• Macaroni is not as popular in the households of the TG as noodles

• Macaroni is perceived to be a foreign/Italian food and more care is taken when choosing a pasta/macaroni brand as consumers who are a bit discerning like to go for foreign brands

• Z macaroni is used because of its availability• For evening snacks, the TG go for fried foods

(shingara, samosa, fried chicken, Mughlai paratha, etc)

What’s the Block?

• Z is known as a Pakistani brand; not perceived to be Italian to those who already have the habit of making pasta at home

• Macaroni is not part of the regular food habit

What would change the consumer perception and habit?

• Encourage healthy Z macaroni instead of fried/fast foods

• Ways to cook Z Macaroni to drive usage for those who are at the unaware or intending to buy stage

• For those who are already in the habit but select a foreign/Italian brand, have Z macaroni endorsed by an Italian chef

What would change the consumer perception and habit?

Make way into the snacks category

Make way into the meals category

Attack fried foods and show how healthy is boiled Z macaroni

Endorsement and recipes from an Italian chef to lend credibility and trigger usage

Influence TG at the

unaware/intending to buy

stage to make it a regular

habit

a) Influence TG already used to macaroni but

reach for foreign brands

b) Move TG from snacks to meals

space

What’s the main idea?

Say No to fast foods and Yes to healthy Z Macaroni!

Z Macaroni brand should primarily stand for Health and Hygiene.That the food is from an Italian origin should be the secondary task of communication and an endorsement by an Italian chef will create greater association with Italy.
