Grow Snapple trademark volume in the U.S by 7%

Grow heavy user buying rate from 9x to 10x per year by growing brand relevance from 50% to 75%

Grow light user buying rate from 1x to 3x per year by increasing top of mind brand awareness from 15% to 30%

Executive SummarySnapple, That's the Stuff!Waking up and realizing you can go back to sleep before your alarm... That's the Stuff! Getting to the buffet line as your favorite food is replenished... That's the Stuff! Flipping to a TV channel just as your favorite show comes back on... That's the Stuff! These little moments add a bright spot to everyone's day. Snapple's target, Everyday Optimists, notice and appreciate these moments, and they love Snapple for the same reason – it adds a little moment of delight to their days.

Recently, however, some Everyday Optimists have forgotten about Snapple's Best Stuff. They don't believe Snapple's "All Natural" claim, and as a result, the "Made From the Best Stuff on Earth" tagline is a source of skepticism. Additionally, Snapple's "Born in New York, Made for Everyone" campaign doesn't resonate with Everyday Optimists outside of the Heartland, and even native New Yorkers see it as a misguided use of Snapple's heritage.

The That's the Stuff campaign will remind Everyday Optimists what truly makes Snapple the best: the little things. From the pop of the cap, to the quirky Real Facts, to the wide selection of fruity flavors, the experience of drinking a Snapple is a little moment of delight that competitors can't recreate.

Heartlanders know what makes Snapple unique, but they need a reminder. Non-Heartlanders, who are less engaged with the brand, need more

encouragement to choose this delightful drink experience. To appeal to all Everyday Optimists, the That's the Stuff campaign compares the little moment of drinking a Snapple to an everyday little moment, like finding a match for every sock after doing laundry. In the Non-Heartland, executions will raise awareness of the Snapply experience and drive Everyday Optimists to feel it for themselves. In the Heartland, executions will further encourage purchase by leveraging the product equities that consumers know and love. The campaign will also redefine Snapple's tagline "Made From the Best Stuff on Earth," giving it a new meaning that is relevant and more credible.

By the end of the campaign, trademark volume will rise by 7% as Everyday Optimists across the nation experience the Stuff that makes

Snapple "The Best Stuff on Earth." They'll grab a Snapple, pop it open, and add a little moment of

delight to their days. That's the Stuff!

Snapple’s Problems To better understand why sales in the Heartland (HL) far exceed those in the Non-Heartland (NHL), research was conducted to uncover barriers to purchase among Snapple's light users.

Don't perceive the "All Natural" claims to be credible

"When I buy tea, I don't buy Snapple, but it was actually my favorite." - Drew, 21, PA

"My perception is that it's old–it's got some dust. Snapple used to have more of a personality and it's kind of faded." - Josh, 44, VA

"Snapple seems less healthy, even if competitors have a lot of sugar too." - Jack, 19, MA

"To me it just seems like fluff."- Marcelo, 22, TX

Consumers prefer Snapple in a blind taste test.

Snapple is a forgotten beverage. It seems outdated to consumers...

AND

Due to perceptions of Snapple as a "sugary" drink, the "all-natural" messaging is causing skepticism.

The "Made from the Best Stuff on Earth" tagline has high salience, but low credibility.

It's not a product problem; it's a perception problem.

Snapple should shift focus away from claims of all-

natural ingredients.

Snapple has an opportunity to give new meaning to the salient "Made from the Best

Stuff on Earth" tagline.

It is critical to refresh Snapple in a way that is

relevant to consumers and authentic to the brand.

Takeaway:Snapple's teas and juices are well-liked, but the brand's current position and messaging is causing skepticism. By shifting focus away from ingredients and redefining the "Made from the Best Stuff on Earth" tagline, the That's the Stuff campaign can breathe fresh life into the brand.

Everyday Optimists are not health nuts, but they appreciate the little things in life – like Snapple. They smirk to themselves when the universe throws them a small victory or a happy coincidence. For them, the glass of Diet Trop-a-Rocka tea is always half full.

Who Are the Everyday Optimists?

TOTAL TARGET:

100.7 M

Jayden - Young Profesional

Gets up on the right side of the bed, drool-free AND without bed head. It's a wonderful day from the start.

Off to class, and she's delighted that there's an open seat next to her longtime crush. The stars aligned!

Arrives home to find that Amazon delivered her adult coloring books. She does a happy dance before sitting down to get creative.

Books flight for Spring Break in Austin and snags the last aisle seat. Carrie smiles at the thought of seeing Icona Pop at South by Southwest.

9AM Snags the last everything bagel at the deli, and the cream cheese spreads perfectly. He smiles because breakfast just went his way.

Arrives at the office, and the elevator goes straight to his floor with no stops. He smirks to himself as he steps through the doors.

After a long presentation, he gets a high-five from the boss – complete with a perfectly satisfying clap sound.

Preps materials for client, and there's no line at the copy machine. Throws up a silent fist pump.

Drives kids to school and squashes a fight between her kids with a perfect Spongebob reference from behind the wheel. That's a win for Marissa!

Goes grocery shopping and a new check-out lane opens up just in time. She has a pep in her step as she glides out to the car.

Rocks her 2-year-old to sleep and tucks him in without waking him up. She smiles and silently accepts the Best Mom in the World Award.

Heads to bed with the new Tina Fey novel, and doesn't have to set an alarm for Saturday. That's bliss.

Takeaway:Across geographies, life stages, gender identities, and races, Everyday Optimists find the fun in their days in different ways. The little moments in life happen to everyone, but Everyday Optimists are the ones who notice them. Snapple can appeal to this mindset.

Research 5

What Sets Snapple Apart?To create a campaign that resonates with Everyday Optimists and leverages Snapple's strengths, research was conducted to determine why Snapple enthusiasts love the brand and what sets it apart from the competition.

When asked what they liked about the brand, consumers repeatedly mentioned the equities unique to Snapple in unaided recall.

"The cap is the first thing I think about with Snapple because it's unique. Tropicana just doesn't have that pop!" - Claudia, 33, NY

Brand Opportunity :Snapple's product equities, including the glass bottle, the variety of flavors, and the "pop" of the cap, join together to create a delightfully satisfying beverage experience that other brands can't offer.

GLASS BOTTLE: VARIETY OF FLAVORS:

People are looking for variations, and Snapple has so many flavors with tea and juice.- Kyle, 21, NY

When I think of Snapple, I think about the sound when you open the bottle.- Siobhan, 29, VA

"

I like the glass bottle. It feels more significant. I'll keep it with me all day.- Sasha, 18, VA

"Snapple's abundance of flavors helps me switch up my day. I feel like Brisk doesn't do that."- Chris, 46, VA

79% 66% 60%

"I like the glass bottle better than the Arizona can. I like the fun fact – the little pop sound. It's special." - Kaley, 21, CO

Everyday Optimists noted how Snapple equities create an inherently different experience than competitors.

Snapple is a Little Moment

Hypothesis:Snapple is a bright spot in the target's day that creates a little moment of happiness. Drinking a Snapple evokes the same feeling as other little moments, such as popping bubble wrap, or catching a candy in your mouth on the first try.

Research concluded that the experience of drinking a Snapple is delightfully different from the competition. But what about this difference was so important to consumers? Could unique product attributes be leveraged to create an emotional bond between consumers and the Snapple brand?

Agency 421 explored this emotional connection with the brand by identifying other little moments in people's days and determining whether they evoked a similar feeling to opening and drinking a Snapple.

"Little things, like having a particular flavor out of a large variety, provide a feeling of satisfaction. Also, the feeling of a popping cap is another little moment." - Daniel, 22, VA

In-Person Focus Groups

Snapple is a bright spot in Everyday Optimists'

days

iResearch Focus Groups"Snapple has a huge variety of flavors, so if you are really craving a certain taste, it could make it a memorable moment for that day." - Stephen, 19, NJ

Store Intercepts"I treat myself with a Snapple when the day is already going well. It's like 'you know what would make this day even better?' And not like with the big things." - Emily, 20, VA

"Snapple is refreshing and makes you feel good like one of those moments in your day." -John, 21, NY

1-on-1 Interviews

Is drinking a Snapple equal to that "woohoo!" feeling of hitting all the green lights, finding a forgotten $5 bill in a coat pocket, or stopping the gas pump on a full dollar? Could we scientifically prove that Snapple provides the same delight as these little moments?

"Snapple tastes the best to me when the consumption is spontaneous... It's most satisfying when it's out of the ordinary and exciting – a treat." - Lauren, 23, FL

Research 7

Only Snapple Can Own Little MomentsTo prove that people react to Snapple in the same way they react to the little moments in life, Agency 421 designed a Noldus FaceReader experiment.

Aha! Moment :People respond with delight to the little moments in life. Opening a Snapple bottle elicits a similarly positive response that competitors can't replicate. Only Snapple can own these little moments.

In the experiment, participants were presented with several examples of everyday little moments, like winning a game of rock-paper-scissors or catching a small candy in their mouths. The Noldus FaceReader program recorded, analyzed, and coded their facial expressions. The process was repeated when participants were asked to open a Snapple bottle as well as the containers of other RTD tea competitors. Subjects had similarly happy facial reactions to the Snapple equities as they did to the little moments, proving our hypothesis.

Maddie opens a Snapple, and her expression

is coded as very happy.

Sarah pops open a Snapple and smiles. Her

expression is coded as happy.

that’s the

STUFF!

the STUFFnoun 1. (U.S., slang) 2016; derived from "Made from the Best Stuff on Earth"; a chance occurence in one's day that causes instantaneous delight and/or satisfaction, like getting snail mail from a friend or opening a Snapple. Reactions to the Stuff include fist pumps, side smirks, happy dances, and pep in one's step.

You know that feeling of satisfaction when you make it to the couch right when the commercials end, or the happy dance you do when you find a five dollar bill in your coat pocket? Everyone knows this feeling, but describing it can be tricky. Now, Snapple gives you the words to describe this feeling: That's the Stuff! Everyday Optimists pause to appreciate how positively delightful these moments are, no matter how small or fleeting. Snapple consumers feel this same pop of delight each time they drink a Snapple. They peruse a sea of colors in the drink aisle to find their favorite flavor, hold the frosty glass bottle, pop the cap, read the quirky Real Fact, and take that first refreshing sip... That's the Stuff! Since 1972, "the Best Stuff on Earth" has referred to premium ingredients – but now, this phrase has new meaning. The Best Stuff is the little moments of satisfaction, the miniature wins, the tiny pops of "yes!" that let you know that the universe just gave you a high-five. When you say, "That's the Stuff!", you pause to appreciate how positively delightful these little moments are. Snapple's Everyday Optimists see the world in shades of strawberry pink and kiwi green – they relish the little extra splashes of color and joy in their daily lives. It's time to remind them that Snapple can be another That's The Stuff moment in their day. With activations as colorful as Snapple's large variety of flavors, and executions as quirky as the brand itself, the That's the Stuff campaign will finally give these little bright spots the attention they deserve. When Everyday Optimists experience these moments, Snapple will be top of mind. More importantly, the campaign will show consumers that they can create their own That's the Stuff moment by choosing a Snapple and popping open the Best Stuff.

The That's the Stuff campaign reinvigorates the Snapple brand nationwide by:

Raising awareness of That's the Stuff moments

Presenting Snapple as another little moment

Redefining the "Best Stuff on Earth" as the Stuff that makes life great

Creative Strategy 10Media Strategy

Media Strategy To address different marketing objectives in the Heartland and the Non-Heartland, the That's the Stuff campaign tailors executions to address Snapple's perception problem and low consideration among light uses while reminding heavy users why they love Snapple and incentivizing them to buy more.

The That's the Stuff campaign adapts to address consumers at different points in the purchase funnel. The campaign also features That's the Stuff moments that best fit in the chosen five media categories: TRADITIONAL EXPERIENTIALPOINT OF SALE PARTNERSHIPS

Executions will play upon the unique little moments in the top 25 DMAs across the country. Snapple can build stronger brand affinity in both the Heartland and the Non-Heartland by showing consumers that it understands its consumers' day-to-day lives through targeted little moments.

With a singular campaign platform, the That's the Stuff campaign uses a dual media strategy. Media spend in the Non-Heartland focuses on sampling, point of sale promotion, experiential, and direct marketing activations to encourage trial, drive purchase, and develop brand connection. Media spend in the Heartland meets consumers at the point of purchase to keep the brand consistently top of mind. Promotional incentives aim to increase purchases.

Snapple will transform 20 Uber cars in each of the top 5 DMAs, branding them inside and out. Each of the cars will include a cooler stocked with free Snapple for Uber riders. This partnership creates an unexpected little moment while also putting Snapple bottles in the hands of consumers across the country.

Creative Evaluation

Video Concept TestingAgency 421 partnered with Dialsmith, a research and technology consulting firm, to conduct video spot concept tests. The company's Perception Analyzer Online (PAO) captured over 100 respondents' moment-to-moment perceptions of initial concepts and measured brand perceptions before and after exposure. The results showed that ads were effective in changing consumers' brand perceptions, and feedback from the research guided the direction of the final ads.

Takeaway: The That's the Stuff campaign will resonate with the target consumer and build positive brand affinity, influencing the likelihood of purchase.

Execution TestingUsing the iResearch online focus group platform, the team also concept tested print, out of home, and point of sale executions with Everyday Optimists.

The placement [of the Sip Sampler] within a convenience store would probably prompt me to

buy the product right then and there. - Emmie, 21, New Hampshire

I think brand recognition would definitely be a part of my purchasing decision, which this

advertisement definitely increases, and I may be more likely to gravitate to Snapple rather than

other brands. - Stephen, 24, Delaware

The That's the Stuff campaign brands the little bright spots in life as "That's the Stuff" moments and presents Snapple as another opportunity to experience these pops of delight. In doing so, the campaign refreshes the Snapple brand in the minds of consumers, restoring its relevance and dusting off the unique brand equities that set Snapple apart. Through a campaign that celebrates "the Stuff" that makes life great, Snapple gives new, more credible meaning to the iconic "Made from the Best Stuff on Earth" tagline. The campaign pivots away from a focus on ingredients, allowing Snapple to carve out its own space in an otherwise crowded category. The multi-channel, fully integrated campaign meets Everyday Optimists in their daily routines through traditional, digital, and experiential executions. Targeted activations in the Heartland will deepen brand affinity and encourage both bulk purchases and flavor exploration. In the Non-Heartland, activations will raise awareness, incentivize trial, and keep the brand top of mind. By connecting the brand to moments of delight, the campaign will encourage Everyday Optimists to reach for a Snapple whenever they want to create another bright spot in their day. So the next time consumers experience this feeling of satisfaction, they'll be able to say:

Snapple, That's the Stuff!

that’s the

STUFF!
