Define and create the Fresco brand and various brand touch points needed to launch the company in the Miami market.
The concept delivering and serving fresh, non-pasteurized coconut water is both novel and logistically challenging due to the limited shelf life of the product. Therefore, targeting an audience of affluent and active young adults such as runners and bikers, who already drink coconut water and seek out natural, organic products is likely the best way to get traction quickly.
Fresco will only be offered in select local markets such as Florida, Hawaii and parts of Mexico, and in small quantities depending on the availability of coconuts. As a result, marketing efforts will need to be focused and limited in scale to keep the budget in balance with the maximum potential revenue that can be generated by the business.
Initially, the primary objective is to create and define the brand ID and packaging for Fresco. Other brand touch points such as the website, including e-commerce capabilities will incorporate custom photography and testimonial videos to position Fresco for success and drive home the benefits of locally sources, all-natural, fresh coconut water.
The marketing strategy consists of the client creating a presence and retail capabilities along routes runners and bikers use regularly throughout Miami. Initial locations will include Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove and Pinecrest, where the client plans to setup a coconut water stand to raise awareness, pass out samples, retail the product and gather contact information for repeat business.
Green Dot will aim to support the company’s grass roots efforts by creating engaging graphics for the coconut water stands including banners, headers and possibly graphics for a booth. The primary focus for Green Dot however is to help create awareness in the digital realm. The objective is to enroll each potential customer in an email drip campaign to inform them about the benefits of fresh coconut water, and link them to the website so they can enroll in a subscription delivery plan.
Digital marketing efforts include using a combination of social media ads (static images and video ads), as well keywords on Google like “buy coconut water” to target runners and bikers in the Miami area and drive them directly to the Fresco website. Adding retargeting display ads to the media mix ensures provides a low-cost channel to continually create awareness among consumers that have already been exposed to the brand.
Green Dot highly recommends allocating a sufficient budget to a content marketing campaign that will continually nurture prospects and existing customers alike through social media posts, occasional blog articles and personalized, contextual emails reminding users to re-order, refer friends and inform them about upcoming local events and promotions.
Recommended projects and campaigns include:
A relevant, distinct and visually appealing brand identity your target audience identifies with is imperative for success in a crowded marketplace.
Green Dot takes a holistic approach to designing logos and brand identities. We don’t present raw ideas, we deliver finished concepts with a variety of touch points.
Select the appropriate brand ID for their business venture with confidence when you see the website home page design, business card layout and brochure design along with the logo and tagline concepts. That’s why our process includes all the necessary steps in one round.
Shooting lifestyle scenes of active young adults biking and running along iconic Miami locations will ensure the target audience instantly connects with the images. We recommend sourcing video of consumers trying and commenting on the product to generate video testimonials, along with shooting high-impact and moody lifestyle action shots as well as product packaging lit in a studio setting.
Project includes designing the product packaging graphics for Fresco coconut water for a single size bottle, as well as the box of 6 or 12 bottles. This project leverages the approved visual concept from the brand ID project and includes the layout and production work for the bottle label, as well as the shipment box product packaging. Both include branding, graphics, nutritional information, ingredients and barcode.
This website is quoted as a custom site built on the WordPress platform and includes a content management system (CMS) to allow the client to add and edit content without html coding. The website will also integrate the new brand as well as utilize Woo Commerce to enroll users in a subscription for home delivery of the product in regular intervals.
The website will be designed for both mobile devices and desktop computers with mobile responsive code ensuring content renders consistently on tablets and smartphones.
Project includes a 4″ x 9″ double sided hand out explaining the benefits of fresh, non-pasteurized coconut water, how to buy it and how it’s sourced.
Design and produce a modular display booth and custom outdoor signage.
This project include the graphic design work for a modular booth (backdrop and counter graphics only) selected by the client in the 8′ – 10′ range. Additionally, the project includes artwork for a hanging banner, a pull-up banner, and 3 faces for the product cooler box on the tricycle.
Google AdWords allows your website or landing pages to be listed prominently on Google when people search for relevant keywords. A Google AdWords certified marketer can help you write targeted ads that cost less than your competitors are paying by optimizing each part of your campaign.
Video ads can be placed on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube where they can reach a wide target audience at a low cost, especially when compared to television placements. Research shows everyone from Millennials to senior business executives now prefers video over text and that video can increase conversions by over 65%.
Digital display ads are used to retarget all prospects who visited your website but did not complete the desired action. These display ads can be shown to visitors from all traffic sources. The retargeting ads run on a wide network of websites that support display advertising and “follow” your prospects from site to site as the browse the net, giving you a second and third opportunity to close the deal.
A well executed and contextual email marketing campaign is the key to success. Green Dot highly recommends investing into a sophisticated marketing automation platform to allow email messages to be personalized, contextual and segmented by audience.
This project is ongoing and includes creating segmented email drip campaigns for prospects and customers, as well as bikers and runners. In addition, these emails workflows will be contextual, based on the satisfaction and re-order rate of customers.

Engaging and original content is vital to the success of every advertising campaign. Content can be shared via email and social media while helping to drive SEO rankings and free traffic for important long-tail keywords. Proprietary content in the form of well researched blog posts, and branded social media graphics engage visitors who are researching brands and evaluating the competition.
This service provides clients with individually researched and well written blog posts, as well as customized social media graphics on an ongoing basis.
Green Dot ensures you know how your campaigns are performing at all times. Clients have direct access to the marketers working on their campaigns as well as to reporting platforms like Google Analytics (website performance), RavenTools (campaign performance) and Call Tracking Metrics (phone call lead tracking).
How much you spend on media every month is totally up to you. The more you spend, the greater your reach and frequency. Green Dot provides recommendations and guidance based on campaign performance and objectives, while allowing clients to adjust their budgets as needed.
Green Dot does not bill clients for media insertion, or require a minimum budget. Instead, we only invoice for media planning and campaign management. We manage and execute the media buys, create all ads, a/b test the ads, optimize your monthly spend (we may suggest increasing / decreasing the budget allocation depending on a channel’s performance) and report on the results.
All media expenditures are the responsibility of the client and are billed directly to the client by the media vendor or advertising platform. This approach creates pricing transparency and trust, while allowing media budgets to be adjusted as needed.
Green Dot includes these media management services at no additional charge with your marketing retainer up to the specified monthly threshold. Scaling the media buy beyond this baseline triggers a media management fee of 12% applied only to the net new spend above the included monthly threshold.
