The Situation
Food Co.* had long emphasized profits at the expense of brand equity, product innovation, market leadership and category strategy. The company returned to growth mode by getting back to basics: focusing on its core, promoting hero brands and eliminating weak sellers.
Our Approach
    
        
            
            
                        - A renewed focus on core and hero brands.
 
        - Coordinated plans for hero brands. We worked with cross-functional teams—notably sales and marketing leaders—to redirect media spending to hero brands, rationalize SKUs and outline promotion and pricing strategies.
 
        - New retail partnerships to reclaim category leadership.
 
        - New brand launch to reach a high-potential customer segment.
