Abstract:

This case is about US-based Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Company Kraft Foods' (Kraft) mobile marketing strategy. Due to a reduction in consumer spending on packaged goods, Kraft decided to tap the mobile channel to promote its products as this channel had the capacity to enable value-added marketing. The company's mobile marketing campaigns were designed to meet the needs of customers and to help them integrate the company's brands into their everyday lives.

The case discusses the mobile marketing campaigns launched by Kraft Foods and their objectives. In 2008, Kraft launched a mobile campaign in Germany to promote the launch of its new instant coffee brand called Jacobs 2in1.

It was the first large-scale European product launch which used a mobile sampling campaign to enhance brand awareness. The campaign was integrated with traditional media and allowed customers to request samples and order products from their mobile phones. This was followed by the launch of a mobile cooking application for iPhone users called the iFood Assistant in December 2008. The application allowed customers to search for and download recipes, manage their shopping lists, and locate local stores thereby delivering value to the customer while at the same time promoting the company's products. The case also talks about the mobile website created by Kraft to facilitate consumer engagement on mobile devices, and how Kraft was taking its mobile marketing initiative further in countries such as Germany and the UK.

The case discusses whether the campaigns were successful in enhancing brand awareness and consumer involvement. It concludes by providing the reactions of analysts to Kraft Foods' mobile marketing campaigns. Analysts were of the view that the mobile marketing initiatives adopted by Kraft would serve the purpose of establishing a direct dialogue with customers as the mobile phone was a powerful communications device with respect to mobility, reach, and immediacy. Marketers should take advantage of the mobile medium and adopt it as part of their channel mix to gain a competitive edge, they said.
