EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kate Spade is recognized as a global lifestyle brand. With 450 stores worldwide, the company has reached out into multiple brand extension categories. In the past, Kate Spade has attempted to launch a lipstick. The launch resulted in a failure. Throughout this process book we will identify the business issue of Kate Spade and why the brand failed at an initial lipstick launch.

We will further identify and explore the key success factors of the brand. The key success factors include excellent product quality, product made from reliable ingredients, impeccable customer service, brand awareness, and glamorous IMC campaigns. A new initiative will be proposed for a launch of a color cosmetics line. “Yay! Kate Spade” will introduce a range of color cosmetics to the world of the brand.

COMPANY OVERVIEW Kate Spade was started in 1933 by husband and wife, Andy and Kate. Kate wanted to create the perfect bag.

The first store was opened in NYC in 1996. Kate Spade aims to design colorful living with wit. The company was bought by Tapestry Inc. in 2017 for US$2.4 billion.

There are 450 stores worldwide. Kate Spade is known as a global lifestyle brand today. Products offered include handbags, clothing, jewelry, shoes, stationery, eye wear, baby clothing, fragrance, tabletop, bedding and gifts. The company’s mantra is to “live colorfully.”

BUDGET

According to the company’s annual reports from 2017 as well as their profile on Red Books USA, their advertising and marketing budget is roughly US$56.5million.

Of this amount, they usually deploy 25% towards new product lines. We have taken that 25% portion, that amounts to US$14 million for Yay!’s budget. The budget has been divided into traditional mediums such as magazines, digital mediums such as social media platforms, as well as public relations, influencer marketing and weekly email newsletters.

32

33

TIMING OF LAUNCH

CAMPAIGN TIMING

The product will be launched along the IMC campaign the first week of March 2019. First of all because during that time the Spring-Summer Collection will be launched and we want to take advantage of the seasonality. Spring and Summer are associated with bright and fun colors so that it will make an excellent fit for the product.

It’s also necessary to consider the fact that throughout that period, Mother’s days and Woman’s day are happening, so it’s an attractive opportunity to boost the launching.

According to the gantt chart above, the pre-launch of the campaign would begin in February 2019 and continue upto March. During pre-launch, we will revive the Kate Spade’s website with a new landing and add teaser videos and images. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube will also show ‘coming soon’ posts. The email list customers would start receiving special emailers hinting about the new product range. During this time, we will also start contacting influencers and bloggers and leverage their fan following.

The launch month is April. This is the time when the website will have the products up for sale, social media platforms will have product images as well as launch event will be held to commemorate the beginning.

During the post launch, the magazines will start showing Yay! By Kate Spade’s advertisements of a girl wearing makeup amongst other women with no makeup on their faces. Since every 3 months, a new product line is advertised, magazines will have ads from May through July. The other mediums will run until August before a new product line is introduced.

EXPLORATIVE CONCEPT TESTING For our explorative concept testing, we will discuss key takeaways from our focus group discussions and expert interview. We asked four main questions with in focus group discussion. These questions are: how does the name YAY! sound for a makeup line?; Does it match Kate Spade’s overall

EXECUTION TACTICS

brand aesthetics?; Any color preferences?; And should there be suspense or direct product placement? With our expert interview we were told to avoid excessive florals, but to continue to use prints and stripes. Bright and bold colors for makeup align with the brand identity. Our interviewee, Fernanda, suggested that we incorporate fun elements into the video, such as balloons.

Our execution tactics consist of attention, placement, providing real news, showing a slice of life, use of music and sound effects, and brand prominence. Our attention will be drawn by using the bottom up process. We wish to capture attention through narration and camera movements. Our placement will be heavily placed on Youtube and print ads. Kate Spade’s Youtube channel video and ads at the beginning of VEVO official music video will contain our video and advertisement. Print ads will be featured in Vogue, ELLE, Cosmopolitan and Harper’s Bazaar. We will provide real news by introducing the range of color cosmetics by Kate Spade and Presenting the brand extension of YAY! by Kate Spade. By showing a slice of life in a day in a world without makeup we will create emotional resonance. The use of music and sound effects will shift from awkward to a more happy soundtrack. Effects like the sound of heels clicking, flipping pages and nail tapping will be used. In order to establish the brand’s prominence the opening of the film will state “Kate Spade presents…” and the end of the film will state “YAY! By Kate Spade.”
