identifying new market opportunities for a maturing industry
Challenge
An industry association undertakes market research on behalf of member companies as part of its mandate. In this case, it wanted to examine different beverage categories to assess the relationship between rates of consumption and the visual attributes of a product.

Strategy
The Strategic Counsel employed two complementary lines of research. We undertook qualitative research to probe consumer attitudes to different types of beverages and examine the brand values associated with them. We also did a telephone/placed–mail survey to develop a two–week diary of respondents' beverage–consumption behavior and, through a questionnaire, to gauge their attitudes and value judgements about different beverages.

Results
Our research successfully identified a business opportunity for the association. It was used to develop targeted brand communications that enhanced the appeal of beverage products to specific age groups.
