Find the Signal

Win back the under-25s for a regional water brand

A family-run mineral water brand from the Alps sells well to families in northern Italian supermarkets, but buyers under 25 barely know it. The marketing team has a small budget and no data on this group. They need someone who can listen to young people, read the market and propose a campaign that fits the brand instead of copying trends.

Project abstract

We mapped 1,200 failed deliveries from the last quarter: two in three happen on the same twelve rural routes, between 2pm and 5pm, when nobody is home.

We propose evening slots on those routes, chosen by the customer at checkout, with a six-week pilot in one region to measure the effect on returns.

After publishing,everything on MARA.
