Case study – Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG)

Please note: Much of my work is covered by Non Disclosure Agreements, so I can’t be too detailed on this page.

Challenge

Faced with falling sales, a global brand of men’s toiletries products wanted to relaunch its digital communications.
I was called in by the brand’s agency to examine the product’s UK digital marketing, and to recommend a new direction for its digital content and social media.

What I did

  • Various desk research, including incorporating focus group research.
  • Audited the existing digital communications.
  • Benchmarked the digital communications against key competitors.
  • Audience Intent Modelling – to reveal the communication gaps separating customers from the brand – and to reveal the topics and themes that resonate.
  • Persona creation.
  • Insight discovery – summarised the key findings – the “truths” that can be used to amplify the impact of the digital content and social media.
  • Documented recommendations, and arguments, with examples of approaches to take.
  • Presented to the agency’s planning team.

Results

My initial research was well received and was used as the basis for the creative work. Sales of the products have now risen.
