Executive Summary  
This document describes an integrated marketing communications campaign for Häagen-Dazs in 
their March-September 2017 advertising strategy. In order to target young urban professionals, 
this six month campaign will maintain a budget of 20.94 million dollars. This budget will allow the 
campaign to focus on consistently conveying the message that the avors of Häagen-Dazs are so 
unique that the uniqueness of the avors is an experience in itself. This message will be conveyed 
uniformly across all selected media with an emphasis on social media and consumer engagement. 
Situation Analysis 
Company Analysis 
In 1960, Reuben and Rose Mattus created the Häagen-Dazs brand and started out with only three 
ice cream avors. The rst store opened in 1976 in Brooklyn, New York and it soon became a hit. 
The brand’s early success and praise was created by word of mouth. Since then, the brand's 
popularity created loyal customers internationally and in the U.S. Today, Häagen-Dazs is owned in 
a joint venture between General Mills and Nestle. Häagen-Dazs is one of their most well 
performing brands internationally and in the United States. In 2016, Statista reported that 
Häagen-Dazs had $418.8 million in sales in the United States alone, making them one of the top 
selling ice creams. Additionally, their ice cream products are sold at retail stores and over 900 
Häagen-Dazs shops in over 50 countries. In all, Häagen-Dazs a signi cant impact internationally 
and in the U.S. 
As a company, Häagen-Dazs upholds its premium, innovative, sophisticated, and luxury ice cream 
image. From their packaging to marketing efforts, they make sure to keep a prestigious and 
exclusive image with high end sponsorships and unique avors you cannot nd everywhere. 
Internationally, Häagen-Dazs shops are seen as high-end and the ice cream products are 
considered very luxurious and high quality indulgences. According to Nestle, “The philosophy of 
Häagen-Dazs® Ice Cream is simple: nd the purest ingredients in the world and craft them into 
creamy ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt and gelato.” Häagen-Dazs lives up to this company 
philosophy by consistently delivering the best and purest ice cream around the world. 
Market Analysis 
The ice cream industry is growing, both nationally and globally. According to Statista, 
Häagen-Dazs has an 8.1% market share in the United States. However, the market for specialty ice 
cream shops and local, privately owned ice cream stores are becoming more signi cant and 
popular in the market. This can be seen as a potential threat to other big name ice cream brands. 
Furthermore, people are adopting a healthier lifestyle and not consuming as much unhealthy 
treats as they used to. This has led to a market trend in order to appeal to these consumers. 
Healthier options are now being introduced into the ice cream market with the options of 
 
  4 
 
hormone-free, no additives or preservatives, low or no calorie, and organic or reduced fat ice 
cream. In addition to these healthier options, frozen yogurt is dominating the industry with lower 
calories and less fat. People are more likely to purchase frozen yogurt because it is a healthier 
alternative to ice cream with better ingredients.  
Additionally, another trend in the market are the development of signature avors. In the ice 
cream industry, it is hard to differentiate companies if they sell the same avors. With the 
development of this trend, it helps differentiate brands and attract more sophisticated palates. 
New avor developments such as sweet and salty (salted caramel and salted vanilla avor 
combinations) and sweet and bitter(fruits, vegetables, cheese and alcohol) are up and coming in 
the industry. Overall, the market is growing with sales and new healthy options and avor 
developments in order to t the lifestyles of consumers. 
Competitor Analysis 
In the ice cream industry, there are many competitors that are in the market. More speci cally, 
Häagen-Dazs’ competitors are Ben and Jerry’s, Baskin Robbins, Cold Stone Creamery and Blue 
Bell Ice cream. All of these brands have relatively the same products, but consumers may be more 
likely to purchase brands they prefer over others. Ben and Jerry’s is Häagen-Dazs’ major 
competitor in the US, a very likeable brand with many unique ice cream avors. Below, there is a 
breakdown of the main competitors of Häagen-Dazs and the components of their company: 
 
 
Environment Analysis 
There are a few political factors that have the potential to have a strong effect on Häagen-Dazs. 
The year 2015 was a big year for frozen treat recalls industry-wide and this became well-known 
to the frozen treat consumers. As a result, ten percent of frozen treat buyers expressed concern 
over safety issues related to dairy products in 2015 according to Mintel. In addition to this, the 
 
  5 
 
FDA is currently in the process of updating the requirements of the nutrition fact panel. This 
update will force companies like Häagen-Dazs to display nutritional information with even more 
clarity and honesty than ever before. 
Häagen-Dazs has the potential to be affected by social and economic factors as well. Socially, there 
is a growing pressure among consumers to eat healthy. Not only are consumers seeking out 
“absence of negatives” and “better for you” options for themselves, they are also seeking these 
products out due to the social pressure of friends and family. In addition to this, disposable income 
has the potential to affect Häagen-Dazs economically. U.S. disposable personal income is 
increasing and as a result consumers are more likely to spend money on premium products like 
Häagen-Dazs. 
Consumer Analysis 
Given the fact that Häagen-Dazs upholds a premium and sophisticated image, adults are the main 
consumers for this ice cream. Even in their current advertising, it is known that they want to 
attract an older audience with the more mature look and sex appeal in their advertisements. More 
speci cally, women are the main consumers of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Furthermore, the 
consumers have college degrees and higher incomes of 60k+ and primarily live in the West and 
East coasts where consumption of Häagen-Dazs is the most. These consumers tend to be very 
loyal to the brand and purchase it regularly on routine shopping trips to the grocery store. Overall, 
the consumer of Häagen-Dazs tend to be more mature, high class individuals who live a 
comfortable lifestyle with a good amount of disposable income to regularly splurge on 
Häagen-Dazs ice cream.  
Product Analysis 
The Häagen-Dazs product line has transformed and expanded greatly since the company was rst 
started. In 1961 the original retail store only had three avors: chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Today 
the product line still maintains several traditional avors but has grown to include a wide array of 
unique avors. It is not uncommon to nd avors with names like Vanilla Tangerine and 
Shortbread, Bananas Foster and Vanilla Swiss Almond being sold. These avors among others are 
considered esoteric and speci c to the Häagen-Dazs brand.  
Häagen-Dazs has also extended their outside of ice creams to include gelato, bars, sorbet and 
frozen yogurt. These products are sold in equally just as unique avors, further establishing the 
Häagen-Dazs brand.  
Products of Häagen-Dazs can either be purchased at Häagen-Dazs shops or are sold in grocery 
stores and dedicated retail outlets. There are over nine hundred Häagen-Dazs shop locations in 
over fty countries worldwide. There are 250 shops across the United States, typically located in 
major cities.

in the global market 
● Premium image: Sophisticated, prestigious, 
luxurious

Issue Identi cation 
After carefully assessing Häagen-Dazs’ strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, there 
are some concluded insights into their marketing problems. First, Häagen-Dazs is already in the 
consumer’s evoked set. That being said, their advertisements do not need to raise awareness or 
encourage trial. Instead, their advertising simply needs to create desire. Second, Häagen-Dazs 
could better reach their target audience if they used their social media more effectively by 
engaging consumers with the brand. Lastly, potentially increasing advertising of Häagen-Dazs’ 
healthier sorbet and frozen yogurt options would allow them to have a healthier brand identity 
while still keeping their premium ice cream image.  
Taking these insights into consideration, we felt the most important problem Häagen-Dazs faces is 
their lack of social media presence. From our SWOT analysis, we have concluded the most pressing 
problem is that Häagen-Dazs has a weak social media following compared to its competitors. 
Social media will play a huge part in reaching this campaign’s target audience. Therefore, we need 
to implement tactics to solve this problem in this integrated marketing communications campaign. 
Below are representations of Häagen-Dazs’ followers compared to its competitor, Ben and Jerry’s: 
 
  7 
 
These graphs further represent and prove the issue that Häagen-Dazs’ is lacking with social media 
presence with only 45k followers on Instagram and over 1 million likes on Facebook. Overall, Ben 
and Jerry’s surpasses Häagen-Dazs by a substantial amount in followers as represented on the 
graph.   
 
Target Audience Selection

This campaign will target both men and women who are young, urban professionals. The 
integrated marketing communications will speci cally target those ages 25 to 44 who are 
considered midscale and have disposable income. The people in this target audience are college

most of which are without kids. 
Geographics

the target audience are living. The campaign will be nationwide but emphasized in urban and 
metro-mix areas such as New York, Los Angeles, San-Francisco, Raleigh, Dallas, Austin, Seattle, 
and Denver.

user status and purchase occasion. The campaign is rst off targeting those who seek quality and 
ways to indulge and relax in terms of bene ts sought. For user status, occasional and regular users 
if Häagen-Dazs will those selected to target. In terms of purchase occasion, those with regular 
purchasing occasion patterns will be targeted. Paying attention to the target audience’s behavior 
will help lead the direction of the campaign. 
Primary Research  
In order to better understand this campaign’s target audience, primary research was conducted by 
our team. The purpose of this research was to take a closer look at the media consumption of the 
target audience. Our main research objective was to identify which media and vehicles the target 
audience spends the most time absorbing content from. The research method we chose was 
individual interviews. These interviews gave us the opportunity get to know our target better and 
add a human element to our research data. 
We individually interviewed three members of our target audience, two male and one female. 
These participants were professionals in their mid-to-late twenties and living in Living in Chicago, 
Denver and New York. Using the funnel system to organize our interviews, we asked a variety of 
questions regarding media consumption. 
Our key ndings from these three interviews showed us that this target audience consumes most 
of their content and information through social media and online video streaming. When it came 
to social media speci cally, the participants expressed emphasis that Instagram and Snapchat 
 
  9 
 
were the most-used platforms amongst themselves and their friends. These research ndings gave 
us insight into our target audience and became key in helping us develop our media strategy. 
Campaign Objectives 
While keeping the target audience in mind, we want to meet speci c and measurable objectives 
for this IMC campaign in a 6 month period. First, we want to increase Häagen-Dazs’ overall social 
media following by 30%. More speci cally, we will focus on improving their presence and 
engagement on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Pinterest. With that being said, we also want 
to increase consumer engagement across all social media platforms by 20% at the end of this 
campaign. According to TalkWalker.com, Häagen-Dazs’ current overall social media engagement is 
92.2K, which is a number that can be greatly improved. More speci cally, this objective can be 
measured by looking at social media analytics after the campaign. Furthermore, we would like to 
increase brand loyalty and consumption of Häagen-Dazs ice cream in US, while still keeping their 
premium and luxury image. Lastly, we want to Increase sales 5% in the United States over this 6 
month IMC campaign period. These objectives can be met through implementing carefully 
planned strategies and tactics.  
Strategy and Tactics 
Our rst strategy is to target young urban professionals aged 25-44 in the top 7 U.S. DMAs. The 
DMAs with the most focus are New York, Los Angeles, San-Francisco-Oak-San Jose, 
Raleigh-Durham, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin, Seattle-Tacoma, and Denver. We plan on conveying a 
consistent message throughout our media and tactics that eating Häagen-Dazs ice cream is a 
unique experience. 
 
Social Media 
Utilizing social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and Pinterest are 
important tactics in this campaign. This will aid in consumer engagement with the brand as well as 
gain followers for the social media sites, which are two of our campaign objectives. We plan on 
placing ads on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. This will be a successful tactic for our campaign 
since social media is one of the most frequent media used by our target audience. Further, we will 
be utilizing snapchat as one of our major engagement tactics for this campaign. Häagen-Dazs will 
be on featured live stories, placed ads between snapchats and branded snapchat lters and 
geo lters which can be utilized with the sponsorship events. Overall, these tactics will meet our 
objectives for their social media presence as well as increased consumption and sales of the brand. 
Engagement Using Snapchat 
A speci c tactic the campaign will utilize in order to ful ll its engagement objective is Snapchat. 
Snapchat is known as a highly effective marketing tool because it engages the audience by 
promoting the interaction of users with brands. The app is used to share photos, videos, messages, 
doodles and stickers between friends on a mobile device and its users view Snapchat as a 
lightweight channel for sharing spontaneous experiences with trusted ties. In this campaign, 
 
  10 
 
Häagen-Dazs will use snapchat as a marketing tool by doing more than just placing advertisements 
on user’s feeds. Häagen-Dazs will advertise through the branded geo lters and face lters. Both of 
these advertisements will allow users to interact with and share the company’s branded content. 
In addition to this, Häagen-Dazs will utilize branded live stories. Snapchat’s live stories are curated 
streams of user generated content that allow speci c events to be shared with a much larger 
audiences. This type of advertising will be used in large cities and at events that Häagen-Dazs 
sponsors. 
 
Sponsorships 
Sponsoring food and wine festivals will be another effective tactic that will be implemented in this 
campaign. Häagen-Dazs will sponsor Austin Food and Wine Festival, Bite of Seattle and the New 
York City Food and Wine Festival, which are all popular food and wine festivals in the targeted 
DMAs. Food and wine festivals will be a good t for Häagen-Dazs because they both uphold a 
premium image together and Häagen-Dazs can take part in serving ice cream at these events with 
booths and samples. Additionally, the Häagen-Dazs products can be featured in other recipes at 
the food festivals which will be a form of product placement for the brand. Further, there will be 
Snapchat brand lters and geo lters at these events as well as sponsored live stories from these 
events on Snapchat. Overall, this will help promote social media engagement and increase 
consumption and sales of the Häagen-Dazs brand.  
 
Out of Home 
Billboard ads and transit advertising are other important tactics for this campaign . We plan to 
place billboard ads in the 7 major DMAS, which are highly populated urban areas. These DMAs 
include New York, Los Angeles, San-Francisco-Oak-San Jose, Raleigh-Durham, Dallas-Ft. Worth, 
Austin, Seattle-Tacoma, and Denver. Additionally, we will utilize transit advertising by placing ads 
on buses, which will be seen by passengers as well as pedestrians. Given the fact that our target 
audience are young urban professionals, they tend to commute on a daily basis and this tactic will 
be very effective in reaching this audience. Billboard ads and transit will be effective in repeated 
exposures and creating overall desire for the product. In all, this will help reach our objectives to 
increase brand loyalty and consumption as well as increase sales of Häagen-Dazs ice cream.  
 
Guerilla Marketing 
In the guerilla marketing efforts, we will speci cally focus on street art. This tactic brings a ‘wow’ 
factor to this campaign and it is a unique tactic that will draw attention. The street art will be 
geographically focused on our DMAs, which are big cities. This is important because big cities are 
where street art is more likely to occur and where there will be more people to see it, which will 
include our target audience. We plan to place Häagen-Dazs street art on sidewalks and buildings 
where we plan to incorporate the main message of the campaign and the Häagen-Dazs logo. This 
tactic will be effective in sparking engagement on social media. These unique drawings will attract 
people and they will be likely to take pictures of the street art and share it to social media sites 
such as Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat. This will create buzz about Häagen-Dazs as a brand and 
increase engagement on social media platforms. Overall, this will create a wild re effect of sharing 
on social media of these unique drawings in our focused DMAs.  
 
  11 
 
 
Video Streaming 
Video and banner advertisements on Hulu and YouTube will be utilized for this campaign. For 
Youtube, we will have TrueView ads, which are video ads that will be placed before videos start 
and inbetween videos. Additionally, masthead ads, or banner ads, will be placed on the Youtube 
site. Further, video ads will be used on Hulu during streaming tv shows. Our target audience are 
more likely to be using video streaming than television, which makes these tactics more effective 
in reaching this audience. Repeated exposure will encourage consumption of the product, and as a 
result, increase sales.

The idea of these creatives are that consumers are not just receiving ice cream, but they are also 
receiving an experience when they indulge in Häagen-Dazs ice cream.  
Creatives 
In our creatives, we utilized a current social media trend of sharing or posting unique and weird 
words that describe a certain feeling, situation or emotion. We felt this would tie in perfectly with 
the main message of our campaign. We wanted to convey that indulging in these unique avors is 
an experience. That being said, we carefully chose words that we we felt t the experiences of 
indulging in White Raspberry Chocolate Truf e ice cream and Belgian Dark Chocolate ice cream. 
Below is an example of what this social media posting trend looks like:  
 
 
With this in mind, we developed advertisements that describe certain moments or emotions that a 
consumer will experience while experiencing these ice cream avors. This will convey the message 
that their avors are unique, as well as the experience you will get from indulging in Häagen-Dazs 
ice cream. Overall, we want to convey that the unique avors are an experience in itself.

Media Planning 
Media Objectives and Strategy 
Target Audience 
The objective concerning target audience is to reach the target market (midscale young urban 
professionals aged 25-44 with disposable income) in a cost-ef cient and effective manner. This 
will be accomplished by the strategy of purchasing a mix of digital, nontraditional, and traditional 
media that are relevant to and highly consumed by the target audience with an added emphasis on 
social media. 
Geographic Considerations 
Keeping geographics in mind, an objective of the campaign is to target top areas in the United 
States where high concentrations of the target market live, work, and commute. The strategy to 
ful ll this will be to target the New York, Los Angeles, San-Francisco-Oak-San Jose, 
Raleigh-Durham, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin, Seattle-Tacoma, and Denver DMAs. 
Seasonality 
In terms of seasonality, the campaign will strive to increase media reach and exposure at time of 
year when consumers are most likely to buy ice cream. This objective will be possible through a 
media strategy that involves heavy-up advertising in May, June, July and August, when overall U.S. 
temperatures are highest. 
Scheduling 
The scheduling objective of the campaign is to maintain constant advertising with heavy-up in 
months June-August. The strategy for this will be a continuous schedule when looking at campaign 
as a whole, but use a mix of scheduling methods when considering individual media. 
Creative Implications 
Creatively the objective of this campaign is to emphasize a high quality product and a premium 
brand image. The media strategy to accomplish this will require the purchase of media and 
vehicles that possess a sense of luxury and sophistication to further establish brand image. 
Budget 
The budget objective is to use the budget of $20.94 million to reach the target market through a 
mix of media. This will be done by allocating 40 percent of the budget for social media, 13 percent 
for billboards, 12 percent for transit, 11 percent for sponsorships, nine percent for video, and ve 
percent for guerilla marketing. 
 
 
 
 
 
  15 
 
Media Budget 
With a budget of $20.94 million and while 
allowing for a ten percent contingency 
fund, this campaign will allocate 
$8,376,000 to social media, $2,722,200 to 
billboards, $2,512,800 to transit, 
$2,303,400 to sponsorships, $1,884,600 
to video streaming and $1,047,000 to 
guerilla marketing. Below is a breakdown 
of budget allocation by percent. 
Total budget: $20,940,000 
 
Media Flowchart 
 
Schedule Justi cation 
In our primary research we discovered that Instagram and Snapchat are the most-used social 
media platforms amongst our target audience. Because of this, Häagen-Dazs will be advertised 
continuously on Snapchat and Instagram during this six month campaign, while Facebook and 
Pinterest will be have a ighting scheduling method. Video streaming and out of home will use a 
pulsing method so that heavy-up advertising will take place in the warmest months, when ice 
cream consumption is the highest. The Häagen-Dazs sponsored events are happening periodically 
throughout the summer and as a result, a ighting scheduling method will be used. To ll in the 
gaps between these sponsorships, guerilla marketing will take place in the form of a ighting 
schedule as well, to continuous advertise the unique message of Häagen-Dazs. 
 
  16 
 
Conclusion 
Overall, the campaign message will be conveyed uniformly across all selected media with an 
emphasis on social media and consumer engagement. We plan to allocate 20.94 million dollars to 
this campaign and successfully execute our strategies, while meeting the set objectives. We feel as 
though this campaign will effectively reach our target audience with the chosen media and tactics 
that are being implemented throughout the campaign period. The execution of this campaign will 
help consumers understand that they are not just purchasing ice cream, but they are receiving a 
unique experience in every indulgent bite.

  • 3.     3          Executive Summary   This document describes an integrated marketing communications campaign for Häagen-Dazs in  their March-September 2017 advertising strategy. In order to target young urban professionals,  this six month campaign will maintain a budget of 20.94 million dollars. This budget will allow the  campaign to focus on consistently conveying the message that the avors of Häagen-Dazs are so  unique that the uniqueness of the avors is an experience in itself. This message will be conveyed  uniformly across all selected media with an emphasis on social media and consumer engagement.  Situation Analysis  Company Analysis  In 1960, Reuben and Rose Mattus created the Häagen-Dazs brand and started out with only three  ice cream avors. The rst store opened in 1976 in Brooklyn, New York and it soon became a hit.  The brand’s early success and praise was created by word of mouth. Since then, the brand's  popularity created loyal customers internationally and in the U.S. Today, Häagen-Dazs is owned in  a joint venture between General Mills and Nestle. Häagen-Dazs is one of their most well  performing brands internationally and in the United States. In 2016, Statista reported that  Häagen-Dazs had $418.8 million in sales in the United States alone, making them one of the top  selling ice creams. Additionally, their ice cream products are sold at retail stores and over 900  Häagen-Dazs shops in over 50 countries. In all, Häagen-Dazs a signi cant impact internationally  and in the U.S.  As a company, Häagen-Dazs upholds its premium, innovative, sophisticated, and luxury ice cream  image. From their packaging to marketing efforts, they make sure to keep a prestigious and  exclusive image with high end sponsorships and unique avors you cannot nd everywhere.  Internationally, Häagen-Dazs shops are seen as high-end and the ice cream products are  considered very luxurious and high quality indulgences. According to Nestle, “The philosophy of  Häagen-Dazs® Ice Cream is simple: nd the purest ingredients in the world and craft them into  creamy ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt and gelato.” Häagen-Dazs lives up to this company  philosophy by consistently delivering the best and purest ice cream around the world.  Market Analysis  The ice cream industry is growing, both nationally and globally. According to Statista,  Häagen-Dazs has an 8.1% market share in the United States. However, the market for specialty ice  cream shops and local, privately owned ice cream stores are becoming more signi cant and  popular in the market. This can be seen as a potential threat to other big name ice cream brands.  Furthermore, people are adopting a healthier lifestyle and not consuming as much unhealthy  treats as they used to. This has led to a market trend in order to appeal to these consumers.  Healthier options are now being introduced into the ice cream market with the options of 
  • 4.     4    hormone-free, no additives or preservatives, low or no calorie, and organic or reduced fat ice  cream. In addition to these healthier options, frozen yogurt is dominating the industry with lower  calories and less fat. People are more likely to purchase frozen yogurt because it is a healthier  alternative to ice cream with better ingredients.   Additionally, another trend in the market are the development of signature avors. In the ice  cream industry, it is hard to differentiate companies if they sell the same avors. With the  development of this trend, it helps differentiate brands and attract more sophisticated palates.  New avor developments such as sweet and salty (salted caramel and salted vanilla avor  combinations) and sweet and bitter(fruits, vegetables, cheese and alcohol) are up and coming in  the industry. Overall, the market is growing with sales and new healthy options and avor  developments in order to t the lifestyles of consumers.  Competitor Analysis  In the ice cream industry, there are many competitors that are in the market. More speci cally,  Häagen-Dazs’ competitors are Ben and Jerry’s, Baskin Robbins, Cold Stone Creamery and Blue  Bell Ice cream. All of these brands have relatively the same products, but consumers may be more  likely to purchase brands they prefer over others. Ben and Jerry’s is Häagen-Dazs’ major  competitor in the US, a very likeable brand with many unique ice cream avors. Below, there is a  breakdown of the main competitors of Häagen-Dazs and the components of their company:      Environment Analysis  There are a few political factors that have the potential to have a strong effect on Häagen-Dazs.  The year 2015 was a big year for frozen treat recalls industry-wide and this became well-known  to the frozen treat consumers. As a result, ten percent of frozen treat buyers expressed concern  over safety issues related to dairy products in 2015 according to Mintel. In addition to this, the 
  • 5.     5    FDA is currently in the process of updating the requirements of the nutrition fact panel. This  update will force companies like Häagen-Dazs to display nutritional information with even more  clarity and honesty than ever before.  Häagen-Dazs has the potential to be affected by social and economic factors as well. Socially, there  is a growing pressure among consumers to eat healthy. Not only are consumers seeking out  “absence of negatives” and “better for you” options for themselves, they are also seeking these  products out due to the social pressure of friends and family. In addition to this, disposable income  has the potential to affect Häagen-Dazs economically. U.S. disposable personal income is  increasing and as a result consumers are more likely to spend money on premium products like  Häagen-Dazs.  Consumer Analysis  Given the fact that Häagen-Dazs upholds a premium and sophisticated image, adults are the main  consumers for this ice cream. Even in their current advertising, it is known that they want to  attract an older audience with the more mature look and sex appeal in their advertisements. More  speci cally, women are the main consumers of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Furthermore, the  consumers have college degrees and higher incomes of 60k+ and primarily live in the West and  East coasts where consumption of Häagen-Dazs is the most. These consumers tend to be very  loyal to the brand and purchase it regularly on routine shopping trips to the grocery store. Overall,  the consumer of Häagen-Dazs tend to be more mature, high class individuals who live a  comfortable lifestyle with a good amount of disposable income to regularly splurge on  Häagen-Dazs ice cream.   Product Analysis  The Häagen-Dazs product line has transformed and expanded greatly since the company was rst  started. In 1961 the original retail store only had three avors: chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Today  the product line still maintains several traditional avors but has grown to include a wide array of  unique avors. It is not uncommon to nd avors with names like Vanilla Tangerine and  Shortbread, Bananas Foster and Vanilla Swiss Almond being sold. These avors among others are  considered esoteric and speci c to the Häagen-Dazs brand.   Häagen-Dazs has also extended their outside of ice creams to include gelato, bars, sorbet and  frozen yogurt. These products are sold in equally just as unique avors, further establishing the  Häagen-Dazs brand.   Products of Häagen-Dazs can either be purchased at Häagen-Dazs shops or are sold in grocery  stores and dedicated retail outlets. There are over nine hundred Häagen-Dazs shop locations in  over fty countries worldwide. There are 250 shops across the United States, typically located in  major cities.         
  • 6.     6    SWOT Analysis    Strengths  Weaknesses  ● Products are high quality/natural with no  additives, GMOs, or arti cial avors  ● Innovative brand: Introduce new and unique  avors to attract wide range of people  ● Well-recognized brand with a strong position  in the global market  ● Premium image: Sophisticated, prestigious,  luxurious  ● Convenient: sold in shops and retail stores  ● In the consumer’s evoked Set  ● Expensive and high in price    ● Ice cream is higher in fat and calories    ● Advertising is mostly print ads    ● Don’t have a strong social media following on  instagram/twitter/facebook    Opportunities  Threats  ● Increase the number of Häagen-Dazs shop  locations  ● 250 locations in US  ● Expand advertising to more mass and digital  media  ● Introduce lower calorie ice creams to compete  with other companies  ● Advertise their other non-ice cream products  such as gelato/frozen yogurt/sorbet and  emphasize the healthier alternatives    ● Ice cream sales are lower in the winter, fall,  and spring than they are in the summer    ● Highly competitive industry  Consumers are becoming increasingly  concerned about their health    ● Competitors are introducing healthier ice  cream options   ○ Breyers Light  ○ Frozen Yogurt      Issue Identi cation  After carefully assessing Häagen-Dazs’ strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, there  are some concluded insights into their marketing problems. First, Häagen-Dazs is already in the  consumer’s evoked set. That being said, their advertisements do not need to raise awareness or  encourage trial. Instead, their advertising simply needs to create desire. Second, Häagen-Dazs  could better reach their target audience if they used their social media more effectively by  engaging consumers with the brand. Lastly, potentially increasing advertising of Häagen-Dazs’  healthier sorbet and frozen yogurt options would allow them to have a healthier brand identity  while still keeping their premium ice cream image.   Taking these insights into consideration, we felt the most important problem Häagen-Dazs faces is  their lack of social media presence. From our SWOT analysis, we have concluded the most pressing  problem is that Häagen-Dazs has a weak social media following compared to its competitors.  Social media will play a huge part in reaching this campaign’s target audience. Therefore, we need  to implement tactics to solve this problem in this integrated marketing communications campaign.  Below are representations of Häagen-Dazs’ followers compared to its competitor, Ben and Jerry’s: 
  • 7.     7    These graphs further represent and prove the issue that Häagen-Dazs’ is lacking with social media  presence with only 45k followers on Instagram and over 1 million likes on Facebook. Overall, Ben  and Jerry’s surpasses Häagen-Dazs by a substantial amount in followers as represented on the  graph.      Target Audience Selection  Demographics  This campaign will target both men and women who are young, urban professionals. The  integrated marketing communications will speci cally target those ages 25 to 44 who are  considered midscale and have disposable income. The people in this target audience are college  graduates with management and professional jobs. This target includes both singles and couples,  most of which are without kids.  Geographics  In terms of geographic segmentation, the campaign will target areas where large concentrations of  the target audience are living. The campaign will be nationwide but emphasized in urban and  metro-mix areas such as New York, Los Angeles, San-Francisco, Raleigh, Dallas, Austin, Seattle,  and Denver.  Psychographics  The psychographics of this campaign’s target audience are based off of Nielsen PRIZM’s  MyBestSegments and the VALS survey.         
  • 8.     8    Nielsen PRIZM  Young and In uential  ● Very tech-savvy  ● In uential in their communities  ● In uential on social media    Urban Achievers  ● Active in their communities  ● Value having an established career  ● Are interested in being up-to-date with  their technology  VALS Survey  Experiencers  ● Want everything  ● Are rst in and rst out of trend  adoption  ● Are up on the latest fashions  ● Love physical activity (are  sensation-seeking)  ● See themselves as very sociable  ● Are spontaneous    Achievers  ● Have a "me rst” attitude  ● Believe money is the source of authority  ● Are committed to their job  ● Are hard working and professional  ● Set the status quo  ● Are peer conscious  ● Value technology that provides  productivity  Behavioristic Factors  The behavioristic factors of the campaign’s target audience is being segmented by bene ts sought,  user status and purchase occasion. The campaign is rst off targeting those who seek quality and  ways to indulge and relax in terms of bene ts sought. For user status, occasional and regular users  if Häagen-Dazs will those selected to target. In terms of purchase occasion, those with regular  purchasing occasion patterns will be targeted. Paying attention to the target audience’s behavior  will help lead the direction of the campaign.  Primary Research   In order to better understand this campaign’s target audience, primary research was conducted by  our team. The purpose of this research was to take a closer look at the media consumption of the  target audience. Our main research objective was to identify which media and vehicles the target  audience spends the most time absorbing content from. The research method we chose was  individual interviews. These interviews gave us the opportunity get to know our target better and  add a human element to our research data.  We individually interviewed three members of our target audience, two male and one female.  These participants were professionals in their mid-to-late twenties and living in Living in Chicago,  Denver and New York. Using the funnel system to organize our interviews, we asked a variety of  questions regarding media consumption.  Our key ndings from these three interviews showed us that this target audience consumes most  of their content and information through social media and online video streaming. When it came  to social media speci cally, the participants expressed emphasis that Instagram and Snapchat 
  • 9.     9    were the most-used platforms amongst themselves and their friends. These research ndings gave  us insight into our target audience and became key in helping us develop our media strategy.  Campaign Objectives  While keeping the target audience in mind, we want to meet speci c and measurable objectives  for this IMC campaign in a 6 month period. First, we want to increase Häagen-Dazs’ overall social  media following by 30%. More speci cally, we will focus on improving their presence and  engagement on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Pinterest. With that being said, we also want  to increase consumer engagement across all social media platforms by 20% at the end of this  campaign. According to TalkWalker.com, Häagen-Dazs’ current overall social media engagement is  92.2K, which is a number that can be greatly improved. More speci cally, this objective can be  measured by looking at social media analytics after the campaign. Furthermore, we would like to  increase brand loyalty and consumption of Häagen-Dazs ice cream in US, while still keeping their  premium and luxury image. Lastly, we want to Increase sales 5% in the United States over this 6  month IMC campaign period. These objectives can be met through implementing carefully  planned strategies and tactics.   Strategy and Tactics  Our rst strategy is to target young urban professionals aged 25-44 in the top 7 U.S. DMAs. The  DMAs with the most focus are New York, Los Angeles, San-Francisco-Oak-San Jose,  Raleigh-Durham, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin, Seattle-Tacoma, and Denver. We plan on conveying a  consistent message throughout our media and tactics that eating Häagen-Dazs ice cream is a  unique experience.    Social Media  Utilizing social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and Pinterest are  important tactics in this campaign. This will aid in consumer engagement with the brand as well as  gain followers for the social media sites, which are two of our campaign objectives. We plan on  placing ads on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. This will be a successful tactic for our campaign  since social media is one of the most frequent media used by our target audience. Further, we will  be utilizing snapchat as one of our major engagement tactics for this campaign. Häagen-Dazs will  be on featured live stories, placed ads between snapchats and branded snapchat lters and  geo lters which can be utilized with the sponsorship events. Overall, these tactics will meet our  objectives for their social media presence as well as increased consumption and sales of the brand.  Engagement Using Snapchat  A speci c tactic the campaign will utilize in order to ful ll its engagement objective is Snapchat.  Snapchat is known as a highly effective marketing tool because it engages the audience by  promoting the interaction of users with brands. The app is used to share photos, videos, messages,  doodles and stickers between friends on a mobile device and its users view Snapchat as a  lightweight channel for sharing spontaneous experiences with trusted ties. In this campaign, 
  • 10.     10    Häagen-Dazs will use snapchat as a marketing tool by doing more than just placing advertisements  on user’s feeds. Häagen-Dazs will advertise through the branded geo lters and face lters. Both of  these advertisements will allow users to interact with and share the company’s branded content.  In addition to this, Häagen-Dazs will utilize branded live stories. Snapchat’s live stories are curated  streams of user generated content that allow speci c events to be shared with a much larger  audiences. This type of advertising will be used in large cities and at events that Häagen-Dazs  sponsors.    Sponsorships  Sponsoring food and wine festivals will be another effective tactic that will be implemented in this  campaign. Häagen-Dazs will sponsor Austin Food and Wine Festival, Bite of Seattle and the New  York City Food and Wine Festival, which are all popular food and wine festivals in the targeted  DMAs. Food and wine festivals will be a good t for Häagen-Dazs because they both uphold a  premium image together and Häagen-Dazs can take part in serving ice cream at these events with  booths and samples. Additionally, the Häagen-Dazs products can be featured in other recipes at  the food festivals which will be a form of product placement for the brand. Further, there will be  Snapchat brand lters and geo lters at these events as well as sponsored live stories from these  events on Snapchat. Overall, this will help promote social media engagement and increase  consumption and sales of the Häagen-Dazs brand.     Out of Home  Billboard ads and transit advertising are other important tactics for this campaign . We plan to  place billboard ads in the 7 major DMAS, which are highly populated urban areas. These DMAs  include New York, Los Angeles, San-Francisco-Oak-San Jose, Raleigh-Durham, Dallas-Ft. Worth,  Austin, Seattle-Tacoma, and Denver. Additionally, we will utilize transit advertising by placing ads  on buses, which will be seen by passengers as well as pedestrians. Given the fact that our target  audience are young urban professionals, they tend to commute on a daily basis and this tactic will  be very effective in reaching this audience. Billboard ads and transit will be effective in repeated  exposures and creating overall desire for the product. In all, this will help reach our objectives to  increase brand loyalty and consumption as well as increase sales of Häagen-Dazs ice cream.     Guerilla Marketing  In the guerilla marketing efforts, we will speci cally focus on street art. This tactic brings a ‘wow’  factor to this campaign and it is a unique tactic that will draw attention. The street art will be  geographically focused on our DMAs, which are big cities. This is important because big cities are  where street art is more likely to occur and where there will be more people to see it, which will  include our target audience. We plan to place Häagen-Dazs street art on sidewalks and buildings  where we plan to incorporate the main message of the campaign and the Häagen-Dazs logo. This  tactic will be effective in sparking engagement on social media. These unique drawings will attract  people and they will be likely to take pictures of the street art and share it to social media sites  such as Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat. This will create buzz about Häagen-Dazs as a brand and  increase engagement on social media platforms. Overall, this will create a wild re effect of sharing  on social media of these unique drawings in our focused DMAs.  
  • 11.     11      Video Streaming  Video and banner advertisements on Hulu and YouTube will be utilized for this campaign. For  Youtube, we will have TrueView ads, which are video ads that will be placed before videos start  and inbetween videos. Additionally, masthead ads, or banner ads, will be placed on the Youtube  site. Further, video ads will be used on Hulu during streaming tv shows. Our target audience are  more likely to be using video streaming than television, which makes these tactics more effective  in reaching this audience. Repeated exposure will encourage consumption of the product, and as a  result, increase sales.     Creative Brief  Objective  Make consumers understand that the uniqueness of Häagen-Dazs’ avors is an experience in  itself, which makes it worth the extra cost compared to its competitors.  Bene ts of Product  Many unique and diverse avors  Satis es the need for a sweet treat  Premium quality ice cream  Target Audience  Primary Target  ● Young urban professionals  ● Midscale income with disposable income  ● Men and women  ● Ages 25 to 44  ● Prizm Segments: Young and In uential and Urban Achievers  ● VALS Segments: Experiencers and Achievers  ● Health conscious adults who prefer natural ingredients and low fat substitutes.  ● No arti cial colorings or additives, naturally aromatized ingredients (ex.

We felt this would tie in perfectly with  the main message of our campaign. We wanted to convey that indulging in these unique avors is  an experience. That being said, we carefully chose words that we we felt t the experiences of  indulging in White Raspberry Chocolate Truf e ice cream and Belgian Dark Chocolate ice cream.  Below is an example of what this social media posting trend looks like:       With this in mind, we developed advertisements that describe certain moments or emotions that a  consumer will experience while experiencing these ice cream avors. This will convey the message  that their avors are unique, as well as the experience you will get from indulging in Häagen-Dazs  ice cream. Overall, we want to convey that the unique avors are an experience in itself.

This objective will be possible through a  media strategy that involves heavy-up advertising in May, June, July and August, when overall U.S.  temperatures are highest.  Scheduling  The scheduling objective of the campaign is to maintain constant advertising with heavy-up in  months June-August.

Because of this, Häagen-Dazs will be advertised  continuously on Snapchat and Instagram during this six month campaign, while Facebook and  Pinterest will be have a ighting scheduling method. Video streaming and out of home will use a  pulsing method so that heavy-up advertising will take place in the warmest months, when ice  cream consumption is the highest. The Häagen-Dazs sponsored events are happening periodically  throughout the summer and as a result, a ighting scheduling method will be used. To ll in the  gaps between these sponsorships, guerilla marketing will take place in the form of a ighting  schedule as well, to continuous advertise the unique message of Häagen-Dazs.
