Agency Philosophy Statement – Tab into the Galaxy Team

The most important aspect of our agency’s work is our commitment and communication with our consumers. We focus on a specific demographics, and based on their personalities, lifestyles, interests, etc. we narrow down our marketing techniques to attack those ideas and approaches that we feel would be most influential in their decision making process. We concentrate heavily on the level of integrity and loyalty towards our consumers and each other, and refrain from releasing information that can be misleading. We want our consumers to be able to trust us, and through building that trust, we gain personal relationships with them as well.

   IMC Plan
   
   • 
     The following IMC Plan for the Samsung Galaxy Tab has been prepared with the mindset of presenting an effective advertising campaign for this brand new product. Throughout the deliberation of this campaign, the advertising agency worked diligently in making this tablet stand out from its leading competitor, the iPad. After studying various targets, the advertising agency realized that the most sufficient and attractive target demographic for this product is the one presented below. Our main objective was to present this product as its own entity and not a replica of its competitor. As a result, our main point is that the Galaxy Tab may have not been the first, but it definitely perfected tablet technology. Overall, we came up with a series of promotional strategies and delivery of message mediums that would work best for this product. This IMC Plan is expected to be successful in that the information presented throughout this brief suggests an effective campaign.

  Threats
