Background

A leading 25-year-old CPG brand wanted a better understanding of the markets they currently serve, their market potential and coverage, and the effectiveness of their distribution channels. The decisions for market expansion, manpower hiring, product enhancements, brand visibility, marketing campaigns etc., were based on either normal market feedback, executive’s perceptions, or from various consulting firms. The board decided they wanted to change their decision-making processes to a more accurate, data-driven approach with the goal of growing their global presence and market share.
