Report Highlights

A number of successes benefit by offering more personalized features and benefits. This is because in a world of proliferating commodity choices, hyper targeting provides a route to enhanced relevance. Bot Water, for example, repositioned itself to significant success, after realizing it was appealing more among health-conscious adults than kids.

There would appear to be particularly profitable opportunities at the intersection of trends. For example, First Cape in the UK has effectively married consumers health concerns with their sensory needs to garner success in a cluttered market segment.

Many successes are testament to a brand's ability to identify and deliver against consumers' unmet needs or needs that are not totally fulfilled by existing products in the landscape. Even in the highly mature cereal market, Kellogg's Krave, carved out a growth area by focusing solely on providing young adults with taste and indulgence.
