MOONSTRUCK CHOCOLATE
MARKETING PLAN 2012CREATED AND PRESENTED BY
The average consumer sees hundreds if not thousands of advertisements per day, most of which they have been conditioned to ignore. To be successful, brands must reach out to consumers where they least expect it - in the street, in their car, anywhere they would not expect a brand message.
At Nitty Gritty, we are a group of similarly forward-thinking creatives and managers who work to go beyond the typical means of advertising to reach consumers through creative non-traditional tactics. Rather than pursuing the sometimes prohibitively expensive markets of television and print, we utilize the relatively free medium of viral media coupled with creative and provocative regional campaigns to propagate a brand message on a far greater scale than the initial investment would garner in traditional ad buys.
At Nitty Gritty, we have updated the meaning of full service agency to include the creative and technological needs of today’s consumer. We know that traditional advertising isn’t enough in today’s market and we are willing to do what it takes to adapt because at Nitty Gritty, we get down to it.

This campaign book represents Nitty Gritty’s recommended multi-channel product launch and Tumbled Chocolate marketing campaign for Moonstruck Chocolate. The Tumbled Chocolate campaign runs from May 1, 2012 to July 31, 2012 and is designed to increase the sales of Tumbled Chocolate and establish a framework for future product launches. The campaign will be centered on how eating a Moonstruck product has the ability to make any mundane activity a luxurious one. These moments of indulgence are dubbed “Moonstruck Moments”. The campaign will capitalize on the quality of Moonstruck’s products and how that quality has been expertly translated into a small, snackable, everyday treat. Tumbled Chocolate allows consumers to have a Moonstruck Moment in the every day--they no longer have to wait for a special occasion to splurge on a Moonstruck truffle or treat, they can have that same gourmet experience in their everyday routine. The campaign will focus on two core audiences: consumer and business-to-business and will include a plan for internal pre-launch strategy as well. Nitty Gritty is confident that the three-month Moonstruck Moment Campaign will show both groups how to have their own Moonstruck Moment, and ensure the success of Tumbled Chocolate and any future product launches.

Chocolate Affiliation Is a chocolate enthusiast and purchases Moonstruck and other chocolate brands regularly
MotivationEnjoys premium chocolate on a daily basis
How to reach- Moonstruck Stores- Local publications- Events (First Thursday)- Social Media
StoryCharlene loves all things Portland--chocolate included. Charlene and her husband can be found downtown at local events like First Thursday and the Farmers Market. They are always on the lookout for new things to do around the city. Sometimes she goes out of her way to buy premium chocolate at Moonstruck Cafés but generally buys chocolate at upscale markets such as Whole Foods. Tumbled Chocolates are perfect for Charlene because she is able to keep them at work and snack throughout the day.

MotivationWants to impress others with premium chocolates for special occasions
How to reach - Local print publications- Local news websites- Local radio
StoryAdam is a middle class dad who works to support family. He buys premium chocolate for special occasions, but due to his busy schedule, he doesn’t spend time comparing brands. He likes buying local Oregon products but product price point influences his decision. Tumbled Chocolate is perfect for Adam because its relative price point is lower than Moonstruck truffles while still maintaining the quality he expects.

Fresh Rainier cherries, Northwest blueberries, Oregon hazelnuts, locally roasted co�ee beans, malt balls, and caramels all covered in the best chocolate money can buy. Our Tumbled Chocolates have a knack for innovation with a respect for tradition. They are made in the spirit of the earliest confectioners from Egypt who rolled fruit and nuts in sugar to give them a sweet outer coating. Nowhere else can capture our passion for quality quite like Portland, the city where craftsmanship is something to be respected and exceptional quality is a requirement.
Come in for a free sample and have your own Moonstruck Moment because after all, words can only say so much while a taste speaks volumes.
Welcome to Portland! Introducing...Tumbled Chocolate

It’s a passionate town, with a pension for living in the moment.
Our Moment came one night in 1993 when, on a whim, a Portland husband and wife decided to quit
their desk jobs and start making chocolate - chocolate that captured the Portland spirit of quality and craftsmanship.
Nearly two decades later and we’re still doing chocolate the same way: by hand, and with the best ingredients around. From our sea salt caramels to custom truffles, we have remained dedicated to making innovative sweets and making them well.
Stay Informed!

FACT: Oregon Public Broadcasting is ranked among the most popular stations for Portland area listeners ages 35-54 with an average annual income of $50,000-$70,000.*
IDEA: Promote new products by advertising on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s website for a minimum of four weeks. This will reach our target demographic and because OPB limits the amount of advertisements on it’s website, Moonstruck’s buy will have less competition and therefore yield a higher return on investment. The advertisement will link back to Moonstruck’s website which will be promoting Tumbled Chocolate on its homepage.

Product Launch: Social Media Editorial CalendarOVERVIEW: When launching a new product, Moonstruck Chocolate Co. must take advantage of its pre-existing fan base on social networking sites. This editorial calendar provides a guide for social media posts during the product launch. The calendar is focused on promoting new products via Facebook but it is recommended to apply the same content themes to other social networking sites such as Twitter.
Moonstruck should post one to two comments/posts on their Facebook page per day and tweet one to four times per day on Twitter. To capture the largest audience Moonstruck should post/tweet during morning hours around 9 AM, during lunch at 12 PM, and little after work hours at 5:30 PM.
