The Result - Catalyx delivered the strategic direction needed for a successful U.S. launch of a new organic ready-to-drink cold brew range. The product line, designed around key consumer needs, gained strong traction — particularly among younger American coffee drinkers — and significantly enhanced the brand’s presence in the competitive ready-to-drink coffee segment.
The Challenge - The client sought to penetrate the U.S. cold brew market and needed deep consumer understanding to differentiate in a crowded and rapidly evolving landscape. The objective was to develop a product that would resonate with the right audiences and meet clearly defined consumption occasions and preferences.
How we did it - Using our award-winning Consumer Activation System, we engaged target consumers to generate over 12,000 data points. Across six exploratory activities, we uncovered essential insight into taste preferences, consumption moments, and perceived benefits. Concept testing followed, covering product ideas, messaging, and creative executions. Our strategic recommendations enabled the client to confidently tailor their product offering to meet market expectations and ensure successful in-market entry.
