iSNACK LAUNCH

When the Australians’ favorite food emblem, Kraft’s Vegemite had run the “How Do You Love Your Vegemite?” campaign, on social media and local communities, the results that showed up were exceptional. It was the largest marketing campaign Kraft has ever made. The key insight that Kraft had noticed, as a key result of campaign was that Vegemite users loved using it while mixing it with other foods like avocado and tomato. And for the classic portion of mothers and children in Australia and New Zealand, Vegemite was mixed and eaten with Philadelphia Cream Cheese (which is also a Kraft’s well-known brand). This mixture’s recipe, from the consumer’s perspective, was a healthy choice. This made Kraft to think upon a product that was smoother and easier to spread. It wanted to make a lower-fat product. Resulting, the Vegemite-cream cheese combination had been released into the market. From the Kraft’s bureau, this was a remarkable move they’d made in order to bring out something that’d be loved by most of the Vegemite lovers. Kraft witnessed a sale of 2 million jars. This mixture was initially launched namelessly. Later, the “Name Me Campaign” that

In order to sustain in the different markets and retain the core values of the brand, it is always something that has to be delivered to the audience more than just what they expect and more than just a product. The situation that Vegemite had fallen into is non-commendable. Having heard such an unexpected market response to the launch of iSnack 2.0, the brand team should either change the name of the new Vegemite to something which people love or to stick to the name and promote the concepts and quality behind the product. There are again two possibilities. The consumers would either accept the name in long run, digesting the concept and healthiness behind the new Vegemite or the consumers’ number would fall off without bearing the

    In 2014, General Mills released a commercial on television as well as a video on youtube about their cereal Cheerios, that featured a biracial family with a mom, dad and their young daughter. This ad was showing the common message that this campaign has created which is when you eat Cheerios, you are reducing your risk of heart disease. This ad not only highlighted the topic of heart health but also the social topic of the rise and acceptance of biracial families and individuals such as the daughter in the ad. The Cheerios Heart Healthy campaign used a two headed front in order to bolster their credibility by appearing wholesome in terms of health and social awareness.

    A Classic Case In the early 1900s, Crisco was chemically crafted by candle maker William Procter and his partner James Gamble, who introduced their product during an age when natural foods and lard were the mainstream. Despite this beginning friction, Crisco slipped its way past the animal products that had been used for centuries in baking and frying in just months after its launching. The demand for this processed vegetable oil rose to such a degree that soon there was not enough product to meet the America’s voracious appetite.…

    While viewing the video “Kraft leading the Way” demonstrates the beginning steps of Kraft Foods implementing changes to make Kraft products healthier.

    Fries taste good because fast food companies use artificial flavoring and beef tallow oils in their fries which ensures uniform taste, customer satisfaction, and competition. In the article "Why Fries Taste So Good," the author, Eric Schlosser, argues that the main factor in the success of the fast food industry is artificial flavoring and food coloring. He explains how chemical flavors created by flavorists give fast food its taste and smell, and explains the difference between artificial and natural flavors.

This spreadable delicacy quickly became apart of Australian culture, and now we are trying to integrate it into the Canadian market. Before Vegemite can enter the Canadian market, some changes have to be made in order for it to be successful. The strength of Vegemite’s flavour will need to lessened for the Canadian palate and its appearance must be altered to a lighter brown rather than the dark brown. The primary target market for this product will be females in their 30-­50’s, with children aged 2­-15 and a mid­-high income.…

In their microenvironment, Farm Boy faces a high-level of reliance on their produce suppliers. Anticipation of environmental disasters like floods or droughts may impact FB’s margins or force higher prices; however, FB’s efforts to consistently maintain strong relations with their local suppliers may mitigate the effects of this. Furthermore, a positive public perception of FB is critical to uphold, and validates continuous efforts to create an unmatched customer experience with their brand.
