Nescafé goes after teens in new phase

Nestlé has set its sights on a younger demographic, extending its Nescafe My Cup line to better target 18 to 23 year-olds.

The launch of Mild, Original and Turbo flavours are supported by a McCann Erickson campaign: '1 fast life to live, 1 new taste to stop for'. Having previously driven morning consumption among first jobbers, the new push targets teens and college students. "'1 Now, 1 Nescafé' captures the zeitgeist…you have one special moment. And for that special moment there is only one drink, one Nescafé," said Mark Ingrouille, CEO of McCann Worldgroup Thailand. The 30-second TVC showcases today's fast-paced life, before a sip of My Cup Nescafé inspires the drinker to savour the moment.

To date, Nescafé has spent more than 100 million baht (US$2.6m) on campaigns for the brand. With a more than 80 per cent share, Nescafé leads Thailand 35 billion baht coffee market, ahead of Birdy, Moccona, Super Coffee Mix and Khao Chong.
