maslow's hierarchy of needs theory
Self-actualization needs -realizing personal potential, self-fulfilment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
Esteem needs - which Maslow classified into two categories: (1) esteem personally (dignity, achievement, independence) and (2) the desire for respect from others (e.g., status). Maslow indicated that the need for respect or reputation is most important for children and adolescents and find real self-esteem or dignity.
Love and belonging needs - after physiological and safety needs have been fulfilled, the third level of human needs is social and involves feelings of belonging, The need for relationships motivates behaviour
Examples include friendship, intimacy, trust, receiving and giving affection and love (family, friends, work).
Safety needs -protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear.
Physiological needs -these are basic requirements for human survival, e.g. air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sex, sleep.
If these needs are not satisfied the human body cannot function optimally. Maslow considered physiological needs the most important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs are met.

Diary 1
1. What product will you choose to advertise?
The product I'm going to create and advertise will be a drink
2. How will you choose to work?
I am going to work individually creating my own brand.
3. What platform will you decide to create?
They will be advertised on the platform PRINT because using print there's more of a chance of targeting a larger demographic as it could be shown on buses and billboards. It will also be advertised on an ONLINE platform to target a younger audience since they're usually the ones using technology
diary 2
1. Who is buying? (Target audience)
A target audience is a group identified as the focus for communications, media, entertainment, information or advertising. A well-defined target audience can be used to tailor messages to your audience and to find avenues where they can be reached.
A beverage company with a high market share may create ads that simply convey a positive feeling that is likely to have broad appeal.
2. What will it look like?
I am intending to have my bottle look like a
palm tree where the body of the bottle will be
the 'tree trunk' and it will be either glass
or plastic and clear. The lid would be in the
shape of the roof of a palm tree(the leaves).
The label of the bottle would be a different
background depending on the flavour with the
same logo, but they will all be based around
different colours of tropical sunsets.
3. What is so special about that product?
My product is special and different from other
products due to firstly the size. The first drink
that was similar to mine was BIGGA and it
comes in 24x600ML, 24x355ml and 8x2L. Whilst KA is the other similar product to mine and KA Sparkling range is available in price marked packs of 2L, 500ml and 330ml cans. KA Stills range is available in price marked packs of 1L Cartons, 500ml and 288ml cartons.
