THE P IN CPG – INCREDIBLE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL Packaging is the marketing lever with the greatest and quickest upside
Only pack design:
• Reaches 100% of likely buyers at the first moment of truth
• Requires a relatively low investment
• Embodies the brand and product strategy

WE ALL KNOW THIS, AND YET….
Package design is the most effective and enduring medium to communicate with consumers
More than 2/3rds of purchase decisions are made in store
In-home, packaging acts as a key driver of usage and repeat

DISAPPOINTING OUTCOMES Prevailing approaches lead to weak results. The process is frustrating for all parties involved – insights, agency, marketer – and ultimately consumer
Sources: Data point 1: 2014 Nielsen CPG Pack Design Study. Data point 2&3: PRS
VISIBILITY GAP
Among significant category brands, there is a 70% gap between the most and least visible designs
70%
FAILURE RATE
Half of redesign attempts fail to improve over current in validation
50%
NO IMPACT
Only 10-15% of executed redesigns result in
measurable sales growth
90%

RE-ENERGIZING AN UNDERDOG • 95 year old beef jerky brand
• In 2009, Oberto and FritoLay parted ways- reverting Oberto to a stand alone CPG company for the first time in a decade
• Dwarfed by Jack Links, the category leader with significant distribution and ad spend
• Identified an opportunity to reposition as a high quality, “better for you” jerky
• A package redesign was the primary driver of the restage given limited marketing budgets and that 75% of jerky purchase decisions are made at the shelf

INSPIRATION FROM OUTSIDE THE CATEGORY The agency considered breakthrough visual approaches of successful brands targeting the health conscious consumers – but which of these creative routes would translate well to Oberto in the jerky category?

for example…

DYNAMIC SPACE VETTING The full dynamic space is first vetted with your consumers to identify three high potential design concepts to advance to the final assessment stage
X 50
X 240
x 192
This particular dynamic space consists of 482 potential design concepts
The three leading designs can come from any of the tested layouts
The vetting methodology considers both breadth and intensity of appeal

CONSUMERS BEING CONSUMERS …not Art Directors
• Throughout the vetting and measurement stage, consumers are only shown holistic design concepts
• Convergence to top design concepts is driven by hundreds of consumers simply making choices between alternative packages
• In the final measurement stage, design concepts are assessed using several innovative approaches – none of which expect them to be an art critic or provide design direction
• Throughout, consumers are grounded in the competitive context to improve the reliability of their responses

RESULTS Despite being a bold departure from the current, long established design, Oberto launched their new design direction with confidence that it would drive sales and carve out a distinctive position in the category.
The agency took the selected design concept into focused refinement and extended across the flavors and line extensions – in record time.
The brand generated retail excitement, expanded distribution and double digit sales lift.
