Strategic marketing

Align short with longer term and aim to create a healthy business is what strategic marketing provides.
A healthy business is a metaphor for a healthy person. Applying marketing models will broaden your perspective on the company, customers and competition. It will define your strategy that in turn guide your tactics and operations so that you're not only doing the right things, you're also doing the things right! 


 


Market research

Align gut feeling with facts to make better decisions! Maximize the Return on Intelligence of existing data and translate that into knowledge that in its turn is applied to your business. That will identify blind spots for which feasible market research can be determined. Several food categories lack the budget or coverage for comprehensive primary market research, through triangulation and creativity an educated guess is pursued increasing the quality and validity of insights.

 


Concept development

The concept approach in the food sector provide opportunities to improve the match between demand & offering. For Mutrition the focus is to align taste with nutrition developed into concepts having in mind that every food brand/product is first and foremost to be delicious and nowadays at the same time to be nutritious (depending on the category).
Through recipe optimization, renovation or even innovation current concepts can be optimized or new categories can be developed.

WHY....

....it is smart to support your business with marketing:

  • Companies that not only focus on short term but also pay attention to long term have proven to be more successful [supermerk-4-warren-buffett-rules]
  • Due to increased complexity and change is happening faster it is more challenging to understand the market and anticipate on it
  • Innovation in the market is often unsuccessful and product life cycles shorter, efficient and effective innovation is therefore ever more important
  • Majority of food offered in today's supermarket is considered unhealthy while relevance of a healthy lifestyle increases given the health status of the public
  • Marketing communication of food that's contributing to ones health falls short with marcom for unhealthy food where a shift is required through smart and creative approaches
