ExecutiveSummary

Oakshire’s main objective is to increase beer sales. As a result, the advertising objective is to reach as many beer enthusiasts as possible with the message that Oakshire is a quality, community-oriented craft beer. By spreading the message of Oakshire’s core values, Oakshire has the opportunity to expand and strengthen brand loyalty. A realistic media goal for Oakshire is to reach 20% of our target audience (14,000 people based on the 70,000 craft beer drinkers) by December 31, 2014. Our team monitored the social media of Oakshire and its competition, observed the behavior of brand patrons, and interviewed local beer enthusiasts in order to find the most effective methods for achieving our goal. In order to reach this group, we came up with strategies and tactics that focus on showing how Oakshire can compliment their hobbies and interests.

audience Our target audiences are men and women ages 25-45. They have professional jobs, and like to grab a beer after work to wind down. This group is outdoorsy and active, but are not extremists. They have young children, like to cook and spend time in nature. They are “dog people.” A majority of our audience own dogs and take pictures of their dogs and meals on Instagram. In their free time, this group likes to hike, bike, and engage in other outdoor activities; however, they also like to remain comfortable. You may find them on top of Spencer’s Butte, but not hiking through the forests of Patagonia. Their outfits consist of jeans, tennis shoes and a hoodie.

Our campaign strategy is to reach our outdoorsy, non-extremist target

audience with the message that Oakshire beer is worth the cost.

There are some corners you

just shouldn't cut...

Print/ video AdsTHERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS

TASTE IS ONE OF THEM

YOU SHOULDN'T CUT CORNERS ON...

When: New print and video advertisements will be released at the beginning of each season. Where: Video ads will be shown at events, such as Movies in the Park, Oakshire’s website, and YouTube. The print ads will be featured in 1859 Oregon magazine and board shops around Oregon.Why: Many beer drinkers don’t see why they should spend the extra money on Oakshire, and they settle for a cheaper alternative. However, there are some things you shouldn’t settle on, and taste is one of them. Our “Don’t Cut Corners” campaign explains this view to our audience in a humorous way by using video and print ads of bad results from cutting costs such as: a cheap haircut, a garage sale tent and a makeshift stove.

EventsMovies in the Park

Brewski atMt. Bachelor

What: Oakshire will pair with Movies in the Park throughout Oregon. A booth will be set up to sell Oakshire beer during the movie, and the “Don’t Cut Corners” video will play before the movie. When: Summer monthsWhere: Ten cities in Oregon Why: Movies in the Park is an opportunity to reach our casual, outdoorsy target audience. Because decisions about beer are often made last minute, attendees will be able to buy Oakshire at the booth, right after seeing the advertisement.

What: A booth will be set up with a TV showing a video advertisement, raffle for merchandise, and pints of beer will be available. When: May Where: Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort Why: A beer-themed event at a ski resort is an effective way to reach the outdoorsy, but non-extremist target audience, showcase their beer and educate people of the art of craft brewing. Other Oregon craft beers will be featured there, and by participating, Oakshire can raise brand awareness and align itself with Oregon craft brewing.

8

Beer andfood pairing

What: An educational event about craft beer and food parings, food pairing options on labels and suggested beers next to the items on the food menus. When: WinterWhere: OakshireWhy: 45% of craft beer drinkers say that they would try more craft beer if they knew more about the beers. Because craft beer drinkers are more likely to appreciate the releases for their flavor, craft brewers need to solidify their brews matches with food, and not lose ground to domestic or imported beer.

Disc GolfTournament

9

What: Oakshire will host a Disc Golf Tournament at Alton Baker Park, and the proceeds will benefit a local non-profit. The players will wear Oakshire Disc Golf Tourna-ment shirts, and local food carts will be invited to provide food.When: A Saturday afternoon in the SpringWhere: Alton Baker Park Disc Golf CourseWhy: Disc Golf is the perfect sport for our target audience, who loves to be outdoors, but who always wants to be comfortable. Disc Golf is a low-intensity sport that goes well with beer drinking. This event will create local buzz around Oakshire, show support for the community, and attract future Oakshire patrons.

These are a couple of examples of potential label redesigns. The most important aspect is that the logo is centered and large, and also that the label is not cluttered with too many elements. The colors should be changed to distinguish different beers from each other.

These coasters can be distributed to multiple venues. On the back they should include upcoming events and promotions.
