- 21. TRANSLATE THE INSIGHTS INTO A CREATIVE BRIEF WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? WHATS THE CONSUMER PROBLEM WE ARE ADDRESSING? WHO ARE WE TALKING TO? CONSUMER INSIGHTS. WHAT DO OUR CONSUMERS THINK OF NOW? WHAT DO WE WANT THEM TO THINK/FEEL/DO? (DESIRED RESPONSE) WHAT SHALL WE TELL THEM? WHY SHOULD THEY BELIEVE US? F ADVERTISING E DIGITAL E SOCIAL D PR S EVENTS ETC
- 22. FOR EXAMPLE : WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? Repair Current perceptions that Rice is fattening. Remind Consumers about the health benefits of Regular Rice Consumption WHATS THE CONSUMER PROBLEM WE ARE ADDRESSING? Weight is my enemy. Im always watching what I eat. Eating rice increases my chances on putting on weight. WHO ARE WE TALKING TO? CONSUMER INSIGHTS. The Balance Seekers Taiwanese love to eat. But this group is dissatisfied with their weight and recognize the health threats. They are trying to eat a healthy diet but often eat when they are stressed or upset. They dont like to exercise but are pleased with themselves when they do. Motivated to eat well and exercise more, they have confidence in their ability to engage in physical activity but have low informed knowledge of healthy dietary requirements. This group has since cut down on their rice consumption as it gives them a sense of empowerment that they are controlling their diets.
- 23. WHAT DO OUR CONSUMERS THINK OF NOW? Rice is full of starch and has little nutrients. I can enjoy more of the other foods I love without rice filling me up. WHAT DO WE WANT THEM TO THINK/FEEL/DO? (DESIRED RESPONSE) We want them to think that Rice can be a healthy option. We want them to feel they can stay in control with rice and it will keep them feeling successful in living their healthy lifestyles. We want them to eat more rice at mealtimes and recognize that its really other accompanying high calorie foods that are the real culprits of weight-gain instead. WHAT SHALL WE TELL THEM? Its not rice that you should be sacrificing in your quest for weight-loss. Obesity cases are increasing in Taiwan due to the popularity of Western food items that are rich in oil and sugar. Rice is a healthier option than flour-based foods as rice has more nutrients and is more natural than other flour-based foods. WHY SHOULD THEY BELIEVE US? Rice is rich in carbohydrates, one of the three calorie-delivering nutrients that provide fuel for your body. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals. It is also an important source of energy for the body. Rice is nutritious. Rice is high in complex carbohydrates, contains almost no fat, is cholesterol free, and is low in sodium, except for the salt added to the cooking water. All rice, both brown and white, is considered a good source of vitamins and minerals. Rice is gluten-free and easily digestible making it a good choice for infants and people with wheat allergies or digestive problems
