1. Executive summary
In later 2019, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged, and it became a global
pandemic by the first quarter of 2020. This evidently changed consumers behaviours around
the world. It created a rise in demand for more sustainable source products. Due to challenging
economic times, consumers became wearier of what they purchased. This consequently affect
the way Pana Organic (written as Pana in the following report) operates and produce its
products. The aim of this strategic social media marketing plan is to outline how Pana Organic
can grow in both business and profitability wise during in a post-pandemic time. The strategy
includes strategic approaches on how to achieve two sets of goals, drawn from the situational
analysis, during a slow global economic recovery caused by COVID-19. By implementing the
mentioned strategy approaches and tactics, Pana will have a successful chance to gain an
estimated of 20% in total revenue in 12 months and potentially be the number one vegan
organic chocolate company in the southern hemispheres and globally.

2. Introduction
Panagiotis Barbounis founded Pana Organic in 2012 when he was switching his diet to a
vegan diet. He found it there was a lack of vegan chocolate in the market at that time. Along
with his experience in the hospitality, food and beverage industry, he ventured into creating his
own vegan and organic chocolate. Barbounis started with just chocolate bars and expanded to
ice-cream, spreads, cocoa powder a recipe book and recently, eco-tote bag. Pana Organic
(Pana) has ventured into the United Kingdom (UK) and European (EU) markets as well on the
domestic market. Pana uses five social media platforms to engage with its customers, as shown
in the audit. However, this report also outlines that Pana’s website is considered as a social
media platform as McEvenue et al. (2016) notes websites are symbiotic to other social media
platforms similarly to Facebook and Instagram.
This report is a social media marketing plan for Pana. It will be highlighting core
components on Pana’s current performance on social media and implying suggested
measurements along with an activation plan to the mentioned strategies. As majority of
consumers in EU countries bare many similarities to consumers in UK, the marketing strategy
will be focusing on consumers in UK region. This will give Pana an easier targeting path for
both domestic and international markets.
This reports also highlights key brand messages, an activation plan and an estimated budget
allocation of $10,486.45 for Pana in the launch of the suggested campaigns. This report aims
to further improve Pana’s social media performance and to ensure that the company will the
top vegan organic chocolate company in Australia and possibly the world.
3. Situation Analysis
3.1 PESTLE ANALYSIS

Table 1 PESTLE Analysis on Australia
3.2 Competitor Analysis

This report further analyses direct competitors of Pana which is shown in Appendix 1
in addition to the social media audit’s review of Pana’s competition. Alter Eco Chocolate,
Bennetto, Loving Earth and Hey Tiger are the four main competitors they compete in vegan
and organic products market along with Pana. Based on Google Trends, though there is a
demand in vegan and organic chocolate (see Appendix 2), only a small percentage of
consumers know the brand Pana Organic (See Appendix 3), and they are from Australia. With
that being said, only 33% of Australian consumers know the brand name. Pana needs to ensure
that it has competitive advantage over its competition, and this can be derived from the
following SWOT analysis.
3.3 Social Media SWOT Analysis
Table 2 SWOT Analysis based on Pana’s Social Media Accounts
3.3.1 Strength and Opportunities (Internal analysis)
Based on the SWOT analysis, Pana has strong promotions on channels (Pana Organic
2020a), and it guides viewers and customers on how to use its products in baking. Pana aims
to educate its viewers that one could do so much more with chocolates and spreads. This
consequently became another strength of Pana, in building an active community which formed
customer-to-customer (C2C) engagement. Pana highly engages with its customers, especially
Internal External
Strengths
1) Building an active community
2) Strong promotions on social media
3) Highly engaging with customers (A
dedicated site for its international customers)
Weaknesses
1) Range varies
2) Growing competition
3) Monitoring engagement can be complex
Opportunities
1) Giveaways and contests
2) Other sports endorsements
3) CSR opportunities with engagement
Threats
1) New technology changes
2) Privacy concerns
3) Undeclare allergen
7
in the comments section of its Instagram which insinuates to more C2C engagement, making
the brand link with people across the globe. In addition, Pana has its UK website to carter and
engage with buyers from mainland UK and twenty-nine other EU countries.
Pedla (2021) states Pana has become a major sponsor of Melbourne’s local athletic
cycling team. This has opened a new pathway for Pana to venture into, tying in sports and its
products. Ewing-Chow (2020) notes many professional and elite athletes are incorporating
veganism in their lifestyles. She reviews that the plant-based diet can reportedly reduce
cardiovascular risks and diseases. Fitness has been a trending topic and Pana should seize this
opportunity to promote together with other sports brands or teams on its social media platforms.
This will essentially change other consumers’ perception of vegan chocolate. Based on the
social media audit, Pana’s employees are not active in engaging customers except the founder
himself. This can be an opportunity Pana can explore by having more engagement with
customers, its employees and other communities as this will create a strong CSR strategy for
the company, especially on LinkedIn.
Abidin (2016) highlights due to the increasing usage of social media, it causes brand
dilution. This means that Pana could hosts giveaways or competitions on its Instagram,
Facebook and LinkedIn to assure that its brand image is strong and create more brand
awareness among its competitors. It would further enhance engagement among consumers and
allow Pana to focus on which audience to target as McCarthy and Winer (2019) reported it is
cost effective if companies apply the Pareto 80/20 rule which states that 20% of customers
make up 80% of the sales. By leveraging on the strengths and optimising the opportunities, it
will cost Pana less to develop marketing campaigns in the long run because the return on
investment (ROI) will be high, as highlight in the social media audit.
3.3.2 Weaknesses and Threats (External Analysis)
A major weakness is that Pana’s product range varies differently in-store and online.
When Pana launched its Easter chocolate eggs, they were not sold on the website but only in
independent grocers and major supermarkets in Australia. Based on the competitor analysis,
there is growing competition of vegan and organic chocolates. ‘Hey Tiger’ is a direct
competitor for Pana along with other major chocolate brands that Pana have to compete on
supermarket shelves.
8
According to Pana (2020b), the company uses Google Analytics to track how the
website is utilised by consumers and other tools to ensure that the brand is engaging with
consumers. Monitoring engagement can be complex for Pana as it uses different vendor suites
to monitor engagement. Pana uses cookies which can be threat as Mathews-Hunt (2016) states
companies have no control on third party cookies. Consumers might not want to agree to Pana’s
website cookies due to privacy invasion. Pana also do not have control over social media
companies such as Facebook constantly introducing new technology and design changes
(Facebook 2020). Product recalls is another major threat for Pana. In 2019, ‘Pana Organic
Raspberry Chocolate 45g’ had to be recalled due to an undeclared allergen (NSW Food
Authority 2019). This might have brought a slight damage to the brand’s reputation.
In terms of privacy concerns, Pana should consider examining having a privacy Trustmark
on its site as Stanaland et al. (2011) states it reduces consumers’ privacy concerns. Pana needs
to minimise the weaknesses and threats in the SWOT analysis by ensuring to disclose necessary
information to the customers, adapt to third party vendor changes and develop a consistent
customer experience online and offline.
4. Goals and Objectives
Pana aims to achieve two set of goals based on the strengths and opportunities identified in
the situation analysis. A bottom-up approach would allow Pana to achieve the objectives and
goals aimed at ensuring strong brand image and awareness and increase in revenue, as mapped
out in the ROI section of the social media audit. Hoffman and Fodor (2010) state a bottom-up
approach could help a company achieve its desired potential outcome in sales by taking
customers wants and needs into business consideration. Mahoney (2016) established the
SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, and relevant) framework to support organisations to
achieve their goals. Pana aims to achieve these objectives and goals within the period of 12
months.
Goal 1: To increase brand awareness of Pana vegan chocolate through social media contests
in the domestic market.
9
Objectives:
1. To increase an estimate of 10% month over month engagement on Facebook and Instagram
with likes, shares and comments.
2. To increase the number of sales enquiries by 10% within 12 months, as measured by its
customer relationship management (CRM) tools.
3. To increase domestic sales of chocolates by 10% within 12 months, as measured by Google
Analytics
Goal 2: To build Pana’s reputation internationally as the preferred choice for vegan chocolate
through promotional campaign.
Objectives:
1. To build brand awareness in each EU and UK markets by 5% within 6 months through
tracking the engagement on social media platforms.
2. To increase number of sales in each EU and UK markets by 5% within 12 months,
as measured by Google Analytics
3. To increase the number of sales enquiries in each EU and UK markets by 5%, as measured
by its customer relationship management (CRM) tools.
5. Marketing Strategy (Segmentation, Targeting
and Positioning)
The market segments for Pana’s marketing strategy were developed following of the
international and domestic markets. As mentioned, Pana should focus on the same three
markets because it is more cost efficient. Pervin et al. (2014) states consumers of Western
countries have very similar buying behaviour. Hence, the personas developed will be based on
the three markets mentioned.
5.1 Segmentation & Targeting
5.1.1 Segment One: Domestic Market (Australian market)
10
This segment is identified as the target segment that Pana can position its marketing
strategy to increase brand awareness and subsequently drive sales.
Geography
In geo-map shown in Appendix 3, 33% Australians specifically search for ‘Pana
organic ice cream’ and it is further broken down into regions. Predominantly the search comes
from Victoria, followed by Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales. In Appendix
4, Google Trends shows the type of Pana products with some consumers specifically typing
the name of supermarket after. Pana is providing customers with easy accessibility to its
products. Long-term, Pana can promote its products to regions such as Northern Territory
and/or South Australia.
Demographics
In a recent survey by Euromonitor International (2020a), it is shown that consumers in
the age groups, 20-29 and 40-49 have approximately 50% of consumers who would look for
healthy ingredients in food and beverages, with majority stating that they are vegans (See
Appendix 5). More than 50% of the respondents between the ages 60 and above are would
often look for healthy ingredients and this is the segment that highly likely to purchase
sustainably produced items as they are the most sustainable and green segment (See Appendix
6).
Behaviour
In terms of behaviour, this report will focus on technology behaviour among Australian
consumers. Appendix 7 and 8 show consumers between the ages of 20-29 does the most online
shopping. Though consumers between the ages 40-49 and 60 and above spend more of their
time browsing online, they do not shop much online but instead would do in-store shopping
instead.
Psychographics
Domestic consumers bare similar values with other consumers in their demographic
groups that provides them with information reliability and/or security.
11
5.1.2 Segment Two: International Market (UK & EU markets)
This segment is identified as the target segment that could strengthen and build Pana’s
reputation and presence internationally.
Geography
In geo-map shown in Appendix 2, many consumers in both EU and UK countries search
vegan chocolate. The data is reflected in Pana’s international shipping information, with Pana
shipping to specific listed countries in EU and mainland UK (Pana Organic 2020c). Pana also
provides shipping to other countries that are not listed as well.
Demographics
In a recent survey by Euromonitor International (2020b), it is shown that consumers in
the age groups 20-29 and 60 and above have more than 50% of consumers who would look for
healthy ingredients in food and beverages whereas the middle age group of 40-49 are below
50%. The percentage vegans are fairly lower than the domestic market, indicating that the UK
market are still relatively new to veganism. (See Appendix 9). Unlike the Australian market,
results did not show that UK consumers are likely to purchase sustainability produced products
(See Appendix 10).
Behaviour
In terms of behaviour, this report will focus on technology behaviour among UK
consumers. Appendix 11 and 12 show consumers between the ages of 20-29 does the most
online shopping and browsing through or updating their social media. Consumers between the
ages 40-49 and 60 and above often spend their time browsing online (See Appendix 13), these
are the segments that are not as price conscious as the younger segments.
Psychographics
Appendix 10 shows the UK market sustainability values and lifestyle is not strong.
Previous research in consumer buying behaviour indicates that societal exposure reflects to
different consumption. For instance, veganism and sustainable living is not promoted as
much in UK due to the lack of products availability or exposure, and education among
12
consumers (Water 2018). This gives Pana an opportunity to not only promote the product but
to educate consumers on the health benefits of vegan and organic consumption.
5.2 Personas
The following personas presented represents both consumer segments in the
mentioned international and domestic markets. The personas are built from three age
groups that connects with Pana and how Pana can bridge with the gap of consumer
behaviour by positioning itself strategically based on the segmented target markets.
Figure 1: Customer Persona One Amanita, or Pana to target the first consumer demographic
in the age group 20-30.

Figure 2: Customer Persona Two Wolfgang, for Pana to target the first consumer
demographic in the age group 40-49
Figure 3: Customer Persona Three Jonas and Angelica, for Pana to target the first
consumer demographic in the age group 60 and above
14
5.3 Positioning
Reviewing the competitor analysis (See: Situation Analysis), Pana’s online value
proposition (OVP) is positioning itself as positioned itself a sustainable brand to merge both
healthy yet eco-friendly (Anderson 2016) in the digital sphere. Barbounis has intended to
position the company as a raw, organic chocolate that ‘Loves your insides’ and ‘Loves the
earth’ (Morrows 2012) ad has been diligently promoted it since the business started. Kietzmann
et al. (2011) presents the honeycomb framework of social media that distinguishes seven
functional building blocks of social media as a business tool for companies and the impacts or
implications on Pana’s business capabilities.

Table 3: Honeycomb Framework
15
A brief summary of marketing mix is derived the table above to help Pana target its segments.
Product - Both segments are health-conscious segments, regardless of the age groups. Pana
should distinguish which type of products to target based on different personas. For instance,
persona 3 tend to use Facebook often so Pana should push promotional campaigns on the
platform of its range of spreads or recipe book.
Price - Pana priced its products in a moderate price range comparatively to its competitors who
have highly priced their products.
Place - Pana should have the same product range across both online and offline distribution
channels.
Promotion - Using the 3 mention platforms to market its products as it can be considerably
more cost efficient.
6. Engagement and Content Strategy
6.1 Customer Contact Plan
Figure 4: Pana customer journey map

Table 4: Stages of the Pana Customer Journey Map
6.2 Key Brand Messages
Theme 1(Extrinsic
Motivation): Stand a chance to win a month’s supply of chocolate
Duration: Months that have special sales
Platform: Facebook and Instagram (stories & posts)
Target Audience: All 3 personas in the domestic market
Theme 2 (Intrinsic
Motivation): Personalise your own chocolate
Duration: Monthly campaign (but only to limit numbers of customers)
i.e. - Limited numbers of personalised chocolates per month
Platform: Facebook and Instagram (stories & posts)
Target Audience: All 3 personas in the international market
Theme 3 (Intrinsic
Motivation): Discover our recipe of the month…
Duration: Monthly
Platform: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn (stories & posts)
Target Audience: All 3 personas in both international and domestic markets
Table 5: Framework for Pana’s marketing campaigns
Theme 1
The rationale behind this campaign is to essentially increase sales for Pana in the
months that have (See part 7: Gantt Chart). To illustrates this, Pana could use similar tactic as
Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Extrinsic motivation was used to entice
customers to buy more chocolates and in return a reward was giving to the customers. This
naturally increased sales. Waters (2018) further notes that the AU, UK and EU markets favours
17
Facebook and Instagram than other platforms. The campaign will entail customers purchasing
chocolate bars and having a lucky winner to win a month’s supply of Pana products. Instagram
and Facebook have tools such as the ‘Swipe Up’ and ‘Learn More’ tool that Pana could link
the campaign for customers to participate. Pana should use the concept as it blends with its
traditional in-store purchase efforts by utilising Facebook and Instagram.
Theme 2 and Theme 3
Themes 2 and 3 ties into the intrinsic motivation of the campaigns. Through the
campaigns, Pana could spark customers’ curiosity and fulfil their purposes. This will create
brand awareness among customers who are seeking for vegan products and entices customers
who are unaware of the brand (Di Domenico and Ryan 2017). To illustrates this, customers
could personalise chocolate boxes through 2 simple pages that the customer types his/her
name and chooses a desired image to be printed onto the box. Pana already does short recipes
on Instagram and on Facebook. However, to create a bond between customers and the brand,
Pana could have a short caption to encourage customers to participate in creating luscious
desserts using their recipes. This will not only create brand awareness, but it will allow Pana
to bridge across different groups of personas.
The following are examples brand message for Pana in relation to the table above on
the 3 platforms:
18
i) Instagram
19
ii) Facebook
20
iii) LinkedIn
21
7. Activation and Measurement Plan

Table 6: Monitoring and Measurement for Pana
The below figures of the budget table are based on the rationale of the lowest cost for all channels listened. It is calculated on the basis of
a minimum average per day and derived from WebFx (2020) estimated price list of the platforms (See Appendix 14 and 15). The total estimated
25
budget for Pana for the next 12 months is $10,486.45. It will optimally provide the business lower cost on customer acquisition by optimising
the conversion rate (Di Fatta et al. 2018), following Pareto’s 80/20 rule. In the long run, it will be more cost effective for Pana in the next 12
months if the suggested strategies were to be properly executed.
