Montagu
In partnership with Just Design
Website

BACKGROUND

A trusted South African brand, known for our moreish array of dried fruit and nuts. Regarded as a pioneer in the snacking industry for offering a delicious and diverse range of modern snack options that support consumers who aspire to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Problem

Over the last 10 years they have grown significantly and continued to add products to their range. This resulted in a fragmentation of messaging and branding across all channels. Continually diluting their brand awareness and potentially losing market share to new entrants.

INSIGHT

Montagu is a well known & trusted South African brand, launching new brands to compete with new entrants will result in Montagu not leveraging their equity in the market and will likely result in loss of market share.

SOLUTION

To adopt a Masterbrand approach to all the products in their portfolio and new ranges should fall under the Masterbrand. Defining key segments within the category and developing products that meet their needs without cannibalising the rest of the portfolio.

RESULT

Consistent and impactful communication across all channels and products, successfully defending their position in the market and creating a springboard for new product innovations.

TESTIMONIAL

Over the last 10 years they have grown significantly and continued to add products to their range. This resulted in a fragmentation of messaging and branding across all channels. Continually diluting their brand awareness and potentially losing market share to new entrants.
