Off The Eaten Path
Innovation: 3-week brand creation sprint

PepsiCo identified an opportunity to launch into the growing vegetable snacking category. The area was rapidly becoming dominated by start-up brands, so the project team needed to move fast.

We were approached to help create a Minimum Viable Product that could be launched within 10 months. To do that, we’d need to work with consumers to move from early concepts and production constraints to a cohesive brand, product and positioning in a matter of weeks.

We deployed an agile Sprint approach which interlinked three phases: Lifestream self-ethnography, a Semiotics and Trends deep-dive, and multi-disciplinary collaborative Co-creation Workshops that pulled the insights together and built the proposition.
