Increasing Market Share
The Approach
We delved into every aspect of cat ownership and what it means to them; from the reason they decided to embrace a relationship with a cat, the nature of that relationship andall the different rituals and routines they’ve created that form the foundation of their shared daily lives.
We explored diet and nutrition to uncover the impact of the growing Natural trend on their beliefs, attitudes and behaviours around nutrition, quality, and the role taste plays and how it influences decision making. Finally we took a deeper look into key influences and influencers in their cat ownership journey; what they look for in brands and the specific food for their cats, who and where they go to for advice, and their sources of inspiration.
