Rejuvenate a Coffee Legend

Introduction

Melitta has been a family-owned, global coffee brand since 1908.

Melitta identified China as a high potential market, and required a precise brand positioning to further gain shares of a highly competitive and innovative market.

We conducted social media listening, e-commerce data analysis, and qualitative consumers workshop to verify and localise the brand.

Research: Social Media

First we studied the brand market landscape, target consumers and competitor analysis through social media listening and E-Commerce data analysis.

We identified the current brand internal strengths and external oppurtunities through our 1E 2S 3C 4P system which provides a foundation for our qualitative workshop.
