… Billabong Pty Ltd …
1.0. Part 1 – The Client:
Billabong Pty Ltd.
2.0. Part 2 – Situation Analysis:
“How do you describe the life; experiences; personality; beliefs and journey of a
human being?” [Billabong. 2014]
2.1. Personality Sketch:
“Billabong International Limited is primarily a clothing company that also
produces accessories; wetsuits; eyewear and skateboard products under other
brand names”. [Billabong. Ask.com. 2014.] Yet as a result of the companies
collapse in 2008, with its inability to reach its younger opinion-leader target
market, “in 2010 Billabong bought 38 General Pants store in Australia to
maintain a presence. Billabong no longer found it financially viable keeping
open its Surf Dive n’ Ski and Jetty Surf stores and attempted to latch onto the
urban ‘cool’ associated with General Pants, who have moved increasingly
towards privately owned urban street wear”. [Ooi, T. 2010.]
2.2 Brief History:
Billabong was founded on Australia’s Gold Coast in 1973 by surfer and
surfboard shaper Gordon Merchant and his then partner, Rena. Though
initially the pair began the company by making boardshorts upon their kitchen
table, the brand found immediate traction through its high-quality and superior
functionality, company-sponsored contests and special events which later
followed. “By the 1980’s, Billabong had firmly established its place in
Australian surf culture”. [Billabong Corporate Overview. 2010.]
“The brand went from strength to strength with the company having an
estimated brand value of $2 billion (AU) in 2004”. [Asalama. 2010.] And

… Page 1 …
Angela p. gendersStudent ID: 7588690
expanding into several international countries the likes of the USA, Canada,
Latin America, Brazil, South Africa, Europe, Japan, Asia and the Middle-East.
“Yet since then Billabong’s target market of 12-25 year olds has dwindled”.
[Mahmud, S. 2010.] “And in 2013 Billabong’s current brand value is
estimated to be worth $456.18 million (AU)”. [Bleby, M. 2013.]
2.3. Market Analysis:
Billabong lost its foothold on the youth-market with the introduction of cheap,
mass-produced factory-outlet warehouse-labels such as Supré; ASOS; City
Beach; Sportsgirl; etc.
Yet “Billabong’s Market-Awareness still holds 86% of the Australian
population, with Billabong being the preferred lifestyle brand in the 30-44 age
bracket”. [Billabong Strategy, pdf. 2012. Page 12.] This is the age-range, that
of the generation-x, to whom grew up during the 1980’s zenith of the
Billabong label, and still have strongly established branding within their
minds.
For the slightly older age bracket of consumers, the options for economic and
fashionable clothing dramatically decreases to the likes of Just-Jeans; Lowe’s;
K-Mart and Target.
By repositioning Billabong, with its currently pre-purchased fashion range of
urban-street wear during the integration of Urban Pants, now is the ideal time
to inform Generation-X that “we were there for you when you were growing
up, and we have grown up ourselves and are here for you now”. Offering the
quality, comfortable; fashionable; sexy; functional street-wear for the urban-
city cosmopolitan lifestyle that no other labels provide.
2.4. Competitor Analysis:
Fashion labels, whether targeted at men or women, are produced on mass for
that of the teenager and early 20’s markets. As such, that which is accessible
ADVERTISING STRATEGY REPORT…for Billabong’s New Fashion-Line “Urban & Street Wear”
Billabong Pty Ltd -situation analysis…
… Page 2 …
Angela p. gendersStudent ID: 7588690
for the slightly older 25-40 age range are extremely limited. No longer
desiring that of long-flowing floral dresses; knee-length shorts; and most
certainly not bikinis and speedos, yet still want labels and styles of “fashion
that defines them”. [Billabong Strategy, pdf. 2012. Page 22.]
For this older age-range, that in which to choose from are the cheaper, more
disposable brands found within the likes of K-Mart and Target, these to which
either fade, or shrink after the first half-dozen washes due to their quality. Just
Jeans, a trusted and reliable brand true, yet beyond a pair of jeans and a t-shirt,
the range is extraordinarily limited. And beyond this is the likes of Myer and
David Jones, exorbitantly priced brands and labels more so provided for the
likes of cocktail; evening; and business wear.
There is a gap in the market for the 25-40 year old consumer, seeking that of
casual urban-street wear which can be worn from lounging around the home;
to coffee with friends; to drinks at the local pub; and social evenings out with
friends.

4.2. TV Commercial…
Graffiti Advertising Agency 10 February 2014
Client: Billabong Pty Ltd
Scenario: The advertisement begins with the music “Sweet Disposition” by the
Temper Trap. We see a black and white visual of a guy in his office
dressed in corporate attire, looking out the window to his urban
surrounds, perhaps dreaming of what could be. The next scene is
another black and white visual of a corporate woman sitting at her
desk, tired, stressed. In separate scenes, we seen them get up from their
desks and run out of their offices. As they leave their buildings, their
outfits go from professional attire to urban wear as they run through
the streets drawn by the allure of music in the distance, crowds of
people slowing joining them. As they arrive at where the crowds are
gathering to see a band play in the middle of the urban jungle, the
black and white visual slowly changes to colour, as though they’ve all
stepped out into the light, the crowd dancing and laughing to the music
in a slow-motion visual. The final scene is a black and white urban
screen with the blue Billabong logo, the voice over says, “Billabong,
taking it to the streets”.

and can be chosen towards placement of specific cities and suburbs
containing within them the chosen target audience consumer (i.e.
income-earning bracket; age range; and class-structure).
The chosen demographic for the campaign is that of the 25-40 year
old. Hence utilizing “sex-appeal” upon a highly visual platform within
beach-side cosmopolitan areas along the Australian Eastern Coast.
Also, with a bus, one develops full coverage with that of ‘users of
public-transport’, yet also ‘private-car owners’. And by placing the
phrase “turn on your Bluetooth now”, you are able to gain interactivity
through linking a mobile phone to a boutique YouTube commercial
only accessible via the link.

Any business these days not capitalising on the growing use of modern technology as
part of their marketing campaigns are not maximising their advertising dollar. The
chosen demographic for this campaign is the (14-25 year age bracket, by association),
yet primarily to the 25-40 year age group – those who also engage in highest usage of
smartphones and other electronic devices. In this campaign, we will maximise
advertising on Facebook and Instagram focusing on the 6pm to midnight bracket by
using these mediums to promote launches of new lines, sales and events, and special
promotions. Users will be encouraged to upload photographs of themselves to
Facebook and Instagram wearing their favourite Billabong outfit with weekly or
monthly vouchers up for grabs for winners.

5.0. Part 5: Media Placement Recommendations
5.1. Radio Advertisement…
According to Nielson (2012), radio is the ‘most personal’ of media. Whether at home,
at work, in the car or just out and about, radio reaches audiences in a timely manner.
There are approximately 22 million radio sets across the 5 capital cities; three quarters
of people in the five capital cities are reached by commercial radio and over 30%
listen to non commercial radio every week. The use of ‘drive time’ radio would be
most beneficial to the Billabong brand, from 9am - 12 noon then again 3pm - 6pm
weekdays and more afternoon-advertising on weekends. Placement upon our most
popular major metropolitan radio stations would the most economically feasible
solution. Most syndicate throughout regional Australia in addition to their city
broadcasting. Many are also available through the internet or via Podcasts, making it
possible to reach a global market and thus giving the widest possible broadcast net.
5.2. TV Commercial…
With consumer trust in television ads increasing from 56 percent in 2007 to 62
percent in 2013 according to Nielson, ad placement is vital in maximising
expenditure. Prime-time TV is a must for the Billabong brand to reach its target
audience en-masse. This is when most 25-40 year olds are relaxing after a long day at
work or taking a well-earned ‘time out’ over the weekend. Targeting our advertising
during major TV events should also be a priority. Utilising major commercial
television stations to maximise our advertising strategy is the goal. This TV ad is
more like a mini television event in itself. We want people to stop what they are doing
and watch. We want them to know that if they have left the lounge room during an ad
break and they hear this song, they KNOW what is on their screens. “TV remains the
front-running format for the delivery of marketing messages based on ad spend”
according to Nielson; Billabong must obtain then maintain their market share.
5.3. Print-Advertisements…
1. Full-Page Magazine Advertisement… Cosmopolitan Magazine
ADVERTISING STRATEGY REPORT…for Billabong’s New Fashion-Line “Urban & Street Wear”
Billabong Pty Ltd -recommendations…
… Page 22 …
Angela p. gendersStudent ID: 7588690
“Cosmopolitan Magazine is specifically targeted towards the 18-38 year old female
core-target”. [Cosmopolitan Media Kit. 2014.] As one of the primary objectives of the
advertising campaign is to expand the consumer group into the higher age-ranges, this
is the perfect medium for the intended social-class; and older, more mature urban-
woman. “Cosmopolitan is the Top-Selling Magazine within the ‘Lifestyle Category’
of print-media, with a circulation of 98,294 copies/year”. [Cosmopolitan Media Kit.
2014.] Hence, with the new, sexy, “Urban Street-wear” range from Billabong; this is
the perfect platform in which to reach the female aspect of the intended target
audience, especially if given the “inside cover” advertising space. As this is the
magazine of choice within the Australian, inner-city, hipster crowd.
2. Small Newspaper Advertisement… The Herald Sun
“The Herald Sun, owned by News Limited, and distributed throughout Melbourne
City in Victoria, had a circulation of 515,500 in 2012”. [Knott, M. 2013. Page 3.]
Melbourne is an Urban- Cosmopolitan City, hence the target audience, and primary
readership of newspapers being that of men, hence a masculine-specific designed ad.
The design being that of the timeless; sophisticated; urban feel of black and white
photography, with young, urban, sexy models, as backgrounds to that of a cobalt blue
font, allowing such to stand out more so as the only source of colour within the
advertisement. This most certainly is an unavoidable distractive platform.
5.4. Online-Banner Advertisement…
Nine MSN is an extraordinarily popular “homepage” for those of generation-x, due to
the fact that this is a search engine; online headline-news page; light-hearted youtube
viral-videos; link to the weather radar; email; etc. Therefore, this will achieve wide
exposure within that of both the male and female target audiences. “16,641 sites are
linked in to nine.msn.com.au, with 1,247 hits/day, and general to the general internet
population, men and women who went to graduate school are over-represented at this
site”. [Alexa, The Web Information Company. 2014]

And Facebook is a large, extensive platform upon which to place an advertising
banner to which will reach all age-ranges, and gender-roles within the target
demographic, as “11% of the world population has a Facebook account, 50% log onto
Facebook everyday, and almost 50% of 18-34 year olds check Facebook when they
wake up”. [Pring, C. 2012]
5.5. Out-Of-Home Advertisement…
Wrap-Around Bus Advertisement…
Bus-wrap is one of the primary sources of Out-Of-Home advertising, “viewers are
drawn towards a bus wrapping from top to bottom in a flashy ad”. [Hostarticles. 2008.
Page 1.] With utilising the design of the bus-wrap, for the above touched upon reasons
within the design, this most certainly is an unavoidable distractive platform.
By choosing major city beach-side suburbs, where younger people within the target
age bracket tend to either, or both, live and socialise. Full expose to the advertisement
is achieved as “the very fact that they are mobile gives them added advantage, travels
to every corner of the city, hence reaching the entire market. And unlike the television
or radio ads, bus advertisements cannot be turned off or muted; pedestrians and
drivers simply cannot miss a bus ad passing them.” [Hostarticles. 2008. Page 1.]
5.6. Interactive Advertisement…
According to Sensis (2012) 79% of large business has a social media presence; 84%
of people access the internet every day; 97% of social network users use Facebook:
and 63% of users access social media after work. As such, marketing should be
directed to consumers mainly between 5pm and midnight, with continued updates,
notification of sales and new lines posted on both Facebook and Instagram between
these times.

6.0. Conclusion
As you have seen from the storyboard and example advertisements; campaign-
strategies; and marketing concepts, Billabong intends to sweep all physical-world and
social-media forums to show our new modern, classy, and funky fashion line of
“Urban Street-Wear” for those within Generation-X whom hold solidified Branding
within their lives and minds of this great Australian Iconic Product.
There is a large gap in the market for this age bracket in which to find comfortable,
affordable, stylish casual, and smart-casual clothing to which we intend to fill.
Showing the mid to high-range earning, inner-city, cosmopolitan lifestyle is well and
truly supported by a company they know and trust and will make them feel young;
sexy and alive.
Our retro-styled campaign is designed to show the classic stylish feel of black and
white photography, all offsetting the colour-appeal of the cobalt-blue font most
favoured by those of adults, and representing that of ‘royalty’. We believe we have
designed a campaign which will resonate in years to come as one of the “classics”,
just like that of the infamous 1980’s era in which Billabong and her loyal consumers
both grew-up in together.
