Our tone is mainly friendly and honest. It can be chic,

Use words shaping how users feel, rather than simply

This tone should be used in all communications
including blogs, articles, website content, social
networks, packaging, and even personal interactions.

“Watch out! We’re sending a new offer in your direction.”
“Just Girly adds just the right amount of sweet and
healthy into the good ol’ plain water.”
Embracing colloquial, everyday language helps people
to forge an emotional connection with the text.
Exclamatory remarks such as “woohoo”, “yay” and “woot
woot” convey the feeling of excitement, for example.
Likewise, humor is used when describing difficult or
negative things such as a customer unsubscribing from
our email list: “Bummer! We hate to see you go. Would
you like to take some time to think about it? We can
remind you again in three months.”

42. Creative Brief
Jacqueline, Shar, Britney, Krystal (Just Girly)
The project: To launch Just Girly drops that is specially formulated for each woman’s basic needs. Beauty.Body.Mind
We are different from competitors because we are not focusing on our flavors but rather the nutrients itself specially formulated for
skincare, weight loss/health, and mind focus plus energy.
The client: Arden deBrun
The intended audience: Mainly women of all ages, lifestyle, exercise habits, various careers, beauty-oriented individuals.
Students/Athletes/Professionals/Homemakers
Success criteria: We have what the market has not produced. Current water enhancers are merely favors with high sugar content, or
low calories, even zero calories. However, so far none is entirely focused on beauty (skin benefits), or direct weight loss, and even those
energy water enhancers we see on the shelves now are not specially formulated. It boost energy, but it does not have the benefits of
ginseng or chromium, etc like Just Girly Drops have.
Flavors perception: Body (woman’s body) Mind (woman’s upper torso), Body (woman’s silhouette and curves).
Straightforward but attractive design of bottle.
Strategies: Social Media with links to discounts. Magazines such as Cosmopolitan. YouTube videos.
43. Key Message / Tone
“Bring some flair into your water”
For our product launch, our advertising will be a playful, but informative.
Shape of bottle resembles a woman’s figure. We want a clear message. We built these bottles and water drops with nutrients
in mind that are focused on women’s overall being. Not just energy. But mind, weight loss, stabilizes metabolism, and skin
care FROM WITHIN. Our main goal is that we want our target audience to feel that these drops can be part of their daily lives.
Something that will encourage them to drink more water, and not because of the flavor, BUT the benefits in it.
45. Digital
Communications
We will develop a website to capture traffic and provide a credible platform for providing information
about the product, as well as a Twitter handle to seek out and respond to conversations about Just Girly;
a YouTube channel to promote the launch of our brand; Facebook as the brand hub, where we engage
directly with consumers; an Instagram channel to support our digital strategy. Later in, we can establish new
channels always by first defining the channel’s role and brand voice.

Food Product Design. Flavored Waters Driving Home Soda Machine Sales . 2014. http://www.foodproductdesign.com/news/2014/03/flavored-waters-driving-home-soda-machine-
sales.aspx
This article is based on the NPD’s National Eating Trends Report and it gives some good insight on how the market is growing. It touched on how the growing demand for
water enhancers and customization of beverages has helped with sales for home soda machines. Interestingly, the two relate because consumers want to have a choice in
customizing their drinks while also having healthy beverage options in their home. NPD’s National Eating Trends service states that the consumption of carbonated beverages
in the home has declined over the past two years and bottled water consumption has gone up. Debra Mednick, executive director of The NPD Group, states that overall
consumption of traditional soda in the home has declined, which gives home soda machine manufacturers and beverage companies an opportunity to offset the trend by
introducing new products that capitalize on consumer’s healthier beverage preferences.
Food Product Design. Water Enhancers Driving Bottled Water Sales. 2013. http://www.foodproductdesign.com/blogs/trending-foods/2014/05/water-enhancers-driving-bottled-
water-sales.aspx
This source includes sales data based on the Bottled water in the US report from Packaged Facts. It explains that water—tap/filtered or bottled—represents 46% of beverage
consumption. It also points out water represents nearly half of all beverages consumed by adults, but not as much by children. The article mentions that carbonated beverage
consumption in the home has declined in the past two years and sales of complementary products such as CO2 carbonators, bottles, mixes and syrups more than doubled
overall. This shows the opportunities for companies to introduce new such product offerings that consumers are after. This consumer preference is due mainly to main driving
sources such as healthy living and the obesity epidemic. Importantly, it states that water enhancers have the potential to make a significant impact on sales of bottled water.

free-for-all-in-2014_id111901.aspx
This was an informative article that touched on possibilities for companies in entering the water enhancer market. It mentioned how Coca-Cola has launched and planned on
launching multiple water enhancers through a number of their products. For example, they were planning on introducing Dasani Drops. They have also introduced Powerade
Zero drops, which mimic Kraft’s 2012 introduction of MiO Fit and MiO Energy. These products typically target young male consumers into the water enhancer market. The
article also touches on how water enhancers (especially those that promote energy) can substitute morning coffee for some. The article touches on the opportunity for growth
in the water enhancement market, such as certain products with a specific, unique look for the water enhancement bottle and even cocktail mixes.

This source is a Press Release for MiO Fit’s Super Bowl advertising commercial. It explains how it is a zerio-calorie “customizable sports drink to make Super Bowl debut”. This
new MiO fit is a water enhancer that is now targeting an athletic market. It is enhanced with electrolytes that turn it into a sports drink, which is an additional market for MiO.
The new line is filled with electrolytes, B vitamins and zero calories. The source states that “it gives you what you want after breaking a sweat”. The source also explains how this
MiO Fit commercial will kick off an integrated marketing effort to introduce the new product, including strong digital and social media, PR, sampling, and consumer incentives.
There are two flavors: Arctic Grape and Berry Blast.

releases/water-is-the-top-adult-daily-beverage-choice-but-not-so-much-for-kids-and-teens-reports-npd/
This article explains how water is the best choice for a beverage. It focuses on how Michelle Obama is pushing for everyone, including children, to choose water as their choice
of beverage. Facts show that tap/filtered or bottled water is the top beverage at lunch and dinner, closely followed by soft drinks. Findings show that although this is true for
adults, children do not drink as much water as they should. Children usually drink more milk and teenagers usually opt for soft drinks (14% during all teen meals compared to
8% for all individuals). With the push from Michelle Obama and many consumers wanting to be more healthy, water is a great choice. To tie in with Just Girly water enhancers,
water will be a great top choice with a more flavorful and supplemental kick.
Tate & Lyle. "Three insights to food and beverage product success." Beverageworld.com. 2014.
http://www.beverageworld.com/userfiles/documents/TateLyle_Smoothie_Whitepaper.pdf
This source provided insights from Splenda on what to consider when developing liquid water enhancers. It pointed out that it is a relatively new market, first introduced in
2011. Consumers in all markets expect the best, and as a business, they should aim at trying to please them the best that they can. Consumers are demanding products that are
“good for you” but also “good tasting at the same time”. The source states that 90% of people base their purchase decision off of it is good tasting or not. This is where it will
relate to our market for Just Girly water enhancers. Not only will they add delicious taste to ordinary water, but they will also help girls in healthy and beautiful ways. The source
also touches on the challenges of the market, including knowing how to produce a product with enough flavor packed in while keeping it in a solution and knowing which acid
to use to preserve the product.
