Brand Management
BRAND INTRODUCTION
Tang is the global leader in powdered soft drink portfolio and provides a
nutritious, real fruit-flavored drink at an affordable price. On a global level
Tang has gained great popularity in Latin America and emerging markets in
Central and Eastern Europe and Asia.
Brand Positioning
Globally, Tang has positioned itself as a nutritious and convenient drink that
provides the entire family great tasting refreshment.
Brand Portfolio
The following schematic gives a complete overview of the existing portfolio at Tang:
Brand Management
Brand Management
Also it was proved that Tang is the only drink in the market that has truly
captured the taste of orange. Hence, the association of customers with the
Orange flavor is very strong. The consumer perception map developed via
focus group at the time of audit as shown below highlights that people
associate tang with orange at a very high level. Thus, the Brand hasn't been
successful in creating and maintaining the same level of strong association
for its other flavors in the minds of the consumers.
Brand Management
Our second hypothesis revealed that the line extension of Tang into a Rose
variant hasn't been successful either in terms of trial or adoption by the
target market. from our sample survey we determined that 50% of the target
market either isn't aware of the Rose variant or doesnt like its taste.
Other findings of the survey included that Tang is used by house wives for
numerous occasions, especially for serving to guests, since they have trust in
its quality. However the usage at occasions like picnics and parties has been
very limited as can be seen from the graph shown below:
Brand Management
Brand Management
The existing users of tang includes the entire family, however the users
are not much loyal to the brand. As was seen during the brand audit,
consumers did not look out much for the brand if it was not available
and easily switched to some other brand that was available. Thus we
need to increase the usage of the existing customers to get a loyal
following.
2. Increase usage from lighter users
Another major observation made during the brand audit was the fact
that hardly 12% of the people preferred consuming it on occasions like
parties or picnics. Thus trial needs to be generated among these light
users of the brand who consider it mainly to be a product to be
consumed on occasions like ramadan.
3. Increase trial among non users
An important way to increase the share of the pie is to increase the pie
itself. Thus Tang needs to focus on strategies to bring the non users of
the brand or the powdered beverage category into the consumer
segment. This can e done by generating trial among them at various
touch points like schools, summer camps, shopping malls etc.
ADVERTISING OBJECTIVES:
The above marketing objectives can thus be translated into the following
advertising objectives:
1. Increase awareness about variants among target market
According to the survey results, Tang has a very strong association with
Orange. There is very little awareness about the other variants of Tang
such as Tang Pineapple, Tang Mango, Tang Rose and Tang Lemon &
Pepper. Therefore, there is a need to increase awareness of these
variants among the market.
2. Generate response
Another advertising objective is bring Tang into the consideration set of
potential Target Audience and generate trials from this segment. The
focus would be to generate response from the potential customers who
are currently using other powdered beverages as well as move the
7
Brand Management
light users to medium users and medium users to heavy users through
identifying newer ways and occasions on which Tang could be used.
3. Change perception to increase WoM about variants other than
orange
Advertising would play a critical role in changing the perceptions of
consumers about the other variants of Tang. The objective is to make
the brand stand for something more than orange.
Light Users
these are the people who do not consume the brand of a regular basis and
it is usually consumed in picnics and parties. Thus we need to increase
promotion to become a part of their evoked set
Heavy Users
another part of the target who will be focused on via the activations
includes those who currently are heavy users of the brand so we need to
further enhance our reach to them and convert them into the loyalists of
the brand. So this would include both the kids who use their pester power
to influence their mothers or units who make the purchasing decision at
the household unit level.
Brand Management
Scope of Activation
The geographic scope of the activation varies across the region for both ATL and
BTL activities:
Activation Tactics
The recommended marketing activities can be categorized into three broad
categories. They are ATL (Above the line), BTL (Below the line) and
Trade (In-store) marketing. They can be further categorized into five ways.
They are as follows:
ATL:
1. Main Stream Advertising TVCs
2. Print
Trade:
3. Point of Sales drives
4. Out-of-Home
BTL:
5. Events (competitions, summer camps and parties, canopy activity etc)
Each of these categories are discussed below:
Brand Management
ATL Initiatives
TVCs:
Brand equity for Tang can be maintained by constant recall on mainstream
television. Tang can air its TVC in the 2 nd & 3rd quarter of the year to ensure
brand loyalty and maintain remembrance. The recent tagline for Tang is
Banao, Pio aur ker Dikhao - Bachay asani say banayain aur kuch ker
dikhayain has been very helpful in reinforcing the idea that Tang is easy to
make and convenient for the consumers. The same tagline can be used for
the TVC, and through this slogan, can focus on the simple concept of Tang
being an easy to make drink even for kids. This is to do away with the stigma
of only elders knowing the perfect mix of powder for a glass of juice.
However variants other than Orange also need to be highlighted in the TVCs.
Hence, the Banao Piyo Kar Dikhao ad should be made for other variants
also. Further, the ad campaign for the brand should now focus on Health
Secrets and Real Fruit Factor. A sample storyboard for a Tang Health
Secrets TVC is attached in Appendix. The concept of the TVC is to promote
Tang as a healthy drink, which is used to get the taste of Real Fruits in your
powdered beverage drinks.
TVC for Ramadan:
Tang needs to come up with special TVC for Ramadan. Ramadan is actually a
month of blessing for beverage makers in Pakistan as sales for their products
tend to skyrocket. Beverages are particularly important in this month
because most people break the fast with a sweet fruit drink to raise energy
levels.
Obviously, manufacturers take advantage of the possibility of increased sales
in the month and plan marketing activities accordingly. Companies come up
with special offers and catchy advertisements to maintain hold over the
10
Brand Management
Brand Management
consumers while they are indulged in their daily life routines. As was
mentioned in our recommendations, Tang should consider a wide variety of
possible marketing communications including billboards in order to enhance
brand recall so that consumers form stronger brand links to the product
category. Therefore, Tang can make use of very attractive 3D Billboard ads.
The billboard ad has the power of triggering the feeling of temptation of
having a refreshing drink especially in summers. The billboard ads are full of
creativity and out of box idea of marketing and are definitely very impactful
in attracting the current user base and influencing trials.
The placement of these billboards has to be carefully planned and should be
made in different locations by keeping in view the idea of reaching maximum
of the target audience in the geographic area under consideration. These
billboard ads are a very successful idea of marketing the product and have
the power of creating a very strong brand image due to multiple factors
which includes the overwhelming feeling that comes by looking at overly
sized 3D product image. Secondly, billboards have the power of having a
very strong brand recall of the product.
Apart from the 3D billboards, Tang can use simple billboards as well for the
marketing of Tang variants. These simple billboards will contain images of
the variants along with the tag line Banao, Pio aur ker Dikhao or Har
pal me rang etc.
RADIO
In July we plan to hold a 5 hours sponsored program on City FM 89 on two
Sundays in the Buzz Break segment. The coverage area of this package
includes the entire network. The radio will promote the variants of tang and a
brief promotion for the BTL activities to increase participation rate for them.

The target from these ATL initiatives is to reach atleast 70% of the target
audience and have a frequency of 4+ for television activations. The
frequency of 4+ has been derived based on the matrix shown above:
13
Brand Management
Since the target market is already aware of the brand we believe that based
on brand awareness we need average frequency especially in terms of new
flavors. The competition in the category is aggressive especially after the
entry of Frutily in the market. The ad campaigns will be promoting new
variants hence we need a high frequency level and since these are short
lived activities we need to ensure high frequency again. Thus combining the
frequencies and adding them to the base level 1, we get a frequency of 4+
Regular campaigns will be run throughout, however morning shows will be used to
promote tang during June and July, during august Iftar clocks giving time watch shall
be run and promotions will be done for eid carnivals and cooking shows focusing on
meals for Kids.
14
Brand Management
BTL Initiatives
Brand Activation
Brand Activation creates a trust between the customers and the brand. This
trust plays an important role in building brand loyalty. Considering the
current situation where a recent player Fruitily has captured 9% market share
within one year, Tang needs to build the connect with its consumers by
interacting with them on a one-to-one level through various activties rather
than using the mass media approach.
Some of the proposed brand activation campaigns are as follows:
Trade Promotions
BTL Activities
Following paragraphs discuss in detail the activations that Tang should
conduct to ensure consumer engagaement on level that will generate trial,
cerate WoM and increase the loyalty of the heavy user segment.
Activity: School Parties
To be conducted On: Last day of schools before summer vacations
(29/30 May)
It has generally been observed that on the last day before the start of
summer vacations, schools like Foundation Public School, Beacon house
School System, City School, Mama Parsi Girls Schools, BVS Parsi High School,
St. Josephs Convent, St. Patricks High School etc arrange parties for the
15
Brand Management
students. This is a great touch point for Tang to reach the potential
influencers of the purchase decision that is children.
The activation that Tang can conduct at this point is that their especially
painted vans will go to schools, where they will serve different Tang flavors to
the students. Furthermore,for primary school students certain cartoon
characters will be present at the vans who will not only serve the kids with
the drinks but also entertain them with their magic shows.
This activity will not only generate a word of mouth among students but also
generate trial among teachers who are the potential targets of the brand.
Tang will also be served to mothers who come to pick up their children from
schools, thus generating trial among the purchasers of the tang. Here all the
flavors of tang will be served.
Activity: Activation at Summer Camps
To be conducted in: June and July
During the months of June and July, summer camps are held by various
hotels and clubs to polish the talents related to painting, music, sports etc of
children. Here lies a potential influencer of the purchase decision i.e.
children. This activity will be mainly conducted in the three metros of
Pakistan namely, Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
The mechanics for this activity will be that administration authorities for
summer camps at places like Royal Rodale, Sheraton, Marriott, PC, Berlitz
will be contacted and the tang activation teams will go to these camps and
serve drinks to children and entertain them through the magic shows done
by activation team members, also tang will host a painting competition for
children over their about their ideas related to the Beat the Heat concept
during the summer and cricket matches for kids.
Also, a promotion campaign will be run whereby kids who would want Tang
teams to visit their summer camps will be asked to send five empty sachets
16
Brand Management
of Tang along with details of their camps. Then the camp administration will
be consulted and accordingly
camps are more than 100, the activation team will make the visit to the site
to conduct different activities.
Activity: Tang Lounge
To be Conducted in: August (During last 15 days of Ramadan)
Under this activation plan Tang will create an atmosphere called The Tang
Lounge. These lounges will be setup in major malls in the city like Park
Towers, Dolmen Mall in Karachi, Seventh Avenue and Safari mall in
Islamabad- Bahria Town, Mall of Lahore, Liberty Lahore. This activity will be
held during Ramadan and the lounges will serve Tang with iftar, and during
peak shopping hours.
The theme for the lounge will be such that all variants of tang will be
promoted. There will be different corners decorated according to theme like
Orange, Pineapple, Mango, etc. Tang Mango corner will have the umbrellas,
chairs, and tables painted yellow. Similarly the sales people be adorned in a
yellow shirt. Similarly, the theme for Tang Orange corner will have everything
in orange color.
Activity: Invite Based Eid Carnival
To be Conducted On: Third Day of Eid
Invite based Eid Carnival will be conducted on the second and third day of
Eid at Zamzama Park Karachi, F-9 Park Islamabad & Gadaffi Stadium Lahore.
Promotion will be run during Ramadan in Print Media whereby kids will be
asked to send 3 empty sachets of Tang- all of different flavors to selected
retailers in return for a ticket valid for entry of 2 people. The selected
retailers would be the same where the in-store brand activation will be
carried out:
1 Karachi - EBCO, Aghas & Naheed
17
Brand Management
The target that has been set up for these below the line activations is
reaching atleat 100+ touch points to generate trial, where 1 touch point
represents 1 household unit. However for the eid carnival the target will be
atleast 700+ touch points.

Media Rates
Since Tang caters to SEC A and B, our selection of a medium of advertising
will be only those which cater to that segment only. Under the ATL banner we
will advertise on television, radio and newspapers only on those which cater
to SEC A and B.
1. Electronic Media - Television
This would include advertising on a 60 second slot on Geo TV, Express News,
HBO, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network. We plan to advertise on all prime
time slots on different channels owing to the fact that every channel has a
different prime time. In general prime times starts from 7 pm and vary till
about 10pm to 11pm. The following are the Prime Time rates for different
channels:

11pm 12pm Rs
70,000
11 pm Rs 25, 000
8pm 10pm Rs
30,000
If we advertise on all channels in the same time slots, television media can
cost a minimum of Rs 247,000 for the 7pm timeslot to a Rs 298,000 for the
10pm timeslot. Prime time for news channels varies with respect to the
programmes and hosts who have shows at that time.
Apart from news channels which target the decision- making consumers,
Tang should also target the kids through Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
However, the dynamics of this television segment is different as they charge
rates as per the cartoon programme aired in that time. For example, Cartoon
Network has 2 Prime time slots:
Brand Management
The rates used for radio advertising are based on a 5 - 10 second slot. the 30
second ads are cut down into 10 second ads for radio transmission. The most
expensive radio station is FM 89. Every station has three prime times:
On average, rates for this are Rs 15,000 per 30 second advertising. for a 10
second advertisement, the rate will be divided by 3.
3. Print Media
Because Tang is a consumable product, colour has a natural appeal while
advertising. Therefore, the ads published should be coloured. Since the
product caters to SEC A and B, they usually read The News and Dawn
Newspaper. The issue with an exact rack rate for these newspapers is that
the rates are individually negotiated with the companies. Some companies
have sponsorships with media channels hence they advertise free of cost.
Therefore approximate figures were provided by Mr. Arsalan Rabbani at
Synergy Advertising for both The News and Dawn Newspapers. The rates
were based on page and full page (Front Page, Front Inside and Back Page)

Blind Tests
A Blind Testing activity was held at the IBA City Campus cafeteria to identify
the associations of Tang with the people. The tests were for:
The results of this exercise were very clear. They first identified which glass
contains Tang. All three participants clearly preferred Tang as their choice of
powdered beverage. Even though, Tang was diluted participants were still
able to correctly guess Tang as it has a high brand equity among the masses
