Premier Foods, owner of a UK brand portfolio that includes such household names as Mr Kipling, Ambrosia and Batchelors, needed to put consumers at the centre of their ten-year plan for growth, to ensure these well-loved brands stayed relevant in consumers\u2019 lives.<\/p>

We used in-depth qualitative and complex quantitative techniques to build a multi-category landscape framework, drawing on \u2013 among others \u2013 the key elements of occasions, needs and consumer typologies. We built it to be fit-for-purpose for today, but crucially also future-proofed it for tomorrow.<\/p>

The resultant framework was strategically important and rich with potential.\u00a0 But it couldn\u2019t just be left to work its own way into the organisation\u2019s business culture. Ultimately, the outputs needed to be honed and owned by brand teams. The tools we created, and the thinking they inspired, had to command the confidence of senior management and then had to deliver for multiple functional teams.

<\/p>

So we developed a series of presentations, informal sessions and full-on creative workshop events to enable the right people to encounter and interact with the outputs in the right way. Everything we provided and did was optimised to ensure the framework took root.<\/p>

We challenged teams\u2019 thinking to make sure the resultant brand challenges and opportunities were properly understood in depth and could be built into their strategy. We left only when the framework was fully owned as a language throughout the business \u2013 as something teams could instinctively work with and derive implications and actions from.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Incite team live up to their name. They are true partners in the way they approach working with the team and create an environment where everyone is able to contribute and innovate.\nTheir workshop style approach ensures that everyone buys into the outcome and actions. Project deliverables have never just been a tick box exercise and they truly come up with tools\/outputs\/ideas that can be taken forward in a pragmatic way. \nIf they had a Google review page - it would have over 1,000 five star reviews. If they were a restaurant, they'd have a double Michelin star. That is genuinely how it feels to work with them.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
