HelloFresh media strategy

Media Planning coursework, 2025

The briefReposition HelloFresh as an affordable convenience for price-sensitive 24–30 year-old professionals, and turn awareness into trial and subscription.

My contributionA five-person team project. Mine were the media flowchart and the vehicle rationale — channel mix, vehicle-level budget allocation, week-by-week flighting, and the reasoning behind every placement.

The plan$627M gross across linear TV, streaming, social, influencer, search, podcast and programmatic. Value KPI: CPM. Delivery KPI: reach.

Annual media flowchartThe full-year plan: channel mix, vehicle-level allocation, flighting by week, and impressions and CPM by line. $627M gross, $532.95M net.
Rationale for vehicle choicesWhy each channel runs when it runs. Linear TV weighted to the NFL calendar, streaming to the short days of Q1 and Q4, social and influencer filling the football off-season.
Barrier and business challengePrice sensitivity among 24–30s was the barrier the plan had to solve for.
Target audienceUrban professionals, 24–30, middle to upper-middle income, already searching for meal-prep ideas.
Business objectiveConvert awareness into trial and subscription.
Campaign goalsFour SMART goals tied to sign-ups, traffic, engagement and email conversion.
Metrics and KPIsCPM as the value KPI, reach as the delivery KPI.
Engagement ideasThree placement ideas built around when the audience is actually reachable, including podcast ads timed to the 4–7pm commute.

Tuborg Live

Advertising Campaigns coursework, 2025

The briefDeepen Tuborg’s association with music among Gen Z, who want a way into music culture rather than another sponsorship logo.

My contributionA team project. I pitched the platform the group built on — a free-to-enter global competition ending in a festival in Copenhagen — designed the mobile site in Figma, and presented the final work.

The ideaAnyone can submit a track. The public votes. The top ten fly to Copenhagen to perform live, with the festival livestreamed so the audience that voted can watch.
