make women’s days function with increased ease. POM Wonderful presents women with the opportunity to become more powerful
individuals who are better prepared to face the curve balls thrown at them from their home, workplace, and families.

campaign stimulates interest, and provides consumers with personal reasons to make the purchase--to become more powerful.

active lifestyle, or those who wish to pursue one, but cannot find the time. In order to build upon consumers’ pre-existing brand perception
of POM Wonderful as a naturally antioxidant-packed product, High Beams created the slogan, “Powerful POM for a more powerful you.”

and convenience. POM Wonderful’s $12 million advertising budget will be used to increase brand awareness,
comprehension, conviction, and purchasing intent. Broadcast, magazine, out-of-home, and interactive advertisements

5. Historical Context:
Though POM Wonderful was launched in 2002, the beauty and health of the pomegranate fruit has been praised since 3500 BC. The
pomegranate was one of mankind’s first cultivated fruits. Recognized as a symbol of prosperity, fertility, strength, and eternal life, the
pomegranate is celebrated in Middle Eastern, European, Asian, and American cultures. By 1862, the sweet and juicy goodness of the fruit
was recognized in California by a man named Mr. Bearss, who deemed this rich variety of pomegranate “Wonderful.”
Nearly 150 years later, POM Wonderful was born. Relying exclusively on the delicious and healthy “Wonderful” variety of pomegranates,
POM Wonderful is now the world’s largest producer of California Wonderful pomegranates. The company is an innovator in growing,
harvesting, processing, and globally distributing pomegranate products.
Since its founding in 2002, POM Wonderful’s line expanded to include seven juice flavors, fresh pomegranates, Lite POM, and POM Juice
Concentrate. The POMx line, products made with a 100% natural, ultra-potent pomegranate extract, includes tea, iced coffee, antioxidant
recovery, pills, bars, and shots. In 2005, POM Wonderful juice was launched in restaurants and nightclubs, and the juice packaging
transitioned from glass to the now classic “double pomegranate” plastic shape. Dedicated to innovation and wellness, POM Wonderful
has invested $34 million in pomegranate research, particularly focusing on its prostate and cardiovascular health benefits.
Environment Analysis
Economic Forces:
The 2008 recession significantly impacted POM Wonderful sales, as customers perceive it to be a luxury, or high-class brand. Because
products like POM Wonderful satisfy a desire rather than a need, they are often the first to be cut from a tight budget. POM Wonderful
prides itself in producing 100% pomegranate juice, so naturally it seeks to ensure that customers receive the quality beverage they
expect and deserve. To counter competitor’s false ingredient advertising claims and to protect its hold on the 100%
pomegranate juice market, POM Wonderful brought brands such as Tropicana Products, Inc., Ocean Spray Cranberries
Inc., Welch Foods Inc., and Coca-Cola Co.’s Minute Maid into litigation. Through these legal efforts, POM Wonderful
strives to impress upon consumers that the health and taste benefits of POM Wonderful are well worth the investment.

to store shelves.
Legal/Regulatory Forces:
POM Wonderful is credited with popularizing the pomegranate and actively works to defend the natural, pure quality of POM Wonderful
products. After larger corporations witnessed POM Wonderful’s products’ success, generic pomegranate juices that contained pear,
blueberry, and apple juices began to fill grocery store shelves. Consequently, due to competitors’ deceptive advertising, consumers were
lead to believe that these “100% pomegranate juices” were of the same quality as 100% Pure Pomegranate POM Wonderful juice. To
date, POM Wonderful has sued Tropicana Products, Inc., Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc., Welch Foods Inc., Purely Juice, and Coca-Cola
Co.’s Minute Maid for deceptive advertising and labeling, importing pomegranate juice concentrate, and making inaccurate claims
about POM Wonderful price and quality. POM Wonderful has successfully defended claims against major competitors and in doing so,
continues to defend the quality and nutritional value of 100% pure Pomegranate Juice.
In October of 2010, POM Wonderful also sued the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for infringing upon free speech rights under
the agency’s deceptive advertising laws. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then challenged POM Wonderful, requesting
that product labels desist from making health claims not backed by the FDA. The labels in question claimed that POM Wonderful
products could prevent heart disease, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction. In response, POM Wonderful stated, “We take
pride in having initiated a program of modern scientific research to investigate the health benefits of this ancient and revered fruit.”

Tropicana: Trop50 Pomegranate Blueberry:
Strengths: It is the lowest calorie juice of all the Trop brands at just 50 calories for an 8 ounce serving. Tropicana is a
well-established, trusted brand.
Weaknesses: To make the calorie count so low the juice is very watered down. It only contains 42% juice and the first
ingredient is water.
Calories: 50 calories for 8 fluid ounces
Price: $3.49 for a 59-ounce container

Strengths: This Minute Maid drink targets a child demographic. Offered in 12 and 59 fluid ounce bottles, as opposed
to most of High Beams competitors which either come in small or large bottles. This drink is also 100% juice.

Whole Foods 365 Pomegranate Juice:
Strengths: Whole foods is a national brand and a trusted household name. The brand loyalty is already present. There is
a cult-like following of devoted fans.
Weaknesses: The juice itself is rarely advertised at all, so awareness of the juice itself only comes from seeing it in the store.
“Store-brands” have a stigma of being a lower-quality product, despite Whole Foods being a more expensive supermarket.

Strengths: This drink is 100% juice. The Naked brand is also considered a “luxury.”

harmful free radicals that make women sick and slow them down. POM Wonderful provides women with the ultimate antioxidant boost
to fight these pesky trouble causers that sabotage much more than their health. High Beams will frame POM Wonderful as a product

19. Creative Testing:
Before executing High Beams’ “Powerful POM for a more powerful you” campaign, there will be opportunities for women to generate
personal feedback. High Beams started by distributing a short online survey to the target market to find out about the demographic’s
health and leisurely habits. Media preferences were also taken into account, to learn how to best accommodate the market’s lifestyle. To
compliment the survey, High Beams interviewed women individually, to gather information on their pre-existing perceptions of the POM
Wonderful brand.
As a comprehensive follow up to both of these testing methods, High Beams will conduct focus groups, featuring our current “Powerful POM
for a more powerful you” campaign. Through this, the company will be able to measure the campaign’s potential for success, with feedback
from members of the target market. The evaluation will reveal how the women identified with the campaign message, and its success in
reaching the target audience. This will ultimately inspire women to empower themselves with the POM Wonderful product.

bottle of POM in the store, or, if they haven’t heard if the product line, this will inspire them to check it out. Consumers walk into a grocery
store with the intent to buy, and thus cost hesitancy does not have as large impact on their purchasing decisions. As a result, this is a prime
time to remind them to buy POM.

and fitness goals. The program will inspire women to stick newly made resolutions by offering a POM Wonderful Power Pack to any
member of Bally Fitness who attends the gym seven times in a span of two weeks. The POM Wonderful Power Pack will provide
consumers with POM Wonderful products that will enhance one’s workout experience. Ultimately, the pack encourages consumers to
engage in all types of healthful activities that will make them more powerful individuals, while keeping POM Wonderful as an integral
part of this new routine.
Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello:
Objective: To increase consumer awareness of the various uses of POM Wonderful products.
Strategy: POM Wonderful will sponsor an episode of Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello to inspire viewers with creative, delectable,
and simple ways to use POM Wonderful in the kitchen. This will also serve as a great connection to POM Parties, giving consumers inventive
ways to use POM products while entertaining. POM Wonderful will obtain optimum frequency with this tactic as both stay-at-home and
