We are an end- to end Growth Boutique for the FMCG industry. We focus to deliver growth for your core businesses through innovation.
This means we help with:
- Designing and implementing an end- to end innovation process with a clear governance model
- Setting up and preparing the management to evaluate and assess innovations as an investor and helping them to apply innovation accounting and metered funding principles.
- Identify and train your marketing and innovation talents to deliver on high strategic innovation projects
-The creation of start-up friendly and agile support processes that enable your teams to learn faster, better and more consumer centric.
We help our clients to develop growth strategies and identify opportunity spaces. We do this based on:
- The identification of under- and overserved consumers and their jobs to be done.
- Understanding the investment landscape and startup- and scale-up activity.
- Mapping the competitive landscape
- Sizing the Total Addressable Market (TAM)
We help companies with the following challenges:
- How can we re-position existing products in our portfolio for new occasions or needs?
- Help us recruit new consumers for our brand and create a validated acquisition strategy.
- Our core business is declining in certain markets. Help us change this around.
- Help us stretch our brand to new occasions and product formats and capture more volume and frequency.
- Help us to understand how we can take a premium position in a highly competitive market.
- Help us to understand and validate new ‘route to markets’, different channels and new technologies (NFT’s, Metaverse, Web3.0) to create brand loyalty (for example Starbucks Odyssee).
- Help us to develop a new loyalty model for our brand.
- Help us to create a portfolio of platforms and product concepts for the upcoming year(s).
- How can we use new channels (Roblox, Amazon etc.) and technologies (NFT’s, Web 3.0 applications) to drive brand growth for our existing brands?
With our data driven and test and learn approach we can help you optimize your marketing (PFME) spend across channels and improve your ROI of your e-commerce platforms. We help companies with the following challenges:
- Improve sales performance across channels and optimise the media spend.
- Improve D2C sales in your e-commerce platform, or e-retailer like Amazon.
- Help us to create a (online) winning marketing campaign for our
brand.
Therefor in order to achieve long-term success, large corporations should develop the capabilities internally that allows them to win.
In our capability programs (workshops & coaching) we help (senior) management team understand the frameworks, processes and tools to start, judge and fund new innovations.
But we also focus on developing the right mindset and habits to make sure, when we are out of the building; a way of working is implemented.
We know the FMCG industry by heart. Our team worked in different large corporations for different brands. We have hold multiple senior leadership positions and know how it is to stand in your shoes as a business leader. We understand the needs, pressures and restraints of the business and have experience in all aspects of brand growth and innovation.
The way marketing and innovation is executed needs to change. Linear, expensive and blueprint approaches to complex innovation, growth and brand challenges are not working. The success rate of new products within the FMCG space is on average less than 10%. We apply a hypothesis driven test & learn methodology specifically tailored to the FMCG industry.
With our extensive experience and your category and brand knowledge we can formulate new ideas and assumptions for growth and test these systematically to make data informed decisions.
Creating desirable, feasible and viable products is the challenge for large corporations and brands. In order to invest resources into new products and innovations we focus on a sharp business case or stop projects early.
Working with multi disciplinary teams makes sure we get your internal capabilities mixed with our external learning. In this way we deliver product propositions, positioning and communication direction(s) that you can market truly successfully and leverage your internal capabilities. Business involvement is embedded in our process.
