredients. Caring about the environment and the way the production of their ice cream is followed is taken seriously by Ben & Jerry’s. This is done via reducing the amount of negative waste that could cause damage to the environment and to create a sense of an environmentally friendly brand.

2. The Brand Wheel
Brand Essence
A brand is a collection of thoughts and feelings which gives an “intangible” attribute to the consumer and more personal and significant in competing with other brands and their intangible attributes. (Brandchannel, 2014). The case with Ben & Jerry’s is no different; the brand essence or the nature of the brand comprises of innocence, joy, a sense of green and of course approachable. All these intangible attributes can be easily found in their packaging, commercials and main website communicating one standard image about the brand using the same green colour and signature cow character in a comic manner (reflecting nature and joy).
Personality
To distinguish any brand, a personality has to be built to achieve “uniqueness” among others. Ben & Jerry’s has built a personality that embraces fun, friendliness and being caring especially in terms of positioning itself as an environmentally friendly brand.
5
Values
Environmentally Friendly: From the environment to the tub, Ben & Jerry’s is committed to making their ice creams with less harm to the environment and eco-friendly, believing that earth needs to be respected. Socially Responsible: As Ben & Jerry’s considers the society that they operate in, by improving ways of life they are committed to implementing Fair-trade on their sold products.
Benefits
Benefit is the core thing that you would get from the product and what the product offer to the consumer out of consuming/ using the product. This can be functional like in the case of Ben & Jerry’s frozen yogurt like cooling, refreshing or can be psychological like being a healthier person and who cares about his health instead of consuming ice cream which contains more calories than frozen yogurt.
Attributes
Attributes can be categorised in two ways; A.
At a concrete level: in which those attributes are tangible like the colour or the shape of B&J’s tubs. In addition the different flavours (e.g: Cookie dough or half baked cookies with actual cookie chunks) that those tubs contain.
B.
At an abstract level: In which a description is given to the product by its manufacturer, this includes the brand name of Ben & Jerry’s or the name of each flavour they offer as an example.

The above table illustrates the sales value of the overall ice cream market (including ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt). The ice cream segment sales is steadily increasing, this is due to the ice cream consumers switching to buying premium ice cream (Mintel, 2013). On the other hand, the frozen yogurt segment sales is also increasing, and doubled in market size between 2009 and 2013, becoming worth £10 million. That is 150% growth within 5 years. This is due to the popularity of the frozen yogurt and the new product releases, plus the perception of “health” in consumers mind. (Retailtimes, 2013)
Market share
(%)
Ben & Jerry’s have been the ice cream market leaders since 2009 and have been growing 58% share of market from 2009 to 2013. However, the competition is very tough as Wall’s Carte DiOr and Haagen-Daz follow Ben & Jerry’s with 13% and 11% of the market share respectively while 28% market share is owned by own-label products (e.g: Tesco’s own labelled ice cream) The above graph reveals that Yoomoo are the only representatives of the frozen yogurt segment, dominating 1% of the whole ice cream market, this suggests that frozen yogurt is mostly Yoomoo and no other brand.
Implications
The growth of the frozen yoghurt market is an opportunity that cannot be ignored, especially as the health trend is steadily increasing. Hence, this presents itself as an opportunity for Ben & Jerry’s to invest now in the industry and catch up with the trend by introducing more than just 2
7
flavours in the UK market. Plus, the “niche” market is still not big enough, so it is advantageous to start investing in a market that is growing.
More frozen yogurt flavours!
There is a clear problem in distribution/accessibility due to lack of awareness. Although the packaging comes in a different colour, product placement in the fridge needs to be revised because it isn’t visible enough for the consumer. Also the naming of the frozen yogurt editions might lead to consumer confusion, as the frozen yogurt editions hold the exact ice creams name but adding, “frozen yogurt” instead of “ice cream”.
4. Main Consumers According to research from Mintel in 2013, there are two main consumer groups of ice cream. First is the main consumers of ice cream who are aged 25-34, mostly female with medium family size consists of 4-5 members and mostly have children between 5-9 years old. The second group are the main consumers of frozen yogurt nowadays, who are aged between 16-24 years old and have relatively higher health-conscious. After comparing the market share between ice cream and frozen yogurt, we believe the first group would be more valuable for Ben & Jerry’s frozen yogurt to target. (Decision reasoning will be discussed in Target Group in Marketing Strategy section). Table 1: Types of ice cream/frozen yogurt eaten/bought in the past 12 months

5. Competitors Ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt are categorised in one market. In other words, they can be the alternative options for a consumer’s choice. Therefore, Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt has both direct competitors (frozen yogurt segmentation) and indirect competitors (ice cream segmentation) in the UK market. A further distinction can be made with Premium and Non Premium Ice creams. It can be said that the growth and competition of Ice Cream started with the birth of premium ice creams in the market by various brands and even own market brands such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s etc. In the past, Ice Cream was mostly cold creamy sugar balls meant for children but this development has increased the demand amongst an older audience and target market. Consequently worth mentioning is the fact that the sale of each of these products supplements the sale of others. The increase in sale of frozen yoghurt consequently increases the sale in ice cream therefore it is advantageous for a company to have both ice cream and frozen yoghurt available to consumers. The Direct Competitors in the frozen yoghurt segment include frozen yoghurt sold in bars and others sold in convenient tubs. Table 2: Direct competitors of Ben & Jerry’s frozen yogurt in the UK

Positioning Map
In order to show positions of ice cream and frozen yogurt brands, this positioning map has been set by two main criteria - Price and Age of Target Group. In the ice cream sector, the main competitors of Ben & Jerry’s such as Haagen-Dazs and Magnum target a relatively similar market. However, the frozen yogurt brands such as Yoomoo, Yog, YeoValley and Wall’s occupy different target markets. As the frozen yogurt is the extended product from Ben & Jerry’s, we suggest to keep the same brand position already built so that consumers would not be confused by the different brand strategies and also Ben & Jerry’s will be distinctive in frozen yogurt market.

6. PEST Analysis
Social
Factor Description The UK has witnessed growth in the number of families through the past years. Starting with 16.5 million families in 1996 to 17.1 million families in 2006, and 18.2 million families in 2013. This demonstrates the rapid growth in family numbers in the past few years. However the average number of children per family remains 2. Celebrities have a direct and an indirect on people everywhere. People tend to consume the foods that they see celebrities consuming. It has been suggested that celebrities has been seen consuming more frozen yogurt than ever, in the recent years.
Impact The growth in family means a larger opportunity in the market consequently a potential increase in sales.

Marketing Strategy 1. Marketing Objectives A.
B.
To increase the market share of Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt by 10% in frozen yogurt market by March 2015 in the UK. (10% in frozen yogurt market= £1m = 222,000 tubs to sale) To Increase sales by £1 million of Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt by March 2015 in the UK market.
2. Target Group In Consumer Graph section, we mentioned that there are two main consumer segments whether they are the ice cream main consumers or the frozen yogurt main consumers. There are three reasons why Ben & Jerry’s should target the first group. First of all, main consumers of the entire ice cream sector are the people aged 25-34 (Table 1.1). As the ice cream market is getting stable and frozen yogurt’s market is boosting, the opportunity for Ben & Jerry’s is greater to make use of this since the population of the former is greater than the latter. Secondly, the main consumers of frozen yogurt are younger probably because the competitors, such as Yoomoo, are targeting this group (refer to competitors). However, the rest consumers outside the 1% frozen yogurt market could be the potential target audience for Ben & Jerry’s frozen yogurt. Lastly, to treat the frozen yogurt as a product extension of Ben & Jerry’s, we have to look at the target audience we already have. As its successful ice cream has luxury image and a approachable brand personality, Ben & Jerry’s frozen yogurt should focus on those loyal consumers who are in middle age and most of them have a family with little kids and keep the same brand personality and image.
Description of Target Audience
The target audience of Ben & Jerry’s frozen yogurt are the young mothers. Those young mothers are 25-34 years old, have middle family size and often have children around 5-9 years old. They are usually the gatekeepers who make the decision in supermarket.
13
Therefore, they are highly conscious of healthy food and their financial situation allows them to choose more expensive products for health. The connection is, that the Ben & Jerry’s products are not cheap and their “lighter” editions are no exception On the other hand, those young mothers have to buy food for their family so that they mostly buy various products and flavours in order to satisfy different members in family.

3. New USP
The Lighter Ben & Jerry’s
With the introduction of competing products in the Ice cream market, like the frozen yogurt. B&J’s won’t stand still waiting for the market to be taken by this new category, but taking this as an opportunity and maintain this sector. The brand introduced a number of flavours for the frozen yogurt category in the UK (Products to be added) (Lulu can support) While creating a USP, two key concepts have been kept in mind; First, the “Lightness” factor as far as it is concerned , yogurt is known to be lighter & with less calories than ordinary ice cream, hence leading to conveying an image of “ lighter choice” yet not boring & still enjoyable taste to the consumer. Second, knowing the fact that Ben & jerry's care about the environment and their commercials and packaging build the image of fun, friendliness and nature. This theme will remain as is to maintain the perception towards the brand.
14
With these two concepts we figured out to maintain the “Friendliness, fun and nature” together and add the “Light” and concepts that together will produce its own original or distinctive position into consumer’s mind. As well as “differentiating” the brand in comparison to competitors rivalling in the frozen yogurt market, like Yoomoo as an example.

Evaluation Plan The evaluation of media will be a pre-test & post-test evaluation in the following forms:
1. Pre-test:
The Approach of the evaluation:
Based on the type of the advertisement, the evaluation focus will be on the TV commercial & the test will be on evaluating a storyboard, as the stimulus that will be accompanied with music and narratives. The evaluation needs to meet the objectives of Ben & Jerry’s case, and mainly to raise awareness on the frozen yogurt as a line extension.
The stimulus to be assessed:
The test will be on evaluating a storyboard as the stimulus that will be accompanied with music and narratives. The main reason behind this approach is to evaluate the whole concept of the commercial content to help in fine-tuning the quality of the commercial.
Research Methodology:
The methodology will be carried out using focus groups to get their perception & reaction towards the advertisement and get a more accurate feedback from respondents. Another reason supporting this qualitative approach in the research, because of the amount of emotions of the advertisement will carry. It is the perfect fit between the focus group (To express their response and behavior towards the advertisement) and the emotional element in the advertisement.
2. Post-testing In addition to pre-testing, also post-testing will be applied:
Starch readership service
In order to measure the effectiveness of our Magazines & Newspaper ads, the ‘Starch readership’ techniques will take place. As one of our objectives is to build awareness, this
19
technique helps in measuring the message recall out of the advertisement placed on publications.
3. ROI
PITA / Spend = ROI Population: 673,920 (female, 25-34, ABC1, with family) Incidence: 4% Time: 10 times (from March 2014 to February 2015) Amount: £ 4.49
Return: £ 1,210,360.32
Budget: £ 1,000,000.00
Expected ROI: 1.21
The low return on investment is expected because Ben & Jerry's would be considered a new entrant into this market and with only limited flavours available hence influencing the frequency of times purchased. With the fierce competition it is highly unlikely that purchases would be made too frequently. However as Ben & Jerry’s invests in the availability of more frozen yoghurt flavours, the frequency in purchase is most likely to increase and the ROI is expected to increase with time.
Conclusions
To conclude, it is safe to say that with the appropriate investments and memorable creative, the objectives in this report are well achievable and beneficial for Ben & Jerry’s towards maintaining a lead in the market.
