White Claw
What they wanted
Mark Anthony Brands is the 4th largest beer company in the United States and the global category leader in Ready-to-Drink with brands like White Claw Hard Seltzer, Mike's Hard Lemonade and Cayman Jack. To capture opportunities of the digitizing consumers and ready-to-drink products, they asked us to help in developing a digital strategy and implement a global Direct-to-Consumer business model. We focused specifically on getting Consumer care in place as it plays a pivotal role in a direct-to-consumer business model.
What we did
First, we did a thorough as-is analysis amongst the main drivers of Customer Services: CS processes, KPIs, Touchpoints & Channels, Engagement and Strategy. Together with the management team we created a new and common strategy globally to be ready for future growth and expansion to new regions. We mapped and improved CS business processes. We launched strategic pilots across the globe to jump-start implementation of the strategy and improved processes. For these, we designed, onboarded and coached local and cross functional teams to quickly and flexibly demonstrate the new business value based on customer feedback, while defining requirements for scaling the organization, tech and data.
Second, we built new data and analytics tools and created new dashboards to be able to have fact-based visibility on performance. Technology was merged across different regions to pave the way for standardization and scaling.
Finally, we defined the scale-up plan, and determined the required funding, team set up and time investment. We also hired the team on the ground for MABI to run the show themselves.
What we achieved
The clear vision & plan created the required focus for MABI to be able to support the Direct-to-Consumer business model implementation. Combined with the execution focused project setup, the organization was enabled to realize a quick roll-out of the first initiatives towards their digital ambition. By implementing all strategic pillars, we were able to accelerate the collaboration between the different geographies. Moreover, all KPIs were transformed into green numbers, which was evidence of successful implementation of all initiatives and led to higher customer satisfaction and more efficient processes and usage of technology.
