USE OF FUTURE TRENDS: COMBINING TREND AND SEGMENTATION
INSIGHT TO INFORM STRATEGY AND INNOVATION
What
− A global food and drink manufacturer wanted to understand
the key opportunities that would arise from changing needs
in Lat Am & implications for future strategy, investment &
innovation
How
− We mapped onto the client’s segmentation our proprietary
insight of trends and understanding of their macro drivers.
This identified the evolution of consumer need states.
− Working with the client, we projected which of these need
states would grow and within which cohort groups.
Benefit
− The interrogation of these projections revealed a series of
key growth areas and priority targets for investment &
innovation.
− Consequently two new products tailored for the growing
need states in particular demographics were successfully
developed and launched within 12 months.
