The Result - The baby food category had become a sea of sameness, and innovation had gone stale — so a leading baby food brand turned to Catalyx to help shake up the category.
The Challenge - The baby food category had become a sea of sameness, with little brand differentiation and declining innovation. Consumer needs were no longer being meaningfully addressed, leading to stagnation in the category and limited emotional connection with parents and caregivers.
How we did it - Using our award-winning qual at quant scale research approach, we gathered over 50,000 pieces of consumer data to reveal both functional drivers and emotional motivations. Our strategists turned this into a clear, story-led understanding of the “why” behind behaviour, enabling the client to confidently move forward with a differentiated and commercially successful product range.
