Advertising Message Territory Prioritisation for Packaged Foods (India)
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India packaged foods brand needed to compare how young families , working singles , and health-focused shoppers interpreted competing campaign propositions, including memorability, personal relevance, credibility, and intended category consideration across markets.
WHAT WE DID
We ran an online monadic survey with 1,200 category buyers, rotating four creative territories and capturing message takeout , brand linkage , emotional resonance, distinctiveness, purchase relevance, and response differences by life stage and city tier.
DELIVERED
The engagement produced a message territory hierarchy , segment preference map , proposition-level friction list, and channel-specific communication cues, enabling the client team to distinguish broad appeal from segment resonance without attributing commercial outcomes.
