ConAgra Foods, Inc., (NYSE: CAG) one of North America’s leading
food makers was awarded Gold, the top honor, from the Advertising
Research Foundation David Ogilvy Awards for Excellence in
Advertising Research last night in New York for its Shopper Seasons
research and activation. The research won in the Shopper Marketing
category.
ConAgra Foods’ Shopper Seasons focuses on six seasons that
consumers identified as having unique emotional and practical needs
for their families. Stemming from research that showed 68 percent
of moms feel that marketers don’t understand their needs, ConAgra
Foods held one-on-one interviews and focus groups with a range of
moms who encapsulate the brands’ core consumers. Six seasons were
identified throughout the process – Post-Holiday, Spring, Summer,
Back to School, October Fling and Holiday.
“We found that the same six seasons exist for moms across the
country, but the emotions, needs and desires may vary,” said Danica
Konetski, senior director of Shopper Insights for ConAgra Foods.
“For example, Back To School season may be a relief for preschool
moms and more stressful for elementary moms – by uncovering the
emotional connections, we can find those ways in which brands like
Orville Redenbacher’s or Hunt’s Snack Pack are most relevant to
each mom.”
Using the research and insights, ConAgra Foods focused on the
six seasons to build unique campaigns for its retail
partners—grocery stores and other food outlets. Shopper Marketing
programs focused on the Shopper Seasons have shown an average
return-on-investment that is 30 percent higher than other ConAgra
Foods Shopper Marketing programs.
“We’ve seen results in numbers, but we’ve also seen less
quantifiable results from Shopper Seasons, including relationship
building with our retail customers,” Konetski said. “Seasons has
allowed us a seat at the table for more strategic, collaborative
planning and opened up deeper sharing of insights and
strategies.”
