History of Sabra1986 Sabra was founded in Queens, NY as Sabra Blue & White Foods

2005 Strauss, an Israeli food manufacturer, bought Sabra

2008 Strauss entered a partnership with Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo, giving Strauss 50% ownership and PepsiCo 50% ownership of Sabra

2008-2009 Sabra grew over 50% in size during this period

March 2009 Sabra launched its first US national advertising campaign

May 2009 Sabra began a series of promotional events in which it recreated “Mediterranean Villages” in 11 major US cities

November 2009 The market share of Sabra reached 40% of the US, making Sabra the largest hummus manufacturer in the world

2010 Sabra opened the doors to its new manufacturing plant in Virginia

2012 Sabra introduced its new line of Grab N Go Packs with salsa and Tostitos Tortilla chips for snackers on the move

2013 Sabra opened a first-of-its-kind global “Center of Excellence” research and development facility to cook up a world of possibilities in dips and spreads

Environmental AnalysisCompetetive ForcesCompanies in competition with Sabra Hummus include Tribe Hummus, Cedar’s Hummus, and Athenos Hummus. Sabra sets itself apart with its extra creamy texture and its variety of 14 different flavors. It is currently the most popular brand of hummus and is continuing to develop new ideas to improve and expand within their research and development center.

Economic ForcesIn 2010, Strauss, an Israeli owned and located food company that owns half of Sabra, provided financial resources and support to the Israeli military force. Sabra, being in association with them, was affected in the US by this decision. Palestinian students at Princeton University and Depaul University boycotted the allowance of all Sabra products on their campuses. This gathered negative attention for the Sabra brand, but did not decrease its overall popularity in the US.

Sociocultural ForcesSabra prides themselves on having social responsibilities that directly impact the future. They are committed to helping the environment, caring for the community, and promoting better nutrition. To make the company increasingly more eco-friendly, its new plant uses recycled materials and a percentage of their buildings energy comes from renewable resources. In addition, Sabra product packaging is made from 30-40% post consumer recycled plastic.

ResearchResearch Objectives• Determine the amount of awareness Sabra Hummus has currently• Discover the most popular alternative to hummus• Decide what medium will be most effective for reaching our target audience

Primary Research For our primary research, we conducted an online survey where over 100 people from our target audience participated. In the survey, we were able to identify information related to: the amount of peo-ple who eat hummus, if they know of Sabra Hummus, the effect that price has when purchasing hummus, the time of day hummus is eaten most often, what it’s eaten with, and the dip that is hummus’ closest com-petitor. We discovered that over 80% of our target audience has heard of Sabra Hummus, but that 20% of our audience does not eat hummus. We learned that those who do eat hummus consume it most during the afternoon, followed by consumption in the evening. Most of our audience prefers to eat their hummus using vegetables, with chips, crackers, and pretzels being close choices. Another important statistic obtained from our survey was that 70% of our target audience agreed that taste is more important than price when choosing a brand of hummus. The final important piece that was taken from our survey is that guacamole is our closest competitor.

Secondary Research Different websites such as blogs, social media sites, and product reviews gave us an inside look on how our target market feels about Sabra Hummus. It seems as though the majority of people who eat hummus are every day people looking for healthy and tasty options in their lives. Many teenagers are writing about the convenient to-go packages of hummus on their social media accounts. Furthermore, on Twitter, a common trend for adults is posting their recipes that include Sabra Hummus in different, creative ways. Through research on Simmons OneView, we were able to determine how and where our target audience consumes media. Our target audience often reads magazines like People, Instyle, and Family Circle. These women are on the Internet at home frequently checking emails and visiting blogs. In addition, we found that our target market eats dips for a snack most often around late afternoon with vegetables.

Brand Value PropositionFunctionalSabra Hummus is currently the leading hummus brand due to its creamy texture, variety of flavors, and healthy ingredients. It is attractive to many consumers because there is no stirring involved; you can enjoy a quick snack that’s satisfying and easy. Additionally, it can act as a substitute for many traditional spreads and dips. These natural products are also gluten free and low fat, providing health benefits and promoting good eating habits.

Self-ExpressiveSabra Hummus consumers are those who are conscious about what they eat and what they are feeding to their children. It is important to them that the food is healthy, but also tasty so that the entire family can enjoy it. They are open to trying new things and will encourage their friends to use the product because of the positive impact it has had on their lives thus far. They have come to the realization that this product is not only convenient and delicious, but something that they will have the desire to share with friends and family.

EmotionalDue to the fact that Sabra Hummus contains only natural and gluten free ingredients, consumers can be assured that they are eating something that not only tastes good, but also enhances their healthy lifestyles. Furthermore, when mothers and women buy Sabra for themselves or their children, they can be assured that the delicious taste is also providing an effective balance to their diet. This will ultimately give them a peace of mind. Consumers will never feel slighted or limited to their choices with the option of 14 different flavors; rather, they will have a sense of empowerment. Sabra Hummus is very clear about the ingredients that are used, making consumers feel safe in their choice and want to invest in the product again.

Campaign StrategyThe ChallengeOur challenge is changing the mindset of consumers. We want to convert their mindset from thinking of hummus as a specialty product to thinking of hummus as an everyday dip and spread. In addition, we are trying to get other dip lovers to choose hummus instead of other alternatives, more specifically guacamole: Sabra’s leading competitor.

The Key InsightSabra Hummus is not just a Mediterranean food; it mixes flavors from around the globe to appeal to a worldwide market.

The Brand PromiseWith our smooth and creamy texture, we offer nutritional value, with the freshest ingredients, in multiple flavors for a simple use, on any occasion.

12

The Big Idea

“A creamy delightthat’s always just right”

13

Creative OverviewCreative StrategyWith Sabra being the number one hummus brand, we want to show our target audience how to use Sabra Hummus as an every day dip or spread. Through our research, we discovered that Sabra as a brand is well known, but we need to introduce more people to hummus. Our campaign will show Sabra’s audience that through its creamy and smooth texture, they are offered nutritional value with fresh ingredients from around the world. With a variety of 14 flavors, Sabra Hummus is for every household and can be used in many different ways.

Art DirectionWhen putting together the advertisements for our campaign, Sapphire International stressed the idea of Sabra Hummus being a simple snack that is perfect for any occasion. To execute this creatively, we portrayed each of our ads as different scenarios where the product is either being consumed or used. Each ad features a different Sabra Hummus scenario with body copy describing the product. The background color behind the copy is different in each ad with the intention of creating a consistent yet diverse look. Additionally, the slogan “A creamy delight that’s always just right” is the largest font on the page in order to draw attention to this important message about Sabra Hummus.

CopywritingAll of the copy on our ads is placed on the bottom half in order to accent the scenario that is depicted above. The font is easily readable, simple, and trendy to go along with the big idea of the Sabra Hummus campaign. Our slogan, “A creamy delight that’s always just right,” is placed on the top section of the copy so that this is the first text recognized by the viewer. This will bring attention quickly and efficiently to the key message of our entire campaign, and it will correspond with the pictures in each of the ads. The body copy below the slogan contains a call to action. This call to action emphasizes that there is a flavor for everyone and encourages consumers to find their perfect flavor.

Creative TestingThe creative testing process Sapphire International chose to use consisted of asking members of our target market their opinions of the overall campaign and individual ads. The responses that were recorded after viewing showed positive attitudes toward the campaign and successful message comprehension. In general, the comments suggested a desire to consume more hummus as well as the ability to relate to the scenarios that were being portrayed. Several people also expressed an appreciation for the “happiness” that was depicted in each of our ads. They also received a sense of incentive from the ads to purchase hummus in the near future.

Responses from Participants“The way the hummus is presented makes it look really appetizing.”

“The ads are relatable and are all scenarios that could really happen.”“Makes me want to eat hummus.”

“Next time I go to the library I’m going to get this as a snack.”

Media ObjectivesTarget AudienceOur target audience is women between the ages of 18-34. Our primary focus is on mothers due to the fact that they are often the person who purchases groceries for the family. Furthermore, mothers appreciate the simplicity and variety that Sabra will provide to satisfy the palate of every member of their family. Women enjoy the opportunity to be creative for the ones they love, and Sabra gives them the opportunity to make the product their own.

Geographic Scope of the PlacementOur goal is to reach a national audience through our Internet and magazine advertisements that will be distributed across the country. We will also reach regional audiences with our billboards being places in major cities including New York, Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Message WeightMagazines are used primarily as a medium for this campaign. Sapphire International chose to use magazines as a primary medium because of its easy accessibility to a large percentage of our target audience. We also chose to focus on television and the Internet due to the vast reach and frequency it would help Sabra obtain.

20

Media StrategyReach and FrequencyThrough our campaign will reach 65% of the target market at least 4 times.

ContinuitySabra Hummus will use a pulsing technique being continuous throughout most of the year, but becoming more active during the summer and early fall. During the summer, households are more prone to having gatherings where they serve food, and we want to encour-age them to choose Sabra Hummus. There will be another pulse in the early fall to encourage moms to purchase Sabra Hummus for the back-to-school season to be used for their kids’ lunches.

Media Choices: TelevisionGood Morning AmericaGood Morning America is a popular morning show with the latest news, celebrity interviews, weather, and special interest stories. A large part of the audience for this show is women getting ready in the morning for work or getting their kids ready for school. This allows us to reach our desired target audience for Sabra.

Live! With Kelly and Michael – CBSLive! With Kelly and Michael is a syndicated morning talk show hosted by Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. This program is perhaps the classic show to watch while getting ready for work. The un-scripted on-air conversation between the hosts talking about every day topics resonates perfectly with our primary audience.

Chelsea Lately – EChelsea lately is a late night talk show hosted by the comedian, Chelsea Handler. The show talks a great deal about current pop culture and lifestyle, often interviewing celebrities about their lives. This will reach our secondary audience of 18-24 year olds.

Media Choices: MagazinesFamily Circle Circulation: 4,135,287Family Circle celebrates today’s families and targets women specifically. The magazine focuses on providing practical solutions to help mothers raise happy, healthy families. With the incorporation of healthy recipes, Sabra hummus will fit perfectly with the content of this magazine.

People Circulation: 3,593,024People is a popular magazine that covers celebrity news and inspiring stories. In addition, People is constantly keeping their audiences up-to-date with current culture. With the majority of People’s readers being in the age range of our target audience, People is a perfect choice for an ad for Sabra.

GrouponThis website is a simple, easy process for any person to gain access to discounts for products they are interested in. Using Groupon as one of our mediums will provide mothers and the rest of our target audience with a reliable and efficient way to access daily discounts for Sabra Hummus. In addition, it will give our target audience more incentive to use the coupons and/or discounts when purchasing Sabra.

CafeMomThrough our research, Sapphire International found that a large majority of our target market is active on social media and blogging websites. CaféMom is a blog used by women and moms as a support group and information outlet that connects the users to each other. The women are able to discuss anything from the latest trends to concerns they may have about a child’s health. Sabra Hummus would benefit from this medium due to the content and attitudes of its users.

24

Media Choices: BillboardNew York, NYBoston, MASan Francisco, CALos Angeles, CA

Due to the large and diverse population that inhabits these four cities, Sapphire International will place billboards throughout each of them. Our target market will be reached, and the frequency will be much greater as opposed to a small suburb or a rural area. Placing billboards in these major cities will also ensure exposure outside of our target audience, leading to word of mouth marketing and more action from consumers.

Brand ActivationPartnership with Celiac Disease Foundation- “Gluten Free is the Way to Be”

Objective: Bring recognition to the fact that all 14 of Sabra Hummus flavors are gluten free and encourage those affected by Celiac to include Sabra in their every day diet.

Strategy:In an effort to create more awareness about the benefit of Sabra Hummus being gluten free, we will form a partnership with the Celiac Disease Foundation. For the duration of our campaign, 25 cents of every Sabra Hummus purchase will go toward the Foundation. We will also become their top sponsor, meaning Sabra will have advertisements on their webpage and at their events. This strategy will not only create brand awareness, but also encourage people of the gluten-free community to try hummus as an additional item that will satisfy their dietary needs. Lastly, this form of brand activation will create a positive corporate image for Sabra.

Sabra Hummus Online Recipe Contest- “Show Sabra How you Hummus”

Objective: Encourage people to experiment with and share the different ways in which Sabra Hummus can be used, as well as generating more activity on our website.

Strategy:Through social media, we will create “Show Sabra How you Hummus,” a contest in which people will submit recipes to our website that incorporate Sabra Hummus. After all recipes are submitted, anyone who visits our website will be able to vote for which recipe they like best. Once all votes are cast and counted, the top five winners will be rewarded with a Sabra Hummus gift basket sent directly to their home that contains all 14 flavors.
