Homework Answer on Campaign Critique
Introduction
The campaign-involved promotion of cereals being referred to as Honey Bunches of Oats whose target market was both the general market and Hispanic markets. The main purpose of this campaign was to use more methods of advertising away from the usual digital and social channels like print media and Television adverts (Chavez and Christopher 7).
Main Message and Strategy
The main message was contained in a composed music video saying Smile While You Shake It (Chavez and Christopher 7). The video was created with the help of a Latino musician named Domino Saints where dancers are seen shaking boxes containing Honey Bunches of oats as they dance .There is also a micro site known as BunchofBeats.com which with the use of tutorials by musicians the audience are taught dance moves from the same video.
They then take videos of themselves dancing and post it to the same site or social media platform (Chavez and Christopher 8).This strategy fits with Hispanic cultural concepts because it uses one of their own musicians in making this video thereby they feel the marketer is recognizing their cultural roots (Berkowitz et al. 9). They are also known from previous experiences to use their mobile devices to take photos and record videos.
