Cadbury Marketing Codes

The ‘marketing mix’ is the term used to describe the combination of different activities necessary for a product to be successful. It is often described as ‘the 4 P’s’ i.e.

PRODUCT = the good or service sold by the organisation;

PRICE = the way in which the selling price is decided;

PROMOTION = how customers are made aware of the product;

PLACE = how the product is sold and ‘delivered’ to the final customer. Cadbury when promoting abides to the following marketing codes:

Copy, sound and visual presentation will accurately represent all material dimensions of products advertised, including taste, size, content and nutrition and health benefits.

All our advertising will be truthful, accurate and well substantiated. Health benefit claims will have a sound nutritional basis and comply with applicable government regulations.

Our advertising will reflect moderation in consumption and portion sizes appropriate to the social and cultural setting portrayed.

Our advertising will never portray or endorse inappropriate or over consumption. Unless a food product has been nutritionally designed as a meal replacement, it will not be portrayed as such.

In every country where we advertise we will be attentive to local, cultural, political and religious sensitivities and always market within the highest common denominator of any existing regulatory, advertiser, agency and broadcaster guidelines.

We will apply these guidelines to all forms of media including print, broadcast and cable television, radio, video, telephone, point-of-sale, online advertising, other internet activities and packaging. This code is reviewed annually by the group's President of

We will, where appropriate, capitalise on the potential of advertising to influence behaviour by developing advertising that supports positive and beneficial social behaviour including sensible consumption, friendship, kindness, justice, honesty, generosity and respect of others, and in so doing expose children to the benefits of constructive advertising approaches.

Prior to release, all advertisements and promotions to children will be reviewed at an early stage for the appropriateness of the activity and then checked against this code before being signed off by business unit general managers. In addition, there will be a periodic review of business unit activity by regional and global management to ensure that interpretation of the code is aligned locally, regionally and globally.
