The Challenge: Marketing and Operational Pressures

The client, a global leader faced a crucial challenge: how to increase brand popularity and multiply usage triggers among its target audience, creating deeper engagement.

A key objective for the brand was to deliver a consistent and personalized experience across all consumer touchpoints. Without these insights, the brand risked losing its competitive edge in an increasingly saturated market. In the face of rising competition, the company sought to strengthen its position as an 'irresistible brand of choice,' one that consumers would turn to time and again for their energy needs.

The need for a data-driven approach to connect with consumers, enhance brand loyalty, and deliver tangible financial outcomes was clear across the leadership team.

The team applied 56 carefully crafted statements on a 5-point rating scale, capturing valuable insights on consumer preferences. One unique challenge they tackled was handling the "Don’t know" responses. These ambiguous responses were not discarded; instead, Datamatics used a supervised machine learning technique to convert them into actionable insights, ensuring no data was left underutilized.

This strategic shift helped the brand deliver personalized experiences that resonated with each segment, strengthening their market position.
