6. Common Objectives:
● Provide customers with a healthy, filling
meal that is GMO free and won’t cost you a
fortune.
● Provide a friendly, trendy, welcoming
atmosphere.
● Focus on the fresh ingredients.
● Provide a variety of options when it comes
to toppings, meats and being vegetarian
friendly.
Marketing Message:
● Proving customers with a wholesome food
experience. Healthy, fresh ingredients with
no GMOs. Having respect for our food and
knowing where it comes from.

7. Social Messaging:
● I believe the best way Chipotle can reach
this persona is through Facebook.
● Chipotle has a lot of focus on their
ingredients and its purity.
● Facebook is the best social media
platform because it can combine visuals
(like pictures of their delicious burritos)
along with textual information (such as
where their ingredients come from,
boasting it’s healthiness, or explaining
how everything they serve is GMO free).
● A great example of a Facebook post
would be pictures of one of their all
natural ingredients such as their
tomatoes, and then a short explanation
of what farm that produce came from and
how there were no growth hormones
used when growing it.
