Challenge
The dairy aisle was lacking in innovation, and milk consumption occasions were on the decline. Kids and teens were inundated with product options, and needed a reason to believe in milk again. DFA and a retailer partner were looking for a product to act as the innovation anchor in a restructuring of the dairy case.
Action Taken
DuPuis partnered with DFA to develop the top youth concept coming from previous DuPuis milk collaboration with Dairy Management Inc.: siips canned milk. We developed naming and positioning options, including youth-friendly consumer concepts. We then deployed BondFire consumer research to assess the top-performing positioning and names with kids and teens. After developing packaging with youth appeal, we conducted BondFires to assess the total product offering (including packaging, naming and product taste).
Results
siips was launched in September 2020 in a regional pilot test, prior to a planned national rollout.
