How Does Honeycombsm
Link To Innovation?
Innovation-2 will source its volume from other brands of Casual. Would require
separate positioning from the current brand of Casual
. Moderate volume/
profit potential, moderate critical, introductory spending requirements
Innovation-3 will source its volume from Varieties of the parent brand; highly
cannibalistic. If it’s “effectiveness” is above compared to the current Varieties of
Brand- B, it would source incremental volume from other brands of Casual. Would not
require separate positioning from the current brand of Casual, and very little
incremental spending (reallocate from current)
Innovation-1 “partitions” the market. Will have the
highest volume/ profit potential.. Broadest sphere of
influence (the entire market).. Least cannibalistic

Require most critical introductory spending and
separate positioning

Segmentation is THE PROCESS OF DIVIDING PEOPLE INTO GROUPS (segments) so that
People within the same group are alike
in ways that matter to the
client’s business and react differently to different marketing stimuli

‱ Share maximization in high franchise area to
maintain competitive leverage with trade
‱ Profit maximization in medium franchise, since
no competitive threat
‱ Attain share objective in the low franchise
area to avoid erosion due
to distribution loss
‱ Are we allocated optimally by season?
Leveraging for contra-seasonal spending
‱ Profit maximization in a declining market
‱ Share maximization in growth market; to
leverage trade
‱ Should we increase the budget, to increase share
and to participate in the category growth?
‱ Are we allocating the right amount for each
brand? Should we decrease the spending on one
brand and reallocate to other brands?
‱ Are we allocating the right amount for advertising
versus promotion on each brand?
‱ Are we allocating the right amount by franchise
areas (high, medium, low)? Can we significantly
increase share in the medium franchise area with a
small increase in spending/ Should we reallocate
from high franchise to medium franchise?
‱ If competitor increases advertising or
promotion, how do we react? What impact
does it have on our portfolio? How much
should we counter spend?
‱ If a competitor launches a new product, what
effect does it have on our revenue/ volume
potential?

Discovering White Space
Helped to revitalize Revlon based on the “brand
personality” study to reposition the brand with a
really edgy “Revolutionary Campaign”.
“Natural Look” was delineated as an emerging
need state. Conjoint analyses showed leverage for
“Low ammonia/ Low peroxide”. Two elements
combined to create Natural Instinct.
Management wanted to explore an introduction of Old-fashioned
lemonade in the powdered mix form. Survey Research argued
vehemently against this idea, “PSDM is for the kids, and a whole
family product cannot be introduced successfully in PSDM. We
explained, based on the Purchase Structure (Brand-structured
market, with Mixed Mode on form), “Such a constraint does not
exist
the reason why PSDM seems like kids market is because the
current brands (KA, FF) are positioned to kids.” CEO Jim Kilts
introduced Country Time, a highly successful Lemonade brand in
the PSDM.
Discovering White Space
Based on Portfolio Management Structure, Summitry
recommended Mercury brand should be dropped
due to its overlap with Ford and Lincoln brands – did
not have clear reason-for-being. This was lack of
“White Space”.
Developed beverage structures and simulations in
more than 15 countries to help KFI maximize leverage
in the beverage market. BCG had concluded that Tang
is a “Cash Cow” brand and should be milked for profit.
We changed the entire perspective, and helped the
global roll out.. Resulting in $1 billion brand.
The Penn Mutual product portfolio of Life Insurance, Annuity and Retirement was targeted to less desirable/ profitable targets
(“Unassuming blue collar female”, “Careful senior citizen”, “Safety seeking mainstream”) and only one profitable target (“Single
source educated couple”). Summitry designed strategies to focus to “Single source educated couple” target with increased
marketing force and expand to profitable and vulnerable target (“Unsophisticated responsible parents”) with current products/
capabilities. In second phase, appeal to “Single source female yuppie” with new channel (e.g., bank). The most desirable target
(“Sophisticated Investor”) would require new capabilities and product offerings.

  • 40. Discovering White Space Helped to revitalize Revlon based on the “brand personality” study to reposition the brand with a really edgy “Revolutionary Campaign”. “Natural Look” was delineated as an emerging need state. Conjoint analyses showed leverage for “Low ammonia/ Low peroxide”. Two elements combined to create Natural Instinct. Management wanted to explore an introduction of Old-fashioned lemonade in the powdered mix form. Survey Research argued vehemently against this idea, “PSDM is for the kids, and a whole family product cannot be introduced successfully in PSDM. We explained, based on the Purchase Structure (Brand-structured market, with Mixed Mode on form), “Such a constraint does not exist
the reason why PSDM seems like kids market is because the current brands (KA, FF) are positioned to kids.” CEO Jim Kilts introduced Country Time, a highly successful Lemonade brand in the PSDM.
  • 41. Discovering White Space Based on Portfolio Management Structure, Summitry recommended Mercury brand should be dropped due to its overlap with Ford and Lincoln brands – did not have clear reason-for-being. This was lack of “White Space”. Developed beverage structures and simulations in more than 15 countries to help KFI maximize leverage in the beverage market. BCG had concluded that Tang is a “Cash Cow” brand and should be milked for profit. We changed the entire perspective, and helped the global roll out.. Resulting in $1 billion brand. The Penn Mutual product portfolio of Life Insurance, Annuity and Retirement was targeted to less desirable/ profitable targets (“Unassuming blue collar female”, “Careful senior citizen”, “Safety seeking mainstream”) and only one profitable target (“Single source educated couple”). Summitry designed strategies to focus to “Single source educated couple” target with increased marketing force and expand to profitable and vulnerable target (“Unsophisticated responsible parents”) with current products/ capabilities. In second phase, appeal to “Single source female yuppie” with new channel (e.g., bank). The most desirable target (“Sophisticated Investor”) would require new capabilities and product offerings.
