The plan is to reposition this tea brand with the goal of becoming the tea of the Gen Z generation. Tea is always being overlooked or seen as the drink of elderly people. By remarketing this tea to the younger generation, it can show that this company represents you and is also delicious. Brand History: The name Tazo came from a mating dance performed by the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt. This is how founder Steven Smith explains the name of the company, and he wants it to represent the creativity, spirit and adventure that the Tazo brand encompasses. Smith founded the company in 1994 in Portland, Oregon. Smith was known to “go off the map” of things and wasn’t afraid to do the unexpected, and that is exactly what he did. By using a strange palette of flavor blends, mixed with unconventional ingredients, he created what he believes are the perfect flavors of tea blends. The company was bought by Starbucks in 1999 for $8.1 million, and Starbucks later opened a Tea-branded tea shop in November of 2012. That store closed and turned into what a lot of people know as Teavana stores. In 2017 Starbucks sold Tazo to Unilever for $384 million. Current Brand Status: Today, Tazo is still a brand under Unilever and they just recently launched a new lineup of teas called the ready-to-drink lineup in January of 2020. The flavors are passion, zen, and awake, and are available in single or multi-serve bottles. However, this launch was not as known about, even though it has a lot to offer and promote. The bottles are made from 100% recycled materials and contains 20% less sugar. By marketing this and designing a campaign targeted towards the younger generation, this launch would have been much more popular if this product was properly marketed towards them because these are all values Gen Zers gravitate towards. Target Audience: That being said, the target audience for this campaign will be our Gen Z generation. This is for males, females, whoever you choose to identify as, ages 14-24. Most of these individuals will be students who are in high school and college. A lot of these individuals are still finding their way in life and are trying to figure out what they want to do in this world. These individuals are just starting out and have a lot to offer in life if given the opportunity. Words that Describe Tazo Tea: Sustainable: With the new line of ready-to-go drinks being made from 100% recycled bottles, the company plans to continue to use recycled materials for their bottles to further their steps in becoming a more sustainable and environmentally friendly brand. Adventurous: This company was branded on being adventurous and taking steps out of your comfort zone to find the unexpected. Free-spirited: Tazo wants you to explore and fully be yourself. This brand has prided themselves on being curious, seeking and always questioning the world. Tazo says the unforeseen is what drives them, so being free-spirited is exactly what this company is all about. Unique: Tazo has worked hard to create different and unique blends of teas by discovering different flavors of spices to be added to their teas. By using unconventional ingredients, Tazo has created some of the most flavorful teas that were not expected. Healthy: By using 20% less sugar in their new drinks, having organic blends of teas, and even “skinny’ tea options, Tazo has always valued being a healthy brand.
