A TYPICAL MARKETING PROBLEM

 

"OUR MILK"


In this exercise we'll assume you  want to sell a competitively priced, widely distributed product that closely resembles other brands.

Here are the facts:

Our Milk is delivered through grocery and convenience stores and comes in cartons, plasti-glass containers and gallon jugs.  It is fresh, cold, white and comes from cows.  Your dairies feed hydroponic hay to those cows. Your milk tastes exactly the same as every other brand in the grocery store.



Your objective is to persuade people who drink milk to try Our Milk.  Here's a blank highway billboard.  Do something that will motivate people whizzing by at 65MPH to remember Our Milk.  


Look at your ad for two seconds.  Does it make you want to get off the highway at the next exit and rush to the nearest 7-11?  

If it does, congratulations!  You're already an expert at marketing strategy, brand promise, and creative execution.

If it doesn't, click to my Marketing Communications Process Page and learn how to write a coherent marketing plan for Your Milk - or any other brand.
