Got Milk-Case Study
SUMMARY: -
“GOT MILK” – necessity is the mother of invention
This campaign; one of the most popular campaign of 1990s was borne out of one such necessity which changed the world of advertising with its innovative approach. It established how a brand can be resurrected with a creative branding strategy.
In order to revive the declining sales of milk this campaign was started for California Milk Processor Board and was carried out by Goodby, Silverstein and partners. The powerful ad campaign was started in 1993. It superbly understood the minds of consumers and characteristically identified and targeted them. Recognising that taste and health are the two benefits which people looked for it started the campaign

It did not try to change the already existing notion that milk is mainly consumed at home. Rather, it reinforced the idea and brought the family together. Another, salient aspect is CMPB’s sensitivity while launching a campaign that targeted the Hispanic community. The campaign highlighted their strong family values as well as the importance of milk and was very well-received in the community. The popularity of this campaign led to it proliferating and becoming a household name. Several leading companies and the American Girl Scouts endorsed the product and a host of “got-milk?” merchandise was launched. The main idea behind this was to ensure that milk occupied a larger share of the consumer’s mind by taking the campaign to all corners of society. Eventually, attempts were made to launch the program both nationally as well as globally. However, the campaign almost ran into trouble owing to the farmer’s protest, but eventually the same farmers continued to sponsor the campaign. The growing popularity and affective involvement of California’s populace helped the formation of a relationship that spoke of the CMP’s reputation and the user’s experience with the product and the associated symbols which eventually became a part and parcel of people’s lives.
Q2. Evaluate the CMPB marketing program now and back in early 90’s. What do you see as is
Got Milk? Well, Austin Powers, Tracy McGrady, Serena Williams, Britney Spears, and even Elvis all do. But, do they know what they are selling in this Got Milk? Advertisements? The Got Milk? campaign was based on a milk deprivation strategy that reminded consumers how inconvenient it was to be without milk. The advertisment made milk a very popular drink because of its attractiveness not because of the nutrients and health issues. It has been believed by many that milk is needed to have a strong and healthy body, when actually milk can be extremely harmful and the nutrients needed for a good body can be found in many other sources.
There is information on free stuff you can win; there are images of the new 2004 Got Milk magazine ads and even video clips of the commercials that air on T.V. There is a Got Milk club that people can join as well. One of the commercials had the video clip of a teen boy at the post office sending a package marked fragile. The package travel through the post office and into the truck, it is dropped and kicked and thrown around. The truck then proceeds to the house to deliver it, it goes over bumps and the package is again thrown all over. The truck arrives at the destination and the mail man drops the package. There is a dog outside the house shaking it and biting at it. The same boy opens the door to find his package a complete mess; he opens it and inside is his Chocolate Milk. The ad’s catch was “Shake Things Up”. This T.V. commercial would appeal to all people. It is funny for the comic lover and serious for the parent wanting their kid to drink milk. This ad has numerous emotional appeals, everything from not liking the post office for ruining the package, to loving the post office for shaking up the milk. People look for humor in their life and this ad does that while appealing to one’s logical side of needing to drink milk. Advertising companies have many different ways of selling their product, they even succeed at selling emotions such as fun, and making you think about how logical it really is to drink milk.

The other thing that we should consider before using dairy products is from the ethical point of view. Drinking cow’s milk or consuming any dairy product is equal to torturing thousands of cows, due to changing their nature and way of living in order to make them useable for ourselves. It has become evident that milk is not the only source and product that we can reach vitamins, proteins and calcium from, in fact there are many natural and healthy products that we can reach out those factors that we are looking for it in milk, for instance fruits. Contrary to common belief, people should stop consuming milk because it is unhealthy, unnatural and unethical.
In this case the issue is whether or not the “Filled Milk Act” passed by Congress is in line with the commerce clause and the due process limits. It is the power of the legislative contested here. To put it in other way, can Congress to limit “Carolene Products CO’s” right to do commerce enshrined in article one of the constitution?
“Raw milk today is a fringe movement, a crusade of underdogs, a pesky mouse against the entrenched lions of medicine and industry.” The book The Untold Story of Milk begins with the undesirable situation of raw milk in today’s society.
In 1993, due to the decline in milk consumption, dairy farmers in California came together to form the California Milk Processors Board (CMPB). They agreed to give three cents for each gallon sold to fund an advertising campaign with the main purpose of “reminding people to drink milk” (gotmilk.com). Jeff Manning, the man hired by the CMPB to find an advertising company, appointed an ad agency known today as: Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. The San Francisco based company began immediate consumer research in which they found the majority of people loathed running out of milk, especially when sitting down to a sweet or sticky treat. They took this information and formed what’s known as the deprivation strategy. Rather than just advertising
Advertisements are all over the place, whether they are on T.V, or in a magazine, there is no way to escape them. They all have their target audience who they specifically designed the ad for, and of course they are selling their product to. This is a multi-billion dollar industry and the advertisers study any and every way that they can attract the consumer’s attention. Anytime a products advertising tagline becomes incorporated into a popular culture, a pinnacle of success has been reached. The “Got Milk?” tagline has been integrated in messages across the country such as churches, “Got God?” cheerleaders, “Got Spirit?” and even universities, “Got Whoop?”. The “Got Milk?” ads have
While Arosio, Pollock, Sargent, and Binney were able to point out both the positive and negative sides of communicating the company’s CSR efforts, Jove, Vice President of Marketing, and Cicio, Vice president of Human Resources, did not have any reservations in voicing out the true risks of the idea. According to Jove, since the U.S. population is still an emerging market for yogurt, the timing for communicating Dannon’s CSR as a marketing message would be premature. He knew very well that the current challenge is to get the American consumers to “want yogurt first” before making them “want Dannon”. Jove quoted, “I cannot put the chariot in front of the horse. First is product. Then we can enrich it with community and social activities.” (Marquis et al., 2011, p.11). Alongside Jove opposition to the idea, Cicio’s main concerns communicated its potential “moral dilemma”. He reminded Neuwirth of the bold conflict that the idea can bring by mixing CSR concepts as a marketing effort and
Although all of the advertising campaigns mentioned in the documentary have impacted me in some way, I would have to say that the one that has impacted me the most would be the “got milk” campaign. I thought it was interesting to hear the story of what inspired the slogan, mainly because of how such a simple catchy phrase exploded and became one of the most used slogans around the world. In the documentary it was shown that the main goal when selecting the slogan was simply to remind people to continue buying milk. I am sure the campaign accomplished that goal and exceeded any expectations they had. Personally the “got milk” campaign did not make me or my family purchase more milk than before but I remember seeing “got milk” advertisements
