KEY FACTS:
We began our engagement with a tactical challenge: How can we create, and launch, a brand new LTO (limited-time offer) that drives traffic. R&D had developed an array of tantalizing possibilities. But we quickly isolated the missing ingredient: context.
We immediately went to work, discovering what mattered most to the target consumers — their hidden desires, emotional need-states, and situational purchasing drivers. By surfacing both context and relevancy, we then helped the client develop, position, optimize, and launch a truly compelling offering that became one of the most beloved products — and successful launches — in company history.
Emboldened by this victory, and inspired by BrandIQ’s unique deliverables, our client gained the confidence to ask much bigger questions about game-changing innovation within their market category.
We produced custom deliverables — streamlined booklets, chapbooks, and other take-aways — filled with inspiring, tangible ways to visualize the company’s future state and the path to get there.
Through our next-generation innovation process that included cultural and culinary trend context, we are, together, imagining a future that will give consumers an experience they will love.
