PURINA TENDER VITTLES LITE
Protection from Fat Cats
PROBLEM: Tender Vittles had 40%+ segment share and dominant retail position,
but was faced with a competitive launch by 9-lives.
SOLUTION: Block
the competitive launch by introducing a flanker brand. Initiated, created
and launched Tender Vittle Lite with less fat and
more fiber - capitalized on timeliness of an emerging consumer trend
RESULTS: Took
additional shelf space that prevented 9-Lives from launching, and generated
$20MM+ volume (and additional new product assignments for
the Agency).
