"Garmoniya" rebranding
"Harmoniya" is a brand under the "Lubensky Dairy Plant," a dairy product manufacturer located in Ukraine's Poltava region. Established in 1937, LDP is one of Ukraine's longest-standing food enterprises. While the company has established a strong local presence, its sales in the national market were lacking. The existing business model did not allow for production cost reductions like those achieved by mass-market or premium competitors with larger volumes, price flexibility, and access to their own raw materials. Moreover, "Harmoniya" lacked recognition beyond the Poltava area, and consumers did not have a clear understanding of the brand’s identity, values, or competitive advantages. To address declining sales and achieve success in the national market, the brand required a comprehensive marketing overhaul that encompassed all business processes, including a new strategy, repositioning, and strengthening the marketing-sales connection. We recognized that diligent and systematic work on every key component of the marketing mix was essential. The challenges of managing a large dairy brand, with its diverse product lines and varied target audiences, alongside significant price sensitivity and rational purchase decisions, necessitated thorough research and analysis. What we accomplished:
- Conducted a business audit and market analysis
- Developed an assortment and product strategy
- Enhanced branding
RESULTS The revamped brand launched in late April 2021. By early June, significant changes were observed: 1. Buyers from chains, distributors, and retailers had updated perceptions of the brand. 2. The refreshed "Harmoniya" was introduced in national chains such as "Varus," "Novus," and "Klass" (Kharkiv), a feat not achieved by the previous branding. 3. Retail turnover surged by 15 to 30% across different product categories.
