Four markets, one brand story: positioning a vitamin brand across Asia and Africa

Business Issues & Project Objectives

Our client is a leading pharmaceutical company in Indonesia that owns various brands in OTC and vitamin category. ​ The client wants to expand one of their vitamin brands to 4 markets (Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Nigeria), and want to develop a positioning based on a strong insight that can cut across four markets.​

Our Approach

Mixed methods across the 4 markets:​

  • Semiotic analysis on health /wellness and beauty trends ​
  • Online Focus Group Discussions in multiple cities in each market​
  • Online brand positioning workshop using MIRO and Zoom to extract key insights and develop brand positioning using Brand Key approach​
  • Follow up Quantitative concept test in each of the 4 markets​

Outcome and Project impact

From the study, we were able to identify various insights that are relevant to local culture and also insights that are relevant across all markets.​  In the workshop, we developed 4 positioning routes that will be developed further by the brand design agency into brand books that serves as a guideline for the brand.
