Strategic Insights And Market Analysis

  • Target your brand against specific channels and consumer groups
  • Discover opportunities to expand your brand’s footprint
  • Gain insight into emerging trends
  • Take advantage of new market opportunities

Brand Insights and Innovation

When engaging to innovate a current or new brand, we’ve found that talking to consumers in that spirits segment is the best way to get learning to help ensure success.

Whether its brand positioning, packaging, or taste profile, getting input from your current or perspective customers is a competitive advantage. We’ve worked with our clients to develop and implement a cost-effective consumer insights plan with great success!

In the competitive beverage industry, advantages are short-lived and the need to innovate is continuous.

We can help you define the role of innovation within your organization, which will provide your company an annuity in future earnings and competitive advantage.

Innovation services include, but are not limited to:

  • New product development
  • New concept pipeline
  • Product & packaging design efficiency analysis
  • Channel specific products
  • Technology innovation (including mobile application development and implementation)
  • Stage-gate approach for organizational alignment

Small Investments in Research Can Yield Big Dividends:

A Mexican spirit brand wanted to relaunch itself in the market as a distinct spirit category.

We first spoke to and surveyed Mexican spirit drinkers to understand the positioning and perceptions of the competitive landscape.

Using that insight, we developed brand statements and took those into focus groups and on-line surveys to hone the story and the packaging.

Finally, we conducted a taste test to find the “sweet spot” on taste to make sure we had a great product going to market.

Our insight is that investing a moderate amount of dollars in research can have a big payoff in future earnings.

Leveraging Technology to Regain Distributor Interest:

An estblished wine importer is suffering from lack of attention by its distributors.

We worked with them to develop and deploy mobile applications for its sales force. The importer regained critical distributor support and execution while improving their technical infrastructure.

Brand Marketing And Activation

From brand positioning to in-market execution, we have the experience and expertise you need to help your brand succeed.

Our services include, but are not limited to, brand SWOT and implications, taste profile testing and development, packaging strategies, advertising and promotional development and retail strategies

Distributor Management Strategies

  • Today’s beverage industry is consolidated across the entire spectrum, from producer to retailer.
  • The key gatekeeper in our unique industry is the distributor.
  • Distributors have too many brands, fewer resources and not enough time or manpower to meet all of their brand owners’ demands.
  • Success in the market place depends on you, the brand owner, and the strength of your brand.
  • Our firm can help you develop market-proven ways to help you and your distributors gain the distribution you need and the consumer pull-through that will ensure your brand’s continued growth and success.

Using Effective Planning to Improve Distribution Results:

A mid-sized wine importer with a long history of contentious relationships with its distributors worked with us to redefine its approaches to those distributors.

Our team built sound and consistent plans with meaningful outcomes and rewards for the distributors. As a result, relationships were restored and in one instance, the company was put on the distributor’s “up-and-coming” suppliers list. This gave the importer increased attention and support from the distributor’s management and sales force..

Business in that distributorship increased over 20% in a year’s time.
