0.00 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following document is an advertising campaign proposal for Pantene Pro-V

shampoo. We begun by creating a situation analysis. We researched Pantene as a company

by learning of its history, its current products and its geographical distribution. We then

researched the market share positioning of Pantene with its current largest competitors,

including Ogx, Suave, Garnier Fructis, and Tresemme. We found information on the current

users of Pantene and we used this information to decide our target audience. We noticed

that over 25% of Asian women use Pantene, but they have no representation in their

media, so we decided to make diversity a priority in this campaign. Throughout the entirety

of this year-long campaign, we targeted Pantene products to women, aged 35-44 and

researched this audiences demographics, psychographics, and geographics. We looked at

possible environmental factors that could influence, positively or negatively, a company

that Pantene would need to be aware of. We then did an analysis of the strengths,

opportunities, and threats (SWOT) that should be addressed and/or leveraged throughout

the campaign. From doing priority ranking, we came up with six objectives for the

campaign. We had a marketing objective of raising the Pantene Pro-V shampoo market

share. Four advertising objectives were created with the goals of raising Pantene Pro-V

shampoo brand awareness, maintaining shampoo product awareness, increasing diversity

within our campaign advertisements, and increasing Pantene Pro-V social media presence.

Our media objective included increasing Pantene Pro-V share of voice. After creating our

objectives, we came up with a timeline for our campaign. We decided the it would take

place from June 1, 2017 to August 31, 2018. We broke down the timeline to quarters and

decided what would change for each objective in each quarter. We then conducted a Multi-

7
Attribute Model (MAM) analysis to analyze our target audiences attitude and perceptions

of Pantene and its competitors. We created two surveys and used the feedback to help

correctly position the brand and better develop the campaign. The MAM analysis

demonstrated that softness and scent were two of the most important aspects of

shampoo, and two of Pantenes highest rated qualities. We then allocated our budget of

$15,748,547 and distributed it by quarter and media class. We decided on our media

selection and chose to have radio, magazine, ambient, and television advertising for

traditional media. We have mobile and internet advertising for digital media. We then

broke down what our message design was and created creative executions for each media

class. Based on findings from our SWOT, our main messages address diversity and the

many products Pantene offers for many different needs. A media plan was then developed

based on usage of the media vehicles within our target. We chose a pulsing schedule for the

year and created visuals for the reach and frequency of the advertising. We have listed all of

our references in works cited and appendix sections at the end of the document.

1.1 PRODUCT SERVICE

1.1.1 Product History/Description

Pantene Pro-V is a brand of hair care products owned by Procter & Gamble. The

shampoo was created for daily use and is gentle enough for permed or color-treated hair.

The product line was first introduced in Europe in 1945 by Hoffmann-La Roche in

Switzerland. The name was branded based on panthenol as a shampoo ingredient. These

ingredients help with light and clean hair, two characteristics that will be a continual focus

of the Pantene ProV campaign. The demand from European travelers in the United States

drives American retailers to import Pantene from Switzerland in 1960. Fifteen years later,

the packaging was rethought and changed. The golden cap was introduced and became an

iconic look for Pantene products. Even today the gold cap is incorporated into Pantene

products to ensure consumers dont miss the product on the shelf.

In 1983 Pantene expanded their product line while consulting scientist. Healthy hair

and the tagline, The Care and Feeling of Beautiful Hair, became the focus of the company.

Three years later Pantene produced their most famous and memorable campaign. Dont

hate me because Im beautiful. In this year Procter & Gamble expanded Pantenes

distribution on a massive scale, making the hair care technology of Pantene accessible to

women everywhere. Empowering women and rocking beautiful hair has been a continual

trend throughout Pantenes history and, because of its success, should be focused on while

producing further campaigns.

By 2000 Pantene tailored their hair care products to the look you want. With more

than 100 hair care and hairstyling products in the United States alone. In 2006, Pantene

introduced Beautiful Length, a program that encourages women to grow, cut and donate

10
their healthy hair to help women battling cancer. In 2014, Pantene launched new shampoos

and conditioners with clinically tested, anti-oxidant damage-blocking technology (The

History of Pantene, 2014). Pantene now offers an extensive amount of haircare products

and should continue to drive an empowering, clean hair statement to its consumers.

1.1.2 Product Image and Brand Benefits

Procter & Gamble positions Pantene as an affordable alternative to salon brands.

Pantene Shampoo, since 1988, has always structured their slogans around the beauty of

strength. Pantene has also changed their product over the years to match consumers

desired style and taste. Recently, textured hair treatments have become very popular

Pantene Products. Because of this recent influx in texture hair treatment our advertising

markets should focus on these areas. In recent advertisements, the shampoo has focused

on growing technology and scientific expertise that helped create their products.

Pantene Pro-V Shampoo consist of ingredients made to keep hair healthy and

strong. Some of these ingredients include Panthenol, Vitamin B5, Cocamide, and does not

contain wax. The Panthenyl adds moisture to hair, vitamin B5 is beneficial for hair

restoration and preventing hair loss, and cocamide MEA improves cleansing ability because

it makes shampoo easier to spread throughout the hair. Pantene Pro-V Shampoo also

doesnt contain wax that weighs hair down after use (Willet B, 2015). Pantene Pro-V

Shampoo is also very affordable. Prices range from $2.99-$20.49. These low prices include

expert collections offered by Pantene. Not only is it told at an affordable price, but Pantene

Pro-V Shampoo can be found in a variety of stores including Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens,

Rite Aid, and CVS. Easy access, high quality products and scientifically perfected are all

qualities that should be emphasized in future campaigns.

11
1.2 PRODUCT CLASS

1.2.1 Geographical Distribution

Pantene Pro-V shampoo has been available in the United States since 1985, when

Procter & Gamble acquired Richardson-Vicks. Before being available in the U.S., it was only

sold in European countries. Currently, P&G is a global market leader in the hair care sector,

with 20% of their global market share primarily from Pantene Pro-V and Head & Shoulders

(P&G annual report, 2016). Pantene shampoos and conditioners have been pronounced

blind-test winners compared to their main competitors in North America, China, and Japan.

Pantene is a well-known hair care brand all over the world, selling their products in

Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, North America, and Latin America.

1.2.2 Market Share (Top 10 for 2015 - Market Share Reporter)

Brand Dollars (in mil) Percentage

Organix $93.1 4.3%

Suave Professionals $66.4 3.0%

Suave Naturals $59.3 2.7%

Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal $41.6 1.9%

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine $38.2 1.7%

Tresemme Moisture Rich $36.5 1.7%

Clairol Herbal Essences Hill Hydration $31.3 1.4%

Old Spice $29.1 1.3%

Pantene Pro-V Repair and Protect $27.9 1.3%

All other brands (combined) $1,763.8 80.7%

12
Pantene Pro-V has several product categories that helps in the expansion of their

market share by targeting different market sections with individually tailored products.

1.2.3 Price Effects

Pantene Pro-V products are known for their inexpensive prices, with their lowest

price being approximately $3.00 and their most expensive product being approximately

$20.00. Specifically for Pantene Pro-V shampoos, their price ranges from $3.00 to $6.00.

As Pantene Pro-V Shampoo can be purchased in convenience stores, pharmacies

such as CVS, and other hair care stores, they are not considered a product that is difficult to

gain access to. Their availability and inexpensive prices result in a low involvement

decision by consumers when acquiring a Pantene Pro-V Shampoo. In addition to their low

prices, Pantene Pro-V has occasional packaging which consumers can purchase two

shampoos for the price of one, or 2-in-1 shampoos that include conditioner as well. This is

beneficial to the brand when other inexpensive competing brands drop their prices or

release a new line of shampoo products.

1.2.4 Seasonal Effects

Pantene Pro-V shampoo is popular all year round, with its major peak season being

in the summer between the months of June and August. Pantene Pro-V shampoo seems to

have a higher demand during these months due to the increase of water activities such as

swimming, increased exposure to saltwater and sun rays that dry out hair, and other

factors that influence a consumers hair care. In addition, as using shampoo is more

abundant during this season, consumers are more likely to invest in buying larger or more

quantities of the product.

13
1.3 COMPETITION

The shampoo product category is a vast industry. There are hundreds of brands and

thousands of individual products that specialize in a number of factors including hair type,

function, ingredients, and much more. Because of this, there are four primary competitors

as well as three secondary competitors. Primary competitors were based on each brands

market share in the shampoo product category. Secondary competitors were selected

based on ranking in two categories: usage among the target according to Simmons and our

brand awareness survey. According to Simmons OneView, the main users for all of these

competitors are women aged 18-44.

Organix/Ogx 39.7 / fl oz

Suave 10.50 / fl oz

Garnier Fructis 19.4 / fl oz

Tresemme 15.3 / fl oz

1.3.1.1 - Organix/Ogx

According to Market Share Reporter, Organix held the number 1 spot in 2015 in the

shampoo product category. They owned 4.3 percent of the market share with $93.1 million.

However, Organix was not listed in Simmons OneView.. The brand is commonly known as

OGX, and sells a variety of beauty products including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

They are known for using exotic ingredients in their solutions. Some of these

include Moroccan oil, coconut oil, argan oil, kukui oil, and much more. This is prevalent in

their print advertisements. They use tropical backgrounds and colors, flowers, and vibrant

colors to stand out. They also tend to not use models in their advertisements, and instead

focus on the bottle and ingredients. Their unique bottle shape also makes them stand out

because it is more rounded than most shampoo products. Therefore, it is important to

adjust Pantenes creative advertising accordingly to give Pantene an advantage in standing

out. This can be done by using more diversity in our campaign (see Objective 4).

Ogx does not seem to have a big social media presence, and there is also not a lot of

information about them online. This is a big weakness for people who are researching new

15
shampoo products online. We plan to increase our social media presence during our

campaign, which will put us at an even higher advantage in regard to Ogxs lack of

satisfactory social media presence (see Objective 5).

Their name is seen as a big weakness. In 2011, there was big controversy revolving

around the name Organix considering they contain little or no organic ingredients. They

faced lawsuit and were forced to change their name to OGX. However, they are still

commonly referred to as Organix (Yeomans, 2013). Pantene is a well-established name

with a good reputation, and we plan to reinforce this during our campaign.

In 2015, they launched their Bad Ass Hair Day campaign. Their goal was to

empower women to take a stand against bad hair days, and rename them to bad ass hair

days. They launched a new website, badasshairday.com that displayed hair tutorials. They

also launched a social media campaign with the hashtag #badasshairday. Dana Paris, CEO

of OGX at the time, stated, We just want to know what you love about your hair, so we can

make you love it even more" (OGX Beauty, 2015). Because women-empowerment has been

an overall theme within the past decade, we also plan to maintain and reinforce this theme

by featuring women of all cultures.

According to AdSpender, in 2016, they only advertised in magazines. Their total

budget for shampoo products was $7,905,200 and they had 12.5% of the share of voice.

16
According to previous years, they have used only magazines for advertising since at least

2012.

1.3.1.2 - Suave

Suave was introduced in 1937 as a hair tonic. They are owned by Unilever and are

based in Chicago, IL. They sell a variety of personal care products including hair care,

lotions, body wash, soaps, and deodorant. In 2015, their Suave Professionals shampoo

product owned 3.0 percent of the market at 66.4 million. Theyre Suave Naturals shampoo

product owned 2.7 percent of the market at 59.3 million (Market Share Reporter). Suave

was also recalled 22% of the time in our brand awareness survey (see MAM analysis),

which was our second highest percentage. Suave scored an index number of 101 within our

target audience in Simmons OneView. Out of all of our primary and secondary competitors,

Suave seems to be the cheapest per fluid ounce (Table 1.3B).

Suave is known as being a very cheap and an easily accessible product. A consumer

can find this product in any drugstore or most stores that sells shampoo. This can be seen

as a strength and a weakness depending on the particular consumers needs. Some may

perceive it as too cheap, and therefore less quality. However, in 2006, they repositioned

their brand to be less of a value and more of a quality product by creating an emotional

appeal among mothers who struggle to maintain their beauty when becoming a mom (Neff,

2006). Pantene is also regarded as on the cheaper side, however, Pantene is more

expensive in relation to Suave and its other main competitors. Since our MAM analysis

indicated that our target group is willing to spend more to get better quality, we aim to

position ourselves as a quality product that is worth the money, however it is more

affordable than some of the more professional brands.

17
According to AdSpender, they spent a total of $32,175,600 on advertising in 2016.

They held 50.8% of the share of voice.

1.3.1.3 - Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine

Garnier Fructis is owned by LOreal, one of the top beauty brands in the world.

According to Market Share Reporter, Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine owned 1.7 percent of

the shampoo market at $38.2 million in 2015. Garnier Fructis scored an index number of

127 within our target audience in Simmons OneView.

They are owned by LOreal, one of the top beauty brands in the world. By being

associated with LOreal, they have a huge advantage in the brand-saturated market.

However, we plan to strategically combat this by attempting to raise brand awareness for

Pantene throughout our campaign.

Much of their advertising focuses on their anti-frizz characteristic. Many of their

commercials feature women at the beach with shiny and under-control hair despite the hot

climate. This is what most of their campaigns focus on to attract women who need to fulfill

their need of anti-frizzy hair. However, we plan to show our target group the overall high-

quality of Pantene and its ability to fulfill all of their hair needs.

18
According to AdSpender, they spent a total of $4,941,700 on advertising in 2016.

They mainly focused on television. They held 7.8% of the share of voice.

1.3.1.4 - Tresemme

Tresemme was introduced in 1947 and was originally marketed to professional

salons. It was originally owned by Godefroy Manufacturing Company, but it was bought by

Unilever in 2010. According to Market Share Reporter, Tresemme Moisture Rich owned 1.7

percent of the market share at $36.5 million in 2015. Tresemme was also recalled 20% of

the time in our brand awareness survey (see MAM analysis), this was our third highest

percentage. Tresemme scored an index number of 130 within our target audience in

Simmons OneView.

Because of Tresemmes original purpose toward professional hair salons, they have

a reputation as being high quality. They use a sleek design to maintain their professional

look. However, Pantene is on average more expensive than Tresemme. We plan to position

Pantene as a high quality product that is worth the extra price to show women they are

worth it.

19
According to AdSpender, they spent a total of $3,100,600 in advertising dollars in

2016. Most of their budget was geared toward magazines, at $2,901,700 of the budget.

They held 4.9% of the share of voice.

1.3.2 Secondary Competitors

Pricing - Secondary Competitors (Table 1.3C)

Brand/Product Average Price per Fluid Ounce (According to Wal-Mart Pricing)

Pantene 44.30 / fl oz

Redken 62.9 / fl oz

Paul Mitchell 91.6 / fl oz

Herbal Essences 17.7 / fl oz


1.3.2.1 Redken

Redken was founded in 1960 and is owned by the LOreal Group. Redken is

considered our top competitor in terms of Simmons OneView usage among our target.

Redken scored an index number of 223 versus Pantene ProVs index number of 145.

Redken sells a variety of hair care products including shampoo, hair color, mousses, and

20
other hair styling products. Redkens shampoo products show to be slightly more

expensive than Pantene (Table 1.3C).

In 2014, Redken made Leandra Lea T Cerezo the face of their product. She became

the first openly transgender model to be the face of a beauty brand or product. This

campaign proved to be a huge advantage for Redken, as many people showed support. This

campaign focused on individuality and not being afraid to be who you are (Redken

Announces Lea T, 2014). During our campaign, we plan to increase diversity. Therefore, we

will show our target that Pantene is well-suited and accepting of all hair types.

No budget was available in AdSpender for 2016.

1.3.2.2 Paul Mitchell

Paul Mitchell was founded by Paul DeJoria and Paul Mitchell in 1980. Unlike most of

our competitors, Paul Mitchell is mostly known for their styling tools such as hair

straighteners, curling irons, blow dryers, etc. Paul Mitchell scored and index number of 171

verses Pantene ProVs 145 within the target (Simmons OneView). Out of all of the

secondary and primary competitors, Paul Mitchell is the most expensive per fluid ounce

(Table 1.3C). We plan to show our target that Pantene is a cheaper alternative to

professional brands such as Paul Mitchell. However, we plan to maintain the high-quality

aspect of Pantene shampoo.

According to AdSpender, they spent a total of $2,980,800 on advertising in 2016.

About $2,832,200 of this advertising went to magazines.

1.3.2.3 Herbal Essences

Herbal Essences was founded in 1972 and it is owned by Clairol. Herbal Essences

scored an index number of 146 compared to Pantenes 145 within the target (Simmons).

21
Herbal Essences was also recalled 18 percent of the time in our brand awareness survey

(see MAM survey), which was our third highest percentage. Above Herbal Essences was

Tresemme (20% awareness), Suave (22% awareness), and Pantene (28% awareness) was

number one. Out of our secondary competitors, Herbal Essences seems to be the cheapest

per fluid ounce (Table 1.3C). Because Herbal Essences is substantially more cheap than

Pantene, we will reinforce that cheaper is not necessarily better when it comes to taking

care of hair. Most women care about the quality of their hair and shampoo products

according to our MAM survey. Therefore, Pantene is in the perfect spot to be the best

alternative for women looking for a product in the middle.

According to AdSpender, Herbal Essences spent a total of $21,113,300 on

advertising for their shampoo products in 2016. About $12,495,800 went to magazines.

Summary and Strategic Implications

A recurring theme that we have learned in our research of our competitors is that

many of them position themselves as an affordable product (Suave, Herbal Essences,

Garnier Fructis). However, as we learned in our MAM analysis that our target group is

willing to spend more for better quality. Since Pantene is more expensive than most of the

competitors, we plan to position Pantene as a high quality product that is worth the money.

However, two of our competitors are more expensive (Redken and Paul Mitchell).

Therefore, not only do we plan on showing our target group that Pantene can give you

professional results, we plan to show that Pantene is also more affordable than the more

expensive and professional brands. Pantene is the product for people looking for the

middle ground. We plan to do this within our brand awareness objective.

22
We have also established that the market is reinforcing diversity and women

empowerment. We plan the incorporate both of these themes throughout our campaign by

our increasing diversity objective as well as our product awareness objective (see

objectives).

1.4 CONSUMER TARGET PROFILES

1.4.1. Current Users

A study conducted by Statistica (2016) showed that 299.63 million Americans use

shampoo, and over 36.4 million American use Pantene ProV last year. Out of those 36

million Americans, Pantenes current focus is on their target audience is women age 18-34,

who are interested in fashion and beauty, and who want healthy hair (Marketing91, 2016).

These women tend to be low income, with the highest form of education being high school,

which might be due to their young age (Info Scout, 2016). They tend to live in the West, and

buy Pantene from drug stores, mostly in the afternoon. Most of their media advertisements

display a single person, predominantly a white woman, waving her hair around and

showing how Pantene makes it healthy. There are few commercials and ads containing

women of color, and that is almost always associated with their textured hair line.

1.4.2. Strategic creation of new target audience

Simmons OneView was used to create Pantenes new target audience. We ran a

cross tab of Pantene users based on age and gender. We discovered that women age 35 to

44 were the highest users of the product. This age and gender group are not the only

people who use shampoo, so two additional groups were added. The first group would be

all women age 35 to 44, and the second would be all Pantene users. To create a well-

rounded target audience, we focused on characteristics that were displayed by all of these

23
groups. Because we want to focus on women specifically, we placed more importance on

the characteristics that they displayed versus general users, as seen in figure 1.4.2..A. and

1.4.2.B. Ultimately, the product will be directed at women age 35-44, but input will come

from all three categories and weighted respectively.

1.4.3. Target Audience Demographics

Our target audience will be women aged 35-44. Our target groups ethnicity is

predominantly Asian, followed by Hispanic, White, then Black. These women are likely to

be conservative, but do not place a lot of weight on their political views. In addition to

being homemakers, these women have college and graduate school degrees. Many work in

the health, education, or social service field. Their individual income varies between 50-

70K, but many make well over 100K. The average household income is somewhere

between 150 and 250k per year. These women are married and have large family. The 35-

44 year old women group has around 2-3 children, while general Pantene users have

reported that they have over 5 children.

1.4.4. Target Audience Psychographics

These women are heavily invested in their children and family, and devote almost

all of their time and energy to them (Simmons OneView, 2013). Their children have a large

impact on the brands that their mothers purchase. The target group believes that eco-

friendly products are of higher quality than regular products. Our target audience does not

necessarily care if beauty products are natural or organic, as long as they are eco-friendly.

Our target audience is brand loyal shoppers, and they liked to be informed of the product.

Although they are interested in getting the best bang for their buck and usually shop at

stores close to them, finding the right brand is still very important to them.

1.4.5. Target Audience Geographics

Geographically, the heaviest users are women who live in the western and

midwestern regions of the United States. Currently, the heaviest Pantene using states

include North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, and Wyoming. In addition to these

25
areas, we would like to expand the brand and focus on regions that have a lot of women in

our target age groups, but do not currently use Pantene Pro-V as their main brand. The

states that will be focused on are Delaware, Kentucky, South Carolina, New York, Texas,

Nevada, and Georgia. The majority of the target audience lives in a house within the

suburbs.

1.4.6. Additional Considerations

Forming the target audience created some limitations. The first would be that

Simmons OneView was the primary source of creating the target audience. It has limited

information about general shampoo and Pantene users, which could have skewed some of

the data. Our biggest issue is that we are unaware of when the Simmons OneView data was

collected. Therefore, we cannot see if Pantene Pro-Vs latest campaign influenced this data,

be certain that its representative of the current target audience, or see the direct impact of

our campaign on the people surveyed .

To combat these issues, we incorporated data from many other sources and

researched the information from every angle possible. Our data represents a cohesive and

representation of the knowledge that is out there, so we are certain that this is the best

target audience that we could provide.

1.5 ENVIRONMENT

There are numerous environmental factors that can influence one business or brand that

the business itself has no control over. They can be social, economic, political, technological or

natural factors. Companies that do business internationally, like Pantene, should look at these

factors in each country.

26
1.5.1 Social/Cultural Factors

Social factors have to do with societal trends around our world, and they are constantly

changing. Cultural factors take into account the way a group of people live, and it also evolves.

For instance, a social effect can be the actions of the celebrities who have endorsed the brand.

Selena Gomez is a current example. Her actions can either negatively or positively affect the

publics opinion of the brand Pantene, depending on what her actions are. To prevent this,

Pantene needs to choose wisely when choosing a celebrity endorser. Another social effect would

be current consumer trends. Social trends can affect brand sales. For example, a recent trend is to

create your own (or DIY) haircare products. This would negatively affect potentially all haircare

brands if people are attempting to make their own shampoo with store-bought ingredients.

1.5.2 Economic Factors

Economic changes can also have an impact on a brand. Economy is all about balance. If

the economy is not going well, it could affect Pantene. The company may see a drop in

purchasing because people may cut down and use products more sparingly. However, an

advantage with Pantene is that it already is relatively inexpensive, and some consumers that may

normally buy more expensive products could move towards Pantenes price range in a time of a

struggling economic. On the other hand, if the economy is going well, consumers may feel they

have the ability to splurge on products or brands that are more expensive than Pantene and the

company could see a drop in sales. If something were to impact the supply or demand of Pantene

products, it could drastically affect the company. Pantene needs to be constantly monitoring

economic developments.

27
1.5.3 Legal Factors

The brand could also be affected by politics and governmental policies. For example,

new laws could be enforced for hair care/beauty brands, which means there could be restrictions

on the specific ingredients in Pantene products. This could mean new restrictions on importing

certain goods. Also, Pantene still does some animal testing, and its possible for laws to change

and for this to become illegal to do. The company would have to modify some of their current

practices by figuring out an alternate form of testing and rework their budget to do so. Pantene

should have a plan for things that could majorly impact the company legally.

1.5.4 Technological and Natural Factors

Technology is constantly changing in the fast-paced nature of the world today.

Companies cannot control what is changing, how it is changing, or what is being used. It can

have a significant impact on a company. Pantene needs to stay connected and up-to-date. Natural

forces could even be an outside factor that influences a brand. For example, weather and natural

disaster could affect the physical production process of a product. Multiple factors in the

environment can positively or negatively influence a brand.

2.0 SWOT ANALYSIS

2.1 SWOT Introduction

The SWOT is a research tool that gathers and organizes information about a

product, product category, its competitors, the market, and any other relevant information.

It stands for strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats. In order to organize the

information, each piece of information is put into one of the four categories. Each definition

of strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat must be determined before organizing the

information. In general, a strength is a positive internal influence, a weakness is a negative

internal influence, an opportunity is a positive external influence, and a threat is a negative

external influence. Internal influences mean that the issues are controlled by Pantene,

while external influences cannot be controlled by Pantene, but still must be considered in

the campaign.

The SWOT is used to determine critical issues and sources that should be addressed

and/or leveraged in the campaign.

2.3 Priority Ranking Introduction

After completion of the S.W.O.T. analysis chart, it is important to prioritize the

companys strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to determine which pieces of

information are important in developing campaign objectives for Pantene. Strengths,

weaknesses, opportunities and threats were separated and each attribute was ranked on a

scale of 1 (low) to 3 (high) for four different categories. The categories included damage,

benefit, cost, and time sensitivity.

Damage- damage to the client if a weakness or threat is not addressed

Benefit- benefit to the client if a strength/opportunity is leveraged

Cost- the cost of money, resources and risk for the issue to be addressed or leveraged

Time-Sensitive- time the company has to achieve such attributes if they were to be

addressed or leveraged in the campaign.

31
Each issue was ranked on each of these variables. A total sum of 7 or higher

indicates that the issue should be addressed in the campaign. Below, we have displayed

which issues were deemed as critical.

2.4 Strengths

Strengths are defined as: Any quality about the brand that helps distinguish us

from competitors, give us an advantage within the market, and benefits the brand in any

manner. Qualities that connect us to our target audience.

2.4.A. Ethnic Diversity in Media

Priyanka Chopra and Jillian Hervey are faces of Pantene that support the line for

textured hair. Priyanka represents Indian women, while Jillian represents Black women.

During our campaign, it is important to emphasize that Pantene has a type of shampoo for

every ethnicity and every hair type. Having these spokeswoman allows women of Indian or

African ethnicity to identify with our product. This strength aligns with objective four

because we will be expanding ethnic diversity throughout the campaign.

2.5 Weaknesses

Weaknesses are defined as: Any quality or perceived quality about the brand that

displays us in an unfavorable light or gives the competitors an advantage. Qualities that

our current consumers do not agree with.

2.5.A. Magazine Saturation

Women ages 35-44 are heavy magazine subscribers. Many hair care products,

including Pantenes competitors, also advertise their products in magazines. Because there

33
is so much saturation it hard for Pantene to stand out among the variety of other brands.

The damage to Pantene includes less brand awareness. The cost of addressing the attribute

of saturation would be reasonable and it can be done it a timely fashion. We plan to address

this critical issue within our media objectives by outsourcing to other media outlets that

correspond with usage from our target group.

2.6 Opportunities

Opportunities are defined as: A quality that Pantene currently or potentially has

that can benefit our brand. Any outside source that gives us a competitive advantage in the

market.

2.6.A. Asian Representation

It is imperative that Asian Women are included in Pantene advertisements.

Although Asian-Americans only make up 9.6% of Pantene users, 24.6% of all Asian-

Americans use Pantene Pro-V as their primary shampoo (Simmons OneView, 2013).

Currently, Asian women have 0 representation in Pantene ads, and they are still heavy

users. If they are represented in our media, they will be even more likely to identify with

our brand. This opportunity aligns with objective four because we are using this

information to gear more of our advertisements towards Asian women.

2.6.B Growing Social Media Usage

That being said, social media has also grown significantly popular as well. It

connects people and makes the world feel more cohesive. A great deal of sharing of beauty

trends and tips by consumers happens through various social media platforms. In 2018, it

is estimated that there will be around 2.67 billion social media users around the globe, up

from 1.91 billion in 2014 (Statista). This creates conversation about unlimited subjects,

34
including the beauty industry. This aligns with objective 5 because we will increase our

social media presence to keep up with this growing market.

2.7 Threats

Threats are defined as: A favorable quality that is applied for the competition and

does not apply to our brand. A quality within the environment that does not show our

brand in a favorable light, or would have a negative consequence for our brand or product

category.

2.7.A. Many people are using shampoo less and less

Recent social trends have shown that people are using shampoo products less and

less. Most beauty blogs advocate for going days without washing hair to sustain natural oils

in the hair. This is a threat for our product category because it would mean that consumers

are using less of shampoo in general, which would reflect in Pantenes overall usage trends.

These trends also steer consumers to look for more organic shampoo products.

Many consumers opt to making homemade shampoo or look for more expensive brands

that use all organic ingredients. This is seen as a threat to Pantene because our brand does

not use all organic ingredients, and this fact may turn away some consumers who decide to

follow these trends.

This issues aligns with objective 3 because we plan to show our target group the

importance of using shampoo products with an emphasis on Pantene. To do this, we will

emphasize Pantenes role in women empowerment and how a high-quality shampoo is

worth it.

36
3.0 OBJECTIVES

3.1 Marketing Objectives

Objective 1 - Raise Pantene Pro-V shampoo market share in the shampoo product category

of 3.2% (1.3% for Repair and Protect and 1.9% for Moisture Renewal) to 4.5% of the

market share for users of shampoo during the campaign timeline of June 1, 2017 to May 31,

2018.

Implementation: Currently, Suave is above Pantene in terms of market share.

Pantene Pro-V will be positioned above Suave by communicating that although our product

is more expensive, it is higher quality and will do its job in moisturizing the consumers

hair how they want. Our MAM analysis showed that our target is willing to spend more to

get better quality, so we will use this positioning strategy throughout our campaign. By

positioning Pantene as a solution to fulfill a need, we will change the behavior of consumers

to buy our brand over Suave.

3.2 Advertising Objectives

Objective 2 - Raise Pantene Pro-V shampoo brand awareness from 28% to 40% for females

aged 35 to 44 during the campaign timeframe of June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018.

Implementation: Although Pantene may seem like a well-known brand for some,

there are so many shampoo brands out there that Pantene gets buried in the mix.

Therefore, many consumers may not think of our brand when deciding what shampoo

product to purchase. Raising brand awareness ensures that Pantene is at the top of the

target audience's mind when deciding on shampoo. To increase brand awareness within

our target, we will increase advertising in media outlets that our target uses most. This will

be outlined in our media plan.

37

Objective 3 - Maintain shampoo product awareness at 94% and emphasize shampoo

importance with an emphasis on Pantene Pro-V products for women aged 35 to 44 during

the campaign timeline of June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018.

Implementation: It has become a trend for consumers to use shampoo less and less.

However, the product awareness percentage is still relatively high. Therefore, we aim to

maintain this percentage so that it does not decrease. To do this, we will emphasize the

importance of using Pantene Pro- V shampoo and how it is healthy for the consumers hair.

Objective 4 - Increase diversity within campaign advertisements from 0% to 20% for

Asian-American women aged 35 to 44 during the campaign timeline of June 1, 2017 to May

31, 2018.

Implementation: Currently, there is no Asian spokeswoman for Pantene in the

United States. There are also not any advertisements that show Asian women. Since many

females who are Asian Americans use Pantene, we would like to increase their usage and

show more diversity in our advertisements by having Asian models use our product.

Objective 5 - Increase Pantene Pro-V social media presence to increase followers rate by

25%. Currently, for Facebook, Pantene has 1,500,686 followers. Increasing by 25% would

have an end value of 1,875,857. This objective is aimed at females aged 35 to 44 during the

campaign timeline of June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018.

Implementation: The social media market is growing as technology advances.

Therefore, we want to utilize social media amongst our target to increase the number of

38
clicks on our advertisements within social media, as well as the clicks onto our social media

pages and website. Our target audience is more likely to use Facebook than any other social

media outlet. Therefore, we will focus our advertising there with focuses on various other

social media outlets as well.

3.3 Media Objectives

Objective 6 - Increase Pantene Pro-V Share of Voice 24.1% to 26.1% for media vehicles

used by females aged 35 to 44 during the campaign timeline of June 1, 2017 to May 31,

2018.

Implementation: Since we want to modify the behavior of our consumers, we will

focus on a combination of reach and frequency. However, we will emphasize reach to

communicate to new consumers within our target to switch their preference for one brand

to Pantene Pro-V.

4.0 CAMPAIGN TIMELINE

For our campaign, quarter 1 will take place from June 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017.

Quarter 2 will take place from September 1, 2017 to November 30, 2017. Quarter 3 will

take place from December 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018. Finally, quarter 4 will take place

from March 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018.

41
We are using a combination of successive approximation and equal interval for this

objective. From June 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 we decided to increase our initial 3.2%

market share to 3.8% due to consumers having to finish their current shampoo product

while we begin our campaign. From September 1, 2017 to November 30, 2017 we decided

to make a greater leap from 3.8% to 4.5%. For the last two quarters we decided to maintain

the 4.5% market share to be closer in comparison with our competitors.

If the percentage of market share is not reached for each benchmark, we will

activate our contingency plan. This plan consists of emphasizing reach in the geographical

areas where our target lives the most to potentially increase sales. Our full contingency

budget consists of roughly 10.2% of our budget at a value of $1,610,008.

Successive approximation will be used in order to raise brand awareness from June

1, 2017 to May 31, 2018. Quarter one will be through June to August. The summer months

provide Pantene an opportunity to focus on clean hair after summer activities. After a

strong summer push we decided to gradually increase Pantenes brand awareness. In the

42
second quarter, awareness will be increased 2% and the third and fourth quarter will each

increase brand awareness by 3%.

Our benchmark consists of a brand awareness survey to measure how our brand

awareness is making progress. If we do not reach our goal for a specific quarter, we will

activate the contingency plan. This plan consists of buying additional media spots that our

target uses most to create more awareness of the brand. Our full contingency budget

consists of roughly 10.2% of our budget at a value of $1,610,008.

Our goal is to keep product awareness of Pantene at 94% throughout each quarter

of the year during our timeline. Therefore, we are using the equal interval approach. As we

have discussed throughout the campaign, it is becoming an increasing trend for consumers

to use shampoo less and less. We want to make sure the percentage is maintained and does

not decrease by emphasizing the importance of using our shampoo.

If the product awareness starts to decrease, we will activate our contingency plan.

This consists of buying more media spots in the areas that the awareness is decreasing. In

these spots, we will emphasize the importance of using Pantene products for healthy hair

43
over not using shampoo at all/using shampoo less. Our full contingency budget consists of

roughly 10.2% of our budget at a value of $1,610,008.

We are focusing on increasing ethnic diversity within the Asian American group in a

gradual manner using the successive approximation approach. Increasing 5% by each

quarter makes the sudden increase in ethnic diversity less shocking towards the public and

makes Pantene less vulnerable to criticism for not acting on this issue earlier.

If our benchmark is not met for each quarter, we will continue buying media spots

that showcase diversity in our campaign. Our full contingency budget consists of roughly

10.2% of our budget at a value of $1,610,008.

Our goal to increase social media following will be gradual (successive

hope to get more consumers viewing our ads and company favorably, and therefore hope

to gain more followers on our social media channels, especially Facebook. We feel as

though we can gain about 90,000 followers every quarter by increasing posts and

promotions through social media. We hope this goal also contributes to more consumers

clicking on our advertisements to go to our website and social media accounts.

If our benchmark is not met, our contingency plan consists of creating more social

media posts that are relevant to our target, as well as buying media spots in the social

media channels that our target uses most often. Our full contingency budget consists of

roughly 10.2% of our budget at a value of $1,610,008.

Our goal to increase share of voice will be gradual (successive approximation) and it

will be an effect of the amount of our budget we are putting in each quarter. The biggest

jumps in the percentage take place during the 1st and 4th quarters because this is where

we are spending the most amount of money.

If our goals are not met, we will activate our contingency plan which consists of

putting some of our contingency budget into buying more media channels to get our Share

of Voice to increase to our goal. Our full contingency budget consists of roughly 10.2% of

our budget at a value of $1,610,008.

Our target audiences media use reflects their heavy investment in their children

and families. The television channels that are most watched include Freeform, Animal

Planet, Bravo, Cartoon Network, Discovery Healthy and Fitness, Disney Channel, Disney XD,

5.0 MAM ANALYSIS

The Multi-Attribute Model (MAM) is a message design tool that is used to analyze a

target audiences overall attitude and perception toward a brand and its competitors. The

MAM is analyzed to provide the brand with a positioning direction when developing a

campaign. The MAM is developed in two parts: the attribute survey and the comparison

survey.

The first survey, the attribute survey, is used to determine five key attributes or

characteristics of the product category. It uses open-ended questions to allow the

consumer flexibility when selecting attributes. The five most popular attributes are used in

the second comparison survey

The comparison survey is then distributed. This survey is segmented into three 1 to

10 scales: the belief scale, which measures how well the consumer believes each brand

scores on each of the five attributes; the importance scale, which measures each of the five

attributes on its perceived importance to the consumer when purchasing the product

category; and the iconic scale, which asks the consumer to measure what their best of

breed product would rate on each of the five attributes.

Finally, the mean of each 1 to 10 scale is calculated in the comparison survey, and

the results are communicated to the creative team to determine the main message and

positioning strategies in the overall campaign.

49
5.1 Attribute Search Survey

Method

The first survey was distributed to our target audience, which is females aged 35 to

44. This survey contained four qualitative questions. The first two questions were basic

demographic questions to ensure our target was reached. The third question asked for the

top five characteristics that the respondent looks for when purchasing a shampoo product.

Finally, the fourth question concerned brand awareness asking which brands come to mind

when the consumer thinks of shampoo products. We surveyed 50 females all within our

target age group. The survey can be found in the appendix (Figure 6.2.1).

Results

For the characteristic question, 70% of respondents listed fragrance as an attribute

they consider when purchasing a shampoo product. 56% of respondents listed price as an

attribute they consider. 28% of respondents expressed that they look for a product that

will make their hair feel soft, moisturized, and conditioned. 26% of respondents explained

they look for a product that contains natural or mostly natural ingredients. The fifth

attribute was the brand name. 22% of the respondents expressed they look for a product

that has a good brand reputation. Therefore, our five key attributes are: fragrance, price,

moisturizing for hair, natural ingredients, and reputation of the brand.

When listing the brands that come to mind for respondents when thinking of

shampoo products, Pantene was listed the most amount of times at 28% of respondents.

Suave (one of our primary competitors) had 22% of respondents, Tresemme (another of

our primary competitors) had 20% of respondents, Herbal Essences had 18% of

respondents, and LOreal had 18% of respondents.

50
Although the brands discussed above were our most recalled brands in this survey,

it is important to note how the rest of our primary and secondary competitors scored.

Organix, our top competitor, was listed 0% of the time. Garnier Fructis, another primary

competitor, was listed 12% of the time. Redken, a secondary competitor, was listed 14%

out of respondents. Finally, Paul Mitchell, a secondary competitor, was also listed 14% of

the time.

5.2 Multi-Attribute Survey

Method

When designing our multi-attribute survey, our team retrieved the top 5 attributes

from our first survey for respondents to further consider. We also included our primary

competitors (Organix, Suave, Garnier Fructis, and Tresemme) to be compared with Pantene

Pro-V regarding the five key attributes: fragrance, price, moisturizing for hair, natural

ingredients, and reputation of the brand.

These attributes and brands were based on three scales: belief, importance, and

ideal. Each scale was rated on 1 to 10. For the belief scales, 1 indicated very poorly and 10

indicated very well. For the importance scale, 1 indicated not important and 10

indicated very important. For the ideal scale, 1 indicated very low while 10 indicated

very high. For each scale, 5 indicated average.

We distributed our survey to 44 consumers within our target audience, which is

females aged 35-44. The survey can be found in the appendix (Figures 6.2.2A-C).

Results

The five key attributes were ranked on their importance to the consumer when

considering buying a shampoo product. According to the importance scale, the

51
characteristic of softening and moisturizing hair was the top key attribute with an average

response of 8.05. This was followed by fragrance, with an average response of 7.34; natural

ingredients, with an average response of 7.18; reputation of the brand, with an average

response of 6.45; and price, with an average response of 5.81.

5.3 Line-by-Line Analysis (Table 5.2A)

A line-by-line analysis is a positioning tool that interprets the results of the MAM in

a visual way. This chart it created after the MAM results are determined, and it takes the

average response from each question. On the left side, it displays the most important

attributes to the target in order according to the importance scale. It also shows how the

brand ranked in relation to its competitors according to the belief scale. Finally, it displays

how the ideal product ranked according to the iconic scale. This tool makes it easy to see

visually how the brand is overall perceived to the target.

IDEAL 8.50 IDEAL 7.86 IDEAL 7.37 IDEAL 8.19 IDEAL 6.21

For the first key attribute, Pantene scored the highest out of the rest of the

competitors with an average score of 7.12. However, Pantene scored lower than the ideal,

which was 8.50. Therefore, it will be important to reinforce the fact that Pantene softens

53
and moisturizes hair to our consumers to get closer to the ideal. This would especially

apply to our Pantene Pro-V Moisture Renewal product, which specializes in this

characteristic.

Pantene also scored the highest in the second key attribute, fragrance. However, it is

important to note that it still scored very close to its other competitors with the exception

of Organix. All of the brands scored significantly less than the ideal, which scored 7.86. This

characteristic might be difficult to communicate with consumers, because fragrance

preferences vary from consumer to consumer. However, it is recommended that the

importance of softening hair over fragrance is communicated.

All of the brands scored relatively low for the natural ingredients attribute despite

the high idealized average score of 7.37. Organix scored the highest, which could be

because of its natural-sounding name. None of these brands contain fully natural

ingredients.

Pantene also scored the highest on brand reputation with an average score of 6.56.

However, Tresemme was closely behind with an average score of 6.21. It is important to

maintain positive brand reputation for the consumer to keep an encouraging image of

Pantene in their mind.

For the price attribute, Suave scored the highest average score of 7.50. This makes

sense, because based on our price analysis, Suave was the cheapest out of all of our primary

and secondary competitors (Table 1.3B). However, the ideal average score was 6.21. This

tells us that consumers are willing to spend more money on a product in order to get better

quality in the other four attributes. Pantene scored higher than the ideal with an average

score of 7.02. However, our price analysis tells us that Pantene is more expensive than all of

54
its competitors with the exception of Paul Mitchell and Redken shampoo. Therefore, it is

important to communicate to consumers that even though it is more expensive, consumers

will maintain that Pantene is higher-quality and worth the money.

6.0 BUDGET ALLOCATIONS

Last year, our budget was $15,248,400. For the June 2017 to May 2018 campaign,

our budget has increased by 3.28%. Therefore, this years full budget is $15,748,547. Our

contingency budget will take up roughly 10.2% of our full budget as a value of $1,610,008

(10 percent of the budget, $1,574,854, plus $35,154 leftover from our media plan).

6.1 Quarterly Budget

Quarter 1: June 1, 2017 August 31, 2017: $3,700,965

Quarter 2: September 1, 2017 November 30, 2017: $2,551,170

Quarter 3: December 1, 2017 February 28, 2018: $3,201,338

Quarter 4: March 1, 2018 May 31, 2018: $4,219,858

Figure 6.0A - Quarterly Budget

As reflected in figure 6.0A, the most amount of money is going in the first and fourth

quarters. These are the quarter which contain the warmer months. We also want to heavy

up in the beginning and end of the campaign for a strong start to get our message out

initially as well as a strong finish to keep our message in our targets mind. We put aside

57
$500,355 for an outdoor ambient advertisement to stay throughout most the campaign

year within our spot markets. This part of the budget is not reflected in the Media Flight

Plan budget allocations, but it is accounted for in our overall budget.

7.0 MEDIA SELECTIONS

7.1 Traditional Media:

7.1.2 Radio Rationale

We will be allocating 17% of our budget to radio advertisements. According to

Simmons OneView, our target audience has a high index in radio usage. Their most popular

times to listen to the radio are Monday-Friday morning drive (6 a.m. to 10 a.m.) and

evening drive (3 p.m. to 7 p.m.). Simmons OneView indicates that our target audience is 22-

53% more likely than the average person to be listening to radio at these times, which is

why we are strategically placing the advertisements there.

7.1.3 Magazine Rationale

We plan to use 20% of our budget for magazine advertisements. According to our

research, our target audience uses this media vehicle regularly. Simmons OneView shows

that our target audience uses the following high-index magazines: Allure (152), American

Way (American Airlines) (176), Brides (208), Family Circle (152), Family Fun (157),

Fitness (161), Glamour (164), Good Housekeeping (152), Health (150), House beautiful

(158), Instyle Magazine (167), Ladies Home Journal (157), Lucky (156), MAD (191),

Midwest Living (170), More (177), Parents (166), Self (150), Seventeen (162), Soap Opera

Digest (186), and Womans Day (152). In addition to high viewership among our target

audience, magazines give another opportunity to display the products and work towards

our objectives of increasing brand and product awareness.

61
7.1.4 Ambient Rationale

We chose to do an ambient component within our campaign because our target

interacts with ambient (surrounding) elements on a high index. For example, using

elevators had an index of 143, taxis had an index of 127, public transportation had an index

of 140, and waiting rooms/waiting areas had an index of 95. Therefore, we can determine

that our target interacts with surrounding elements and would respond to ambient

advertising.

To emphasize reach as much as possible, our ambient advertising will be placed in

our spot markets. These spot markets have a lot of people in our target audience who are

not currently using Pantene products. Our 10 spot markets are:

Atlanta, Georgia

Charleston, South Carolina

Greenville, South Carolina

Greenville, North Carolina

Houston, Texas

Las Vegas, Nevada

Lexington, Kentucky

Louisville, Kentucky

New York, New York

Reno, Nevada

62
7.1.5 Television Rationale

We are allocating 21% of our budget to network television, 5% of our budget to

network cable, and 3% of our budget to national syndication. Last year, Pantene spent the

vast majority of their budget (97.9%) on television advertisements. As it turns out,

television is not the most effective way to reach our target audience. The target audience is

actually 40% less likely to watch television than the average person, which is why we cut

back our television advertising spending by over 50%. The only times that we will be using

television commercials are when our target audience will be most likely to watch TV, which

is early in the morning on weekdays, and prime time on Fridays and Saturdays (Simmons

OneView, 2014).

7.2 Digital Media:

7.2.1 Mobile Rationale

The use of mobile devices is growing at a fast rate. 77% of Americans own a

smartphone as of 2017, which has increased from 35% of Americans in 2011 (Pew

Research Center, 2017). Therefore, our campaign will include placing advertising in the

appropriate mobile apps according to use by our target group. The following apps will be

included in our campaign: HGTV (index of 118), Disney (index of 182), The Bachelor (index

of 188), E! (index of 122), and Nickelodeon (index of 105).

7.2.2 Internet Rationale

As mobile device usage is growing, so is the Internet. Our target uses social media

outlets at high indexes. According to Simmons, Facebook has an index of 140, Twitter has

an index of 142, YouTube has an index of 119, and Pinterest has an index of 259. Since

Pinterest has an overwhelmingly high index, we chose to focus on that social media outlet

63
as the main vehicle that we will display our advertising. By using Pinterest as the main

outlet, we will be able to increase our social media presence on other social networking

sites by providing links to our Facebook page on our Pinterest advertisement. This will

address Objective 5.

64

65
8.0 FINAL MESSAGE DESIGNS

We believe that we have sufficiently communicated our main messages throughout

the creative executions. When creating, we made sure to tie in each of the objectives to

aspects of the executions. Again, our six objectives are: raise the Pantene Pro-V shampoo

market share, raise Pantene Pro-V shampoo brand awareness, maintain shampoo product

awareness, increase diversity within our campaign advertisements, increase Pantene Pro-V

social media presence, and increase Pantene Pro-V share of voice. As far as what we will

say in our executions, we wanted to have the overall tone of ads to be relaxing, inviting, and

clean.

Through the headlines, body copy, and scripts of each ad, we designed our messages

to appeal to our target audience of women, aged 35-44. The mobile advertisements connect

well with the specific mobile apps that contain the television programs most popular to our

target audience, according to our Simmons OneView research. Our main goal when creating

these visuals was that we wanted to convey that Pantene Pro-V Shampoo will work with all

hair types. We wanted the viewers to understand, through words and visuals, that Pantene

works with diverse hair types and will end any struggle of finding a shampoo that the

target audience will love.

We believe the slogan Made for you sums up the biggest point we wanted to get

across to potential customers. Were expecting that the creative executions will increase

diversity within the campaign as well as help reach our other objective goals for Pantene of

raising the market share, brand awareness, product awareness, social media presence, and

increase share of voice.

66

67
9.0 CREATIVE EXECUTIONS

Made for you is Pantenes campaign for the 2017-2018 year. We have created an

advertisement for every media vehicle the we will be utilizing, and five mobile

advertisements that we will use throughout the campaign. Each of the advertisements will

address at least one of our media objectives. The core components of each advertisement

will include diversity, fresh scent, and hair softness. The biggest message we want to send

to our target audience is that Pantene is the best shampoo for them because Pantene offers

a variety of unique shampoos that can accommodate all hair types, and that each shampoo

will make their hair soft and fragrant.

9.1 30 Second Radio Commercial

Scene:

Two women at a coffee shop chatting. There is a gentle murmur of people talking in the

background, plates clattering, etc.

Voice Descriptions:

Woman 1: Asian American Voice Actress

Woman 2: African American Voice Actress

Announcer: Woman, aged mid 30s.

Script:

Line 1: Woman 1: I love your hair. Did you get it done?

Line 2: Woman 2: No, I switched my shampoo product!

Line 3: Woman 1: Ive been thinking of doing that, but everything seems to dry out my hair. Ive

been washing it less and less to keep it more natural.

68
Line 4: Woman 2: I thought about doing that, but once I tried Pantene Pro-V, there is no way I

would give it up. My hair feels so soft and brand new!

Line 5: Woman 1: Really, do you think it would work even on my hair?

Line 6: Woman 2: Of course! Pantene works on all hair types. You can try different Pantene

products until you find the right one for you!

Line 7: Woman 1: Wow, Ill give it a try!

Line 8: Announcer: Any type of hair, any type of need. Weve got you covered. Your old shampoo

isnt made for you. Try Pantene Pro-V. Its made for you.

Radio Commercial Rationale:

For the scene, we chose it to be in a coffee shop because this is a spot that our target

audience frequents. Although the listener may not be able to tell it is in a coffee shop

specifically, we wanted to incorporate background noises that would be familiar to the

listener.

For the voice actors, we wanted two minorities to be featured as the main

characters. This aligns with Objective 4 and addresses increasing diversity in our campaign.

For our announcer, her voice will sound young and in the age group in which we are

targeting.

Line 1: We chose for Woman 1 to ask if Woman 2 got her hair done to imply how

professional it looks. This aligns with Objective 1 which addresses raising market share.

Since Suave is above Pantene in terms of market share, we are positioning ourselves above

them in terms of quality with this line.

Line 2: We chose this line so the listener knows that the change in hair quality is a

direct result of a product that can be bought instead of going to a salon.

69
Line 3: This line address Objective 3, which attempts to raise product awareness. As

we have discussed in our situation analysis as well as our SWOT, it has become a trend for

women to use shampoo less. We want to relate to these women by having a character in

our radio commercial in the same situation.

Line 4: This line also addresses Objective 3 by providing an alternative to using

shampoo less. It raises product awareness with an emphasis on Pantene by showing the

positive effects that can be obtained by using our product.

Line 5: This line addresses Objective 4, which raises diversity in our campaign and

our target group. The woman in line 5 is suggesting that it is hard to find a product that

works for her hair. This is a common problem with women of ethnic nationalities.

Line 6: This line provides a solution to the problem in line 5 while addressing

Objectives 2 and 4. It addresses Objective 2 (raising brand awareness) by suggesting to the

listener the many shampoo products that Pantene Pro-V offers. It addresses Objective 4 by

providing a solution to line 5 - Pantene works on all hair types.

Line 7: This line shows the listener that all of woman 1s concerns about trying a

new shampoo have been addressed, so she will give it a try. This line is to help other

women in our target group to relate to the woman speaking.

Line 8: The announcer is placed here to reiterate the main topics of the commercial.

It addresses Objective 1 (raising market share) by suggesting that the current shampoo

product that the target is using is not made for them, while Pantene is. We end with our

theme slogan that will be used throughout our campaign: Made for you. This line is

suggesting diversity, because no matter the hair type, Pantene is made just for the target

because of the many shampoo products it offers.

70
9.2 Magazine (Print) Advertisement

When our target audience sees our Magazine advertisement, we want them to know

that Pantene has the product that will work with their hair. This example of a 2-page

magazine ad would be placed in magazines that our target audience uses. Examples of

some of these magazines are stated in the magazine rationale based on our Simmons

research. Some popular magazines included in this list are Allure, Brides, Family Fun, Good

Housekeeping, Instyle Magazine, Parents, and Womans Day.

We believe the overall look of the ad is similar to the style Pantene currently uses

for their ads. It is clean and simple with a white background. We wanted to stay in a

somewhat similar style of their current advertising in order to blend well with older ads.

71
Along with Objective 2: Brand Awareness and Objective 3: Product Awareness, this ad also

aligns well with our Objective 4: Increase Diversity. Throughout this campaign we want to

convey the fact that

Pantene has products

that will work with

every type of hair. The

ad contains women with

four obviously different

hair types. These

diverse women sitting in

salon chairs can all find

a Pantene product that works for them, communicated by the headline, We adapt to your

do. The body copy explains further that Pantene knows all women are different and the

brand treats them as such. The Pantene logo is presented in the bottom-right corner of the

ad, where it has been proven to get the most visibility from observers. Next to the logo is

our chosen slogan, Made for you, tying in again that diversity message once again.

72
9.3 Ambient Advertisement

The proposal of having a Pantene Vending Machine comes from the need of an interactive

outdoor advertising that would transmit both diversity and broaden our market share and brand

awareness. By choosing an ambient advertisement, we give our target audience the opportunity to

become more involved with our product and increase their likelihood of Pantene being ingrained

when they make their next shampoo purchase.

73
The Pantene Vending Machine would follow the Pantene theme of a white background, with

our slogan Made For You and a photograph of an Asian-American woman between the ages 35-44

as the primary cover. The vending machine would have an interactive screen, in which the TA will

have the opportunity to select their hair type (frizzy, curly, textured, straight etc.), their ideal hair

look, and the scent of their ideal shampoo. After selecting their hair type, hair look and shampoo

scent preference, the digital screen shows the individual an image of the Pantene product for them

which is then released as a sample size through the vending machine. The vending machine will

also include pictures of other recommended Pantene products that the individual can find at their

local grocery store. In addition, by including the headline Select the shampoo for you we are

implying that our target audience can personalize and manipulate the type of shampoo they desire

and may be more curious as to what their ideal shampoo may be.

The vending machine would be placed close to supermarkets and grocery stores that are

known to be a spot market for our target audience. One example would be a supermarket in Seattle,

which has been signaled to be a spot market for Pantene in our target audience range.

The vending machine ambient ad idea meets our diversity goal as well as our increasing awareness

goal. Diversity is transmitted by having an Asian-American woman be the initial cover of the

vending machine, and by allowing each individual to select their type of hair and their preferences

for their ideal product. By Pantene proposing a product for every hair type, it transmits the idea

that Pantene is indeed Made For You and can be as personalized as they want it to be. By

providing a free sample of the ideal Pantene shampoo for each participant, it allows the TA to bring

Pantene home with them and try the product to see if it fits their needs. Also, by maintaining the

color white as the background it aligns with the rest of the campaign and helps reinforce the

traditional layout of Pantene.

Wzc2_qVlQTLxPv_0O

Our TV commercial addressed four of Pantenes main objectives. The first one is to

raise brand awareness. Pantenes shampoo bottle and logo is visible for over 70% of this

ad. The voiceover describes the brand and product, giving potential users insight. This also

covers the objective of raising awareness about the importance of shampoo. With the

recent trend of going natural, an increasing number of people have began to wash their

hair less frequently. By positioning Pantene as a fresh, clean and natural product, it can

inform people of the importance of keeping your hair clean while remaining natural. Most

importantly, it is inspiring diversity among our target audience. This will be Pantenes first

television commercial featuring an Asian woman. Not only are we promoting our shampoo

for white females, but for females of all backgrounds and hair types.

78
This advertisement also addresses important qualities, as defined by our target

audience. As seen in the MAM analysis, these women want a shampoo that is soft and

makes their hair smell good. Throughout the campaign, we are trying to stress diversity,

and teaching our consumers that Pantene is made for you. Like people, flowers come in a

variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, and all of them are unique. This is what led us to choose

gardens and flowers for our visual advertisement. These women want soft and fragrant

hair, which is comparable to the scent and texture of flower petals. Gardens are also very

natural, which supports our concept of us being natural and fresh.

79
9.5 Mobile Advertisements

9.5.1 Mobile Advertisement 1 - HGTV App

80
Rationale:

We chose to put a banner advertisement using the HGTV mobile app because this is

network that our target interacts with at a high index. According to Simmons, our target

watches this channel at an index of 118. Since this app allows the user to watch full

episodes of shows featured on HGTV, it is likely they would use the app to watch their

favorite show.

As for the content of the advertisement, we chose an Asian model to represent our

brand to address Objective 4, which is concerned with raising diversity within our

campaign. We chose her to have shiny and full hair to stand out against a white background

so that users are drawn to the advertisement.

The headline states, Designer

Home? Designer Hair to align with

the design aspect with the HGTV

network. This channel is all about

improving the home with design

elements, so we wanted to parallel

that with hair to relate to the viewers interests and needs. The copy, Get the design that

fits your design needs also alludes to relating to the viewer and providing a solution to

their needs. We chose it to be a short sentence because it is on a mobile device. Therefore, it

is small and the viewer will likely not spend much time staring at it. Because of this, we

want to give them our main point to resonate with them. We included our campaign slogan,

Made for you, to tie it in with our overall campaign.

81
Lastly, our logo is shown in the bottom right corner because many studies have shown that

this is where the viewers eye goes last.

82
9.5.2 Mobile Advertisement 2 - The Bachelor

83
Our research concluded that the television show The Bachelor was of high

interest to our target audience. Our mobile ad is displayed on the ABC app, particularly

within the shows section of the app. The Bachelor had an index of 138 on the Simmons

data. The ABC app allows viewers to watch shorter clips and episodes of the popular show.

We chose a

woman of descent with

shiny, flowy hair to be

featured on the ad. This

addresses our goal of

Objective #4, which is to

increase diversity

throughout the brand

Pantene. We wanted an

image of a woman with gorgeous thick hair to positively promote the brand. The

background is simple, with rose petals to fit the theme of The Bachelor.

The headline states, Give yourself a rose, implying that Pantene will make the user

feel beautiful and desired. The hit TV show The Bachelor features one man meeting

several women at the same time, and narrowing down their search for love each week by

giving fewer and fewer women roses. The last lucky lady to get the final rose is the

winner and gets engaged to the bachelor. The body copy states, Get the product that

makes you feel like a winner. This again implies that Pantene products will make the user

feel like a winner after purchasing the products. The pop-up ad also addresses our

84
objectives 2 and 3, to increase product and brand awareness. The ad concludes with the

logo in the right-hand corner and the slogan, Made for you.

85
9.5.3 Mobile Advertisement 3 - E! News

Due to the results of our research, it was concluded that the E! News app was of high

interest for our target audience (women between ages 35-44). E! News has multiple

platforms for their articles and online videos, and our target audience is most likely to have

the E! News app downloaded on their smartphone. The E! News app provides the

individual with articles and videos of celebrities and the news on their lives. The app layout

is as pictured above, but without any pop-up ads. For this reason, we have chosen that the

86
most appropriate and non-intrusive way to promote our products through this app is by

making it seem that it is just one more article in the app. In addition, by making the ad a

Pantene hair tutorial for 8 different looks, it promotes our goal of Pantene being for

everyone. In order to promote diversity, we have also included Asian-American women as

models for the hair tutorial.

By blending the ad with the other articles it will not be as intrusive as a pop-up ad

and our target audience will be more likely to be interested, in addition to the video being a

tool for them to get different hairstyle looks. The video shows the different ways Pantene

can be used in formal or informal occasions, and implies that no matter how low cost our

brand is it can still be used as a high-end product.

The video will follow the white background aligning itself with the rest of the

campaign, and at the end will show the slogan Made For You which also implies diversity.

Throughout the hair tutorial, the model will show different Pantene products that may be

used depending on the style, implying that Pantene has a solution to every bad hair day.

87
5.4 Mobile Advertisement #4 - Disney

88
The objective of this advertisement is to increase brand awareness within our target

audience. To do this we wanted to increase the advertising in media outlets our TA uses the

most. Women age 35-44 are 46% more likely to have kids. This means a lot of their life

revolves around their childrens wants and needs. Some of these needs include watching

channels such as Disney. Simmons reveals that 69% of women ages 35 to 44 watch Disney

Channel. That being said, we decided to target these women on mobile apps that their

children use.

This mobile also features an Asian model

to help increase the use among their race.

Simmons shows that 52% of women ages 35-44

who use Pantene are Asian. Since many females

who are Asian Americans use Pantene, we would like to increase their usage and show

more diversity in our advertisements by having Asian models use our product.

The bottles are featured in the right-hand corner because it shows the viewer what

the bottle looks like for that specific hair texture. We hope that after glimpsing at the

bottles women will recognize the bottles in store.

9.5.5 Mobile Advertisement #5 - Nickelodeon

Media Rationale

We decided to use the Nickelodeon App as a mobile platform because of its high

index, and because the women in our target audience tend to make their purchasing

decisions based on their family and children (Simmons OneView, 2014). Nickelodeons

App contains clashing colors and tends to have a lot of mixed-matched items on it. We

wanted the advertisement to fit in with the environment while maintaining our color

scheme. To find a happy medium, we made the background Pantenes dark blue and light

tan colors. We also used Pantenes font for the body copy. To help us fit in with the app, we

added Nickelodeon cartoons with fun and exciting hair. We also rounded the edges of our

advertisement to match the others.

This mobile advertisement addresses diversity and the inclusion of all hair types.

The Asian woman and the three cartoons all have different hair types, ranging from neat

and tidy to chaotic. This demonstrates that Pantene has a shampoo for every hair type. It

also has an Asian woman, which goes along with our target audience objective in addition

to diversity.

91
9.6 Internet/Social Media Advertisement - Pinterest

92
The primary objective the Pinterest advertisement seeks to address is, raising

Pantenes market share. Our copy suggests to our audience that Pantene Pro-V works on all

textured hair and that there is finally a shampoo that celebrates different hair. Unlike other

leading brands that have only a variety of different scents, such as Suave, Pantene has

different fragrances and hair products.

We decided to create a Pinterest advertisement because when looking at Simmons

we saw that females ages 35 to 44 have an index of 259

and are very likely to use Pinterest. We also found that

women age 35 to 44 who already use Pantene had an

index of 224 and are also very likely to use Pinterest as

one of their social media platforms.

The headline Made For You, and Get the look

shows our TA that it is a new series that works on all hair.

The copy also suggests clicking on the picture will bring

them to a website that will help them get the look. Not

only is it iterated in the copy of the advertisement that

Pantene has products for all types of hair but also, the

African American woman featured visually represents the one type of hair texture Pantene

works on. While looking at Simmons other races that use Pantene and are between the

ages of 35-44 have an index of 136. This means that a lot of other races to use Pantene

however, until now, there have been no campaigns directed at these ethnic users.

Another objective this advertisement seeks to achieve is increasing Facebook

following. Rather than this advertisement hyperlink to Pantenes website, if clicked on it

93
sends users to Pantenes Facebook page where they can find new hairstyles and product

suggestions.

The advertisement has a simple layout because it is intended to look like a regular

Pinterest post. If people desire the curly hair, then they are more likely to pin the image to

their boards or click the extension link to find out more. The signature in the bottom right

hand corner of the picture is small and discreet to ensure that it does not come across as an

advertisement when scrolling through a feed.

10.0 MEDIA PLAN

Overview: Our media plan will consist of a pulsing schedule throughout the year. We

are heavying up on advertising during the warmer months because these months are when

people shower and use shampoo the most often. We also have an emphasis on reach

throughout our campaign because we want more women within our target age to use our

product. The idea of diversity throughout this campaign also addresses this goal. Our

average reach in our national market is 70, while the average reach in the spot markets is

77.5. The average frequency for our entire campaign is 3.025.

Figure 10.0A - Reach

96
Figure 10.0B - Frequency

As shown in figures 10.0A and 10.0B, our reach and frequency values go on the

same general trends throughout the campaign. We have emphasized the beginning and end

of the campaign to put ourselves into the market in the summer months as well as the

months when it starts to warm up.

June and July, the beginning of our campaign, both have an average reach of 83 and

an average frequency of 3.4. Because of the high temperatures in these months, we

estimate that our target will use shampoo more often. Much of our target audience is made

up of mothers with young kids and are likely to do outdoor activities. August, the last

month in the first quarter, is also a warm month so we maintained a relatively high reach of

81.7 and a frequency of 3.2.

In the second quarter (September, October, and November), we have significantly

lowered our reach and frequency values to give us more room to emphasize our campaign

97
in other quarters. September has a reach of 74.8 and a frequency of 2.5. October has a reach

of 74.7 and a frequency of 2.5. Finally, November has a reach of 74.1 and a frequency of 2.4.

For December, we have started to increase our reach and frequency values. This is

because the beauty and haircare product category increases during this month (Nielsen)

because many consumers purchase beauty products for holiday gift ideas. The reach for

this month is 78.9 while the frequency is 2.7. For the remainder of the third quarter,

January and February, we are slowly increasing our values in order to get our message out

and ready for the warmer months to begin. The reach for January is 78.4 while the

frequency is 2.9. For February, our reach is 80.2 and our frequency is 3.0.

The fourth quarter has the highest values for both reach and frequency. This is

because we are gearing up for the summer months to come. Therefore, we are doing a

rapid push to get our message out to resonate with our target audience for the last part of

the campaign. This will also give them time to use up the rest of their shampoo before

potentially switching to Pantene during the summer months after our campaign has ended.

For March, our reach is 83.7 and our frequency is 3.3. For April, our reach is 85.5 and our

frequency is 3.5. Finally, for May, our reach is 85.8 and our frequency is 3.5.

GRP Overview:

The Gross Rating Point (GRP) schedule is shown in figure 10.0C. As is reflected in

the chart, our GRP trend matches the reach and frequency trends. Because of the high reach

and frequency values in quarter one, our average GRP value for that quarter is 274. For

Quarter 2, our low reach and frequency values reflect a low average GRP value of 183. As

98
Quarter 3 starts to increase in reach and frequency, the average GRP value for this quarter

is 225. Our highest average GRP value is presented in Quarter 4, at an average value of 291.

Figure 10.0C

Overview of CPM and CPP:

Cost Per Thousand (CPM) and Cost Per Point (CPP) are reflected in figures 10.0D

and 10.0E. These two elements in a campaign are important in a media plan order to see

the cost of buying impressions. The CPM reflects the cost of buying 1,000 gross

impressions. The CPP reflects the cost of buying 1 GRP. The CPM and CPP charts are

inversely related to the GRP chart because it costs less to buy a higher quantity of GRPs

than it does to buy a lower quantity.

99
Figures 10.0D, 10.0E, & 10.0F

100
Figure 10.0F explains the breakdown of our media vehicles by both revenue and

GRPs. Our national budget is broken into eight media vehicles, seven shown in the chart

above, with Net TV being the highest and general magazines being the lowest. Net radio has

the highest amount of GRPs, and national syndication has the lowest.

10.1 Spot Markets Overview:

For our spot markets, we selected cities that had a high index of females in our

target age group who are currently not using shampoo. However, these spot markets also

have a relatively high index number of overall Pantene users not within our target group.

Therefore, we chose these cities because of the high potential for our target group to start

using Pantene.

Lexington, Kentucky 188 84

Louisville, Kentucky 188 84

New York, New York 136 106

Reno, Nevada 122 73

101

As reflected in Figure 10.1A, our spot markets all have high indexes when it comes

to where our target audience lives. By placing extra advertising in these markets, we will be

able to reach more of our target to help raise brand awareness as well as raise our market

share (Objectives 1 and 2).

Figure 10.1B Pantene Media Mix: Revenue and GRP

Figure 10.1B shows our Spot Market Media Mix. Television takes up the majority of

the spot market because of the amount of our target that watches television (See Vehicle

Selections for Television).

Figure 10.2A shows the allocation of our television selections by GRP and how much

we spent on that vehicle. We have distributed to many different times and networks

because we are emphasizing reach in our campaign. Also, our target tends to watch

television at a high rate throughout the day, so we made sure to include many different

times. According to Simmons, our target watches television all day at an index value of 104.

103
We put an emphasis on early morning network television because our target tends

to watch that the most. Our target watches television from 6 am to 9 am Monday through

Friday at an index number of 114.

We also put an emphasis on prime television in both our spot and national markets.

Our target watches primetime television at an index of 104.

Since our target audience tends to listen to the radio at high index numbers, we

spent much of our budget in radio. According to Simmons, our target listens to the radio at

an index number of 112. Index numbers throughout the day remain relatively high,

however, there is a jump in the index numbers when it comes to morning drive. Our target

listens to the radio in the morning at an index number of 121. Therefore, we put a big

emphasis on radio advertising during this time for both national and spot markets. We also

put an emphasis on evening drive because our target listens to the radio at this time at an

index number of 124.

magazines for our magazine media. Our target reads magazines at high index numbers.

Many womens magazines had index numbers of over 150 including Brides (208), Glamour

(164), Womens Day (152), and Instyle Magazine (167). We also included some general

interest magazines to obtain the reach we are aiming for.

105
Our campaign consists of digital media outlets. We emphasize social media in our

campaign because of Objective 5 - our goal to increase our social media presence. Our

target also uses the internet and social media at high rates. Facebook has an index of 140,

Twitter has an index of 142, YouTube has an index of 119, and Pinterest has an index of

259. We also emphasized mobile because the use of smartphones and other mobile devices

has been increasing at a rapid rate.

spending budget is rationalized by our reach and frequency goals (see figures 10.0A and

10.0B). The media selections for each month is rationalized by usage of our target (see 7.0

Media Selections). The vehicles within each media were selected also based on usage by

our target (see 10.2 Vehicle Selections).

11.0 CAMPAIGN EVALUATION

Our campaign will be evaluated based on how well our objectives meet each of their

ending values. Since we have a contingency plan that is roughly 10.2% of our budget, this

money will be set into place if our goals are not met for a specific objective.

For Objective 1, we aim to increase our market share from 3.2% to 4.5%. This will

be evaluated by measuring the market share against our competitors throughout the

campaign timeline and making sure that our goal is met for each benchmark value at the

end of each quarter.

For Objective 2, we aim to increase brand awareness within our target audience

from 28% to 40%. This will be evaluated by administering a brand awareness throughout

the campaign year to our target audience to make sure our benchmark values are met.

For Objective 3, we aim to maintain shampoo product awareness at 94% by

promoting the usage of shampoo products over alternative methods of washing hair (or

not washing hair at all) with an emphasis on Pantene as a brand. This will be evaluated by

distributing a product awareness survey throughout our campaign.

For Objective 4, our goal is to increase diversity within our advertisements from 0%

to 20%. This will be evaluated by measuring our advertising using ethnic models against

the rest of our advertisements.

Objective 5 aims to increase social media presence, specifically on Facebook. This

will be evaluated by the number of followers we have gained after each benchmark value.

Finally, Objective 6 address share of voice. Our goal is to increase Pantenes share of

voice from 24.1% to 26.1%. Since our budget has only increased by a small percentage, we

are only able to increase our share of voice by a small percentage as well. We will evaluate

115
the success of this objective by measuring the share of voice within the market after each

quarter to make sure our benchmark value has been met.

The success of our campaign depends entirely on whether or not our goals for the

stated objectives have been met.
