...Introduction International Public Relations Campaigns are increasingly used by states, non-government organisations and multinational companies to achieve specific objectives, purposes or goals, especially to improve the situations, to exploit the target markets or to solve problems of the organizations. Theoretically, a PR campaign has been defined as a “concerted effort of an organization to build socially responsible relationships by achieving research-based goals through the application of communication strategies and the measurement of outcomes” (Kendall 1996, p.3).

Macro Environmental Factors: Social and Cultural Factors: The changes within consumer’ values as well as social trends has the potential to impact on demand of a product. There are many government initiatives currently raising awareness about eating more healthily (Department of Health, 2015), which could impact the demand for the cookie spread. Demographic: Relates to the forces that make up the market segments, ranging from age, gender, ethnicity, location as well as many other statistics. Changes in the general population need to be considered when marketing the new product, as different segments have different demands (Tischler, 2015). Micro Environmental Factors: Competitors: Similar products already in Australia such as Nutella (that has also been made into a snack) and Peanut Butter will provide competition for the Biscoff Cookie Butter coming into Australia. The company will need to analyse competitor’s prices and strategies so that they can provide better benefits and alternatives. Media: Media attention can ‘make or break’ a business. Positive media for the cookie paste can aid in creating a well-respected brand name for Biscoff Cookie Butter coming into Australia. II. MARKETING GOAL A 15% increase in sales by...
