resources / Case study

Background:

A major manufacturer of coffee launched a new flavor, but its performance was not as expected from the controlled sensory testing. Data from a Brand Tracker provided some metrics, but gave little insight into consumers usage and preparation as well as their feelings.

Approach

  • Validated receipts of leveraged to target known flavored coffee drinkers
  • Product sent or purchased
  • Online survey, for two different occasions, collecting metrics aligned to sensory and coffee A&U
  • Open End and Video self ethnography for richer feedback and preparation capture

Results

  • Rich Human and Consumer Insight that shed light on the new flavor’s poor performance
  • Video Sizzle brought to life the reaction to the flavor from different preparation methods
