Loaf

  • Phoebe Kenny

THE AIM The aim of this proposal is to realign Loaf’s design and marketing strategy to a younger demographic. Based on my daily interactions with our customer base, I have observed a significant shift towards a younger audience. These consumers, typically in their late 20s and 30s, prioritise stylish home furnishings that fit their modern lifestyles. By tailoring our design and marketing efforts to resonate with this younger demographic, we can better meet their needs and preferences, ultimately expanding our market reach and driving brand loyalty among the new generation of homeowners and renters. London is teeming with young professionals, some of which are jumping on the property ladder, seeking to create stylish and comfortable modern spaces. By strategically placing our ads in tube stations near financial districts, we can directly target this exact demographic. These high traffic areas are frequented by individuals who value convenience and are constantly on the move, making them the perfect audience for our trendy furniture. Eye catching, memorable ads in these locations will capture the attention of potential customers and maximising our reach in attracting the right people to Loaf.​​​​​​​ THE SOLUTION To create an extremely memorable ad that fits with the current trends, I have focused on simplicity and fun, two key elements that resonate with today’s younger demographic. The ads utilise minimalist design aesthetics and will feature the most popular models with the younger audience I have witnessed. These include Squishblocks, Wodge, Big Easy and the Pillowtalker bed. I have also noted green is undoubtably the most popular colour they request, when they come into the shack, so targeting this will increase demand. The ads will incorporate a catchy, memorable slogan. By prioritising these elements, I aim to create adverts that not only stick in the minds of our audience but also aligns perfectly with their lifestyle and values, yet keeping the original "Loafy" feel and tone. THE VALUE Implementing this targeted advertising strategy will significantly enhance Loaf’s brand value by directly engaging a key demographic of young professionals. These individuals are not only entering the property market, but are also keen on investing in high quality, stylish furnishings that match their modern lifestyles. By positioning our ads in high-traffic Tube stations near financial districs, we can effectivly reach and attract this audience. This approach will drive increased brand awareness and recognition among a lucrative customer segment, leading to higher sales and a stronger market presence. Ultimately, this will reinforce Loaf’s reputation for offering trendy, functional home furnishings, cementing our position as a go to brand for the new generation of homeowners.
