  • All Ireland Marketing Awards - Integrated Marketing Award (Finalist)

    The Marketing Institute

    Diet Coke is the world's third-largest soft drink, and in Ireland it was experiencing declining penetration among 16-24 year old females. The marketing response was aimed at generating emotional relevance through fashion and glamour. Assisted by Verve Marketing, an integrated "always on" campaign was developed to use international and local assets through 2012, including a partnership with Jean Paul Gaultier. This led to uplifts in frequency of purchase and attitudes towards the Diet Coke brand.

    The Jacob's Biscuit brand set about countering falling sales and market share by focusing on its pillar brands and injecting contemporary relevance into them. As part of this strategy, the company launched the new Elite Chocolate Mikado in April 2011. The brief from the marketing team to New Product Development was to take the established Jacob's Mikado and enrobe it in chocolate. A major distribution and display drive was aimed at the bulls-eye target market of 25-34 females through PR, online and guerrilla sampling. The result was the most successful biscuit launch in 10 years, driving the Elite pillar brand to number one in volume and value in its sector by the end of 2011.
