Miami Ad School - December 2014

BRACH'S CANDY CORN

Background: Brach's sales have been declining over the past 5 years due to competitive candies and increased parity amongst store brand labels.

Problem: All candy corn brands are the same. Brach's need to stand apart from the crowd.

Target Audience: Moms of kids K-12th grade

Research: 90% of moms admit to sneaking goodies from their kids trick-or-treat bags.

Insight: Moms feel guilty for stealing candy from their sleeping children.

Strategy:  Moms are actually heroes for stealing candy because they are saving their children from sugar.

Tone: Humorous, playful.
