URBAN CONNISSIUERS

Problem/Challenge Identification: GCI’s market has stalled, and they’re looking for new methods in order to grow in untapped markets.

Urban singles provides the unique opportunity for differentiation and ability to grow.

Consumer Insight – What They Are Saying: “I can’t seem to meet new people that I actually want to date. Even when I do, I hate sitting at

coffee shops or bars trying to make conversation. It’s so awkward! And if it doesn’t go well,

getting out quickly can be even more awkward.”

“There’s got to be a better way of meeting people – but $700 is a lot of dough.”

“I’ve been thinking about taking a course somewhere, but I’m not really sure what to take. I’d

like to be a better cook, but there are so many classes, how do I choose?”

“What would a gourmet cooking school know about helping people connect with one another?”

“I’m interested in trying out something new and cooking seems exciting. But I’m not sure if

cooking and dating work hand in hand.”

“I think cooking is wonderful, this would be a thrilling experience. I’m concerned if I’m going to

be spending too much time learning how to cook, or if a person I would like to strike up a

conversation with would be too focussed on cooking.”

“$700 should provide me with just more than a few cooking classes, wine, and discounts

towards cooking supplies. What about other promotions they could provide?”

“I wish there was a place that taught me how to create my favourite dishes that are offered at

high scale restaurants.”

“I’m interested in finding a fun and respectable place where I can learn and meet quality

connections.”

Competitive Analysis:

Cooking schools such a President’s Choice, Nella Cucina, and Dish Cooking Studio, provide high end

cooking classes. They focus on teaching culinary skills, techniques and different cuisines. These cooking

schools provide a fun and intimate place to learn about food and cooking with others. Similar to

Connoisseur, these cooking schools offer similar sized classes with master chefs.

Connoisseur is the premium based cooking service that provides our target market 27-35 with the

appeal of experimentation through sensual cooking, entertainment, gourmet food, wine, and the thrill

of connecting with identical individuals.

Psychographics – “Experiencers” Experiencers are young, ambitious, career focussed, and goal driven individuals. These upscale

individuals are highly energetic, who pride themselves on being professionally driven and are willing to

will be beneficial to them. They’re often charismatic and heavily influence people involved within their

URBAN CONNISSIUERS

Where – The marketing initiatives will be heavily focused on three major cities: Toronto, Vancouver, and

Ottawa. These key markets were selected because of the shared similarities the target audiences have.

In each city, the cuisine will match the popular choices in each region in order to cater to the taste

palette of the targeted audience. Partnerships with different wineries will also be made so that each

region will highlight local wineries with their food.

With the target audience in Vancouver, there will be an emphasis on incorporating seafood into the

cuisine. Since the city is close to the shorelines and have access to fresh seafood, Urban Connoisseurs

will highlight this quality and incorporate it into the cuisine, while matching it to Iniskillin wines.

In Toronto, Urban Connoisseurs will highlight multicultural food options on the menu to celebrate the

different cultures that Toronto cherishes. The multicultural menu will be paired with Cave Spring Cellar

Wines, a winery that is situated in Ontario.

The target market in Ottawa will experience “degustation” menus that will consist of seven different

types of dishes made from locally grown ingredients. This menu will allow individuals to taste sensual

food while being able to enjoy the company of others. The wine pairing at the Ottawa locations will

consist of wine from Jackson-Triggs.

When – Urban Connoisseur will be continuously advertising all year long through their website and

Social Media platforms to generate brand awareness. Additionally, the company will conduct out-of-

home elevator advertisements for the months of January, February, June, July, August, November and
