Challenge
In a crowded and often commodity driven category, Mazola has always aimed at being the premium brand of choice. Finding that unique point of difference that resonates with today’s consumer has meant more than leveraging the brands trusted reputation; it has meant reinventing how consumers perceive oil and its relevance in today’s healthy kitchen.
Solution
Consumers Want the Best
We all demand the best from the brands we trust the most and research showed the same holds true for cooking oil. With 73% of those polled stating that the “healthiness” of an oil is really important to them and 42% saying they would only use the highest quality cooking oil, it was clear that Mazola’s positioning was consistent with consumer values.
Mindshape recognized the opportunity to create an engaging dialogue with consumers that supported their core values and promoted the brands quality attributes. Insights from TV and digital concept testing showed that consumers were interested in simplifying the cooking experience while using healthy ingredients. Providing easy recipes would strengthen brand associations and drive the Mazola brand preference.
