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.
This externship investigated why the same shopper chooses kombucha, cold-pressed juice, or protein smoothies at different times, using primary survey research and competitor benchmarking. The work designed and fielded a consumer survey, compared the category's major brands, and produced a consulting-style case report summarizing methods and findings.
I ran the research and compiled findings into a concise case-style report. Below are the deliverables I produced during the externship.
