42 competing juice brands. Cappy (juice brand) was losing on taste, price, and shelf presence — with both volume and operating income in decline, despite the category growing at 25% CAGR.

The Approach

Led a full re-engineering program anchored on three bets: (1) focused portfolio on 4 core flavors (60% of volume) and reformulated for superior taste at a lower price; (2) transitioned to in-house hot-fill production with full-sleeve PET transforming shelf presence; (3) relaunched with a full integrated IMC campaign to rebuild brand awareness and trial.
