CASE STUDY: Using Data to Uncover Whitespace and Optimize Pillar Positioning for CPG Products

Want to learn how companies are using Helio to uncover untapped high-potential opportunities for their products and optimize CPG category management?

In this case study, you’ll see how a nutrition shake and smoothie company did exactly that.

Koia wanted to configure data about product pillar positioning and CPG whitespace analysis in a way that would reveal strategic disruption opportunities.

Specifically, they wanted insights about product categories where the pillars could be positioned as core values but are not currently being positioned in that way — as well as categories where the pillars might already be present but aren’t being positioned properly or prominently enough. 

Using Helio’s Category and Attribute Intelligence to Uncover New Category Opportunities for Existing Products

With Helio, Koia gained new levels of visibility and data-driven insights to power significant decisions by digging into:

  • CPG trends

  • Brand, attribute, and category comparison

  • Category taxonomy

  • Customer sentiment

By using the data and CPG insights from Helio, Koia was able to see categories where two of the three pillars (Low Sugar and Plant Based) were not being leveraged. This revealed pockets of opportunity for disruption within the market based on low brand positioning and consumer engagement.

The company found opportunities to create brand equity with new consumers in these categories. To learn more about these and other findings, click here to download the case study.
