Low involvement decision making segment
Advertising influence on ‘Low Engagement’ purchase
Advertising is a Influencer It helps in aligning virtue, convenience, self branding into a self statement
Advertising is not PersuasiveIt does not lead to “it wouldn’t make me run out and buy it affect”
The advertising affect in changing ‘Consumer Engagement’

self statement
Self statement leads to

Mental Purchase Agenda

Kids : Food tastes better when it is fun I like my food to be different every day
I don’t like boring meals Mom :My kid is a troublesome eater, needs different things everyday
I want to be sure my child gets nutrition
Leverage the fact that children of all
ages are very IMAGINATIVE. No
matter what the age band, they
imagine, to them it is real
The big idea
“Your imagination is your only limitation”

“FREE TO BE ME”
There I was swimming happily in the sea ,
And one fine day I wanted to be Living in the land of do re mi So I went to the queen of the very
deep Woke her up from a century of
sleep while she drank pearls from her
cup I said to her , I wanna go up She looked at me as if she couldn’t
see What on earth I was meant to be !! I swam away so no one saw my
tears But what do you know I was not alone with my fears. I wiggled and woggled and
woggled again And found myself in a little hidden
den! There they were !! All sorts of
magical spells Elbows and butterflies and even
shells !! So we swam and swam and made a
plan And made us a boat with an old
dishpan Waited till we saw a little boy Playing in the sea Who thought he found a shiny new
toy !!
