Challenge
 
Our client acquired a 120 year old company with an icon Australian brand but failing profits. A fast, independent assessment was required before the new management team came in.
 
Approach
 
  MARKET RESEACH  
 
Trade research was needed to understand why retailers had abandoned such a powerful brand.
     
  BUSINESS ANALYSIS  
 
A review of the existing consumer research told us that the brand was gold, but a flawed sales strategy was alienating independent retailers. Internal system failures were
also rife.
     
  STRATEGY  
 
A diagnostic report highlighted the weaknesses and opportunities to improve performance.
