Executive Summary
Enervon is a multivitamins brand in the Philippines designed to increase energy and strengthen
the immune system.
From a growth rate of 21% between the years 2001 and 2003, the brands tablet sales
decreased by -7% in 2004 and -5% in 2005. Its performance against the vitamin market was
also gradually decreasing, with +16% in 2004 and - 5% in 2005. However, in 2006 Enervon
found itself in a breakthrough. The brand's execution pivoted by more than 540 degrees from
2005. The Enervon Happy Campaign was launched in that year, definitively shaking the
market and the consumers alike.
The Enervon Happy Campaign was targeted at males and females, aged 27-40 years old in
the broad C and D markets, composed of people that take vitamins occasionally; whenever they
engage in strenuous physical activities or show signs and symptoms of cold. They were chosen
because of their predisposition to the brands offered proposition.
The campaign was executed based on the insight that sustained energy enables you to
accomplish more things, therefore giving you a sense of fulfillment, purpose and self-worth.
Pairing this insight with Enervon and its essence would lead to the mentality that you can do
more and be happy in the process. The objective was to get consumers to embrace the brand
idea Mas Energy = Mas Happy. This was done by presenting a solid argument on the product
and using known personalities as endorsers who would exemplify the brand idea. Along with
these are engaging activations infused with a sense of drama; generating talk values in TV
commercials.
From this, Enervon garnered Php. 740.9 million by 2006 in a category that annually declines at
an average of 6%. Compared to the direct sales of the same period from the previous year,
there was a marked +33% increase, which eventually led to the brand outgrowing its
competitors. The success of the Enervon Happy Campaign was solidified after it reaped the
top recognition in Unilabs Rave Awards 2006 for the best creative and best campaign.
The credits for the successful results of this campaign belong to the deliberately laid-out and
perceptive marketing and communication plans that surpassed traditional category practices. It
offered a completely novel and refreshing take on a category which had a rather low consumer
involvement.

[1]Business Objective
Enervons lead in the Market has been steadily declining for the past two years; To make any
significant dent in a market with low consumer involvement, with the brands apparent trend of
decline in its sales, the following goals were raised

to create a personal and emotional connection with its consumers that revolves around the
original marketing message that Enervon= Energy and that Enervon is the better choice among
its competitors. Forming that connection with the consumers will negate prevent any further loss
of consumers while creating an opportunity to gain more.
