The document proposes creating a virtual community called TITLE X - VC supported by the ABCD brand to provide a direct communication channel to target audiences. TITLE X - VC would offer members access to entertainment, social networking, shopping and other content through mobile phones, computers and a call center. The goal is to develop a user-friendly solution based on the needs and technology usage of target audiences to build long-term engagement with the brand.
2. AN INTRODUCTORY
CLARIFICATION
This is a 鍖ctional case study dealing with a 鍖ctional brand
The data provided about brand positioning and brand performance are in fact
insuf鍖cient to create a reliable and consistent marketing strategy.
In the case of a real brand/campaign we would suggest conducting at least a limited
market research to pinpoint the exact reasons why the two groups of consumers the
young people from the big cities and the young people from the small towns that
otherwise have so many identical sociometric parameters, react to the same brand in
such a different way.
Thus, everything that follows should be viewed only as a very tentative
communication strategy proposal or a mere demonstration of our way of thinking,
that, should it serve any real-life and real-market purpose, would have to be
thoroughly revised and corroborated with hard facts, in order to ensure future brand
development.
