Introduction

Creative Brief Companies choose to advertise on the television for the simple reason that, every night over 60 million people in the UK watch their television sets and, if you have a product to sell and money to make, it is the perfect way to promote your merchandise to a large audience of potential buyers. Advertising on TV is extremely expensive, though; for a 30 second advertising slot, at peak time, shown in the break between parts of a popular program the price can reach �700,000 or over.

Since this is a new product, the consumer needs to be able to identify the product while shopping. In the UK, Gatorade faced strong competition from Lucozade Sport, which holds a 42 per cent market share by value. But with endorsement from Lampard, Gatorade became as popular in the UK as it is in the US. With orange and lemon flavours available, Gatorade has already focused on its key market.
