1.1. Objective
There are two main objectives that have been sought to be accomplished.
1. Bring about awareness to parents and to children regarding sugar consumption.
2. Pressure Politicians into reducing the sugar consumption by putting a tax on Sugar.
2. Communications Strategy
A communication Strategy helps the organization align their marketing plans with their business goals. It focuses on reaching a predetermined set of results (Singhal & Brown, 2018). For the Saatchi & Saatchi to succeed in the marketing of the programs by the Australian Medical Association, a communication strategy is important in order to ensure that the communication part, which looks at advertisement, public relations and direct marketing is done perfectly.
2.1. Advertising
Advertisement is a communication strategy that introduces the
and to the public, educates the people and promotes the product (Danaher & Rossiter, 2011). In this case, the product would be the concept that sugar consumption, to a large extent is bad for the health of the children. Saatchi & Saatchi have been advertising the campaign as a public service announcement on all major Australian television channels. The channels, such as NBC, ABC children etc, are meant primarily for children and their parents. This will ensure that it reaches a wider audience. The organization is also running advertisement campaigns on major newspapers in Australia and on social media as well.
2.2. Direct Marketing
The organization has also used the method of direct marketing in order to market the concepts. It works by selling the product or service directly to the public (Keller, 2009). In this case, it would involve informing the public of the issues with sugar consumption directly to the public. The organization uses direct marketing by having volunteers go into public places, and having skits or events in public places during major weekends or events. This is being done on every weekend and holidays.
2.3. Public Relations
The maintenance of the public image of the company is called Public Relations (Finne & Grönroos, 2009). The public relations of the AMA have been handled by Saatchi & Saatchi. They have improved through the marketing strategies, such as speeches and conferences that have been organized by Saatchi & Saatchi all over the world. This makes the organization known in the academic circles throughout the world. The other strategies, such as the advertising campaigns and the direct marketing help improve the public image of the organization as well.
2. Media Mix
2.1. Digital Media Marketing Concept
Media Mix is a combination of communication channels that can be used by the organization. The organization has chosen to focus on Digital Media Marketing Concept in order to market the campaign and the message. The way that Saatchi & Saatchi have been doing this is using Earned media in order to increase the spread of the message.
2.2. Earned Media
Earned media has been defined as the online word or mouth (Andrews & Shrip, 2017). The organization is ensuring that there are maximum likes, retweets and comments about the content that is being put up on the Social media, and websites of AMA. They have ensured that every doctor has been recommending the decision for parents to cut back on sugar. Articles about the harmful effects of sugar have been promoted on various websites and maximum shares and recommendations have been spread on media sites. This process is ensuring that they get the attention of the public for the project as well. Earned media consists of the shares, likes and retweets (Yeshin, 2012). It has been helpful to the organization in ensuring that the public is able to understand why they should urge the government to...
