The Challenge

A beverage manufacturer needed to evaluate two newly developed prototypes across different flavours, comparing them against existing products and market competitors.

Our Approach

How we worked the problem

  1. 01

    Performance Appraisal — identified the stronger prototype for each variant by benchmarking against predetermined standards

  2. 02

    Product Enhancements — recommended specific attribute improvements like mouthfeel and sweetness to strengthen market competitiveness

  3. 03

    Market-Based Consumer Analysis — analysed regional consumer preferences, noting variations driven by competitor brand perception and presence

Results

What changed

  • Client implemented recommended enhancements before launch
  • Resulting product exceeded consumer expectations
  • Strengthened the brand's competitive position in the beverage market

Consumer opinions varied significantly by markets, primarily due to the stronger perception and presence of competitor brands.
