For years, Energizer batteries used the Energizer Bunny in its television commercials.
The bunny was cute, always beating a drum with the tagline, "The Energizer Bunny
keeps going and going and going." Several of the ads were humorous. Viewers could
remember the battery ad with the bunny, but for a long time, people could not name the
brand of battery. In response, Energizer started putting the bunny on the packaging and
using it in point-of-purchase displays in stores, even going so far as to let consumers
enter a drawing to take home the bunny that was on top of the battery display. The
creative team that worked on this campaign spent considerable time researching
consumers' usage of batteries as well as the problems they had with them. The team
learned that people didn't like batteries that don't last long, and because Energizer
batteries lasted much longer than competitors' brands, they decided to feature that in the
execution of the ads.
In which step of the creative process did the creative team read, research, and learn
everything they could about Energizer batteries and their competitors?
A) immersion
B) ideation
C) incubation
D) illumination
