Consumer Behavior & Insights Externship with Health-Ade
The same shopper sees 3 bottles in the grocery store: Health-Ade. Bolthouse Farms. Evolution Fresh. Different days, completely different purchases. All are owned by the same company, and their own purchase data can't explain what actually sends a shopper toward kombucha, cold-pressed juice, or a protein smoothie instead of one of the others. They want you to help figure it out: design and run a real survey, benchmark the category's biggest competitors, and build the kind of consulting-style case real firms use to brief executives. If you want to show future hiring managers you understand how to find out what their customer is ACTUALLY thinking, then these 6 weeks are for you.
Consumer ResearchSurvey DesignCompetitive BenchmarkingAI for Data Analysis
Overview
The externship investigated why the same shopper chooses different chilled beverage brands across visits. The work designed and executed a consumer survey, benchmarked major competitors, and compiled a consulting-style case that compared brand positioning and shopper responses across the category.
What I've accomplished
I carried out a full research cycle: I designed and fielded a survey, analyzed competitor positioning, and packaged findings into a consulting-style brief aimed at explaining cross-brand purchase behavior.
