A leading branded food company set out to further develop its Marketing Team's capabilities—enabling them to make a more meaningful, brand-driven contribution to the business planning process.

The challenge

A major food manufacturer's marketing team needed to elevate its craft, producing communications concepts that were updated, relevant, and built on what the company was already doing well. Leadership wanted more than incremental improvement—they wanted their people to genuinely own a customer-centric mindset, grounding every communication concept in real customer data and insight.

What we did

Acumen designed a capability-building engagement to make customer insight the backbone of the team's communications work. We:

  1. Deployed the Acumen 6-Step Insight Generator™ to sharpen core competencies in customer insight generation and forge a clear, strategic connection to Concept Statement development
  2. Established a shared language and structured framework for insighting and concept development the team could apply consistently

The impact

The engagement broadened the team's capabilities through a new framework, equipping them to move past established habits and adopt fresher, more effective approaches. Marketing and product teams sharpened their ability to read and respond to customer needs—translating into communications that are more relevant and genuinely customer-centric.

In their words

The output during the presentation can be utilized by their respective brands as it has provided actionable steps based on the interview they have conducted.​
