Case Study: Consumer Brand Turnaround

Revamping a food and beverage company

When a premium food and beverage company faced near insolvency after the pandemic, we engineered a creative asset purchase strategy with innovative deal structure. Our revamped marketing approach focused on digital sales channels, immediately reinvigorating the brand and connecting with younger consumers while maintaining product quality. The outcome was striking: year-over-year revenue increased threefold, providing leverage for new strategic partnerships and sustainable growth.

Summary

Consumer products company in the premium food and beverage sector was crippled during the pandemic after a nearly ten-year successful operation.  Compounding the economic impact of the global shut-down was an industry-wide recession.  The Company faced financial pressure and was nearly insolvent. 

Challenge

Strata Venture Partners designed a creative asset purchase strategy with a creative transactional deal structure, which allowed a new entity to launch with existing inventory, customer-base, brand assets, and intellectual property. 


A revamped marketing strategy based on digital sales channels immediately reinvigorated the brand and allowed the new entity to differentiate from a stale and aging industry.  This differentiation has allowed the Company to access a younger generation of consumers and build a longer-term strategy. 

Outcome

Company will have to navigate growing product demand and increase product offerings while maintaining product quality that was a cornerstone of the inherited reputation.  Year over year revenue is up 3x, which has given the brand leverage in establishing new strategic partnerships.
