Challenge

Understanding and engaging Thailand’s coffee consumers
A leading coffee brand in Thailand sought to deepen its understanding of diverse consumer segments to refine product offerings and enhance brand alignment. The goal was to identify actionable insights that resonate with key groups of coffee drinkers characterized by distinct motivations and preferences.

Approach

AI-driven cluster analysis of coffee consumers
Using proprietary AI tools, over 4,000 social posts and 250,000 total searches were analyzed to decode consumer behavior and preferences across coffee categories, including instant, ready-to-drink (RTD), and fresh-brewed coffee. This approach integrated demographic profiling, category skews, and value alignment to identify triggers and barriers for switching brands.

Impact

Crafting consumer-centric strategies for growth
These insights equipped the brand to tailor its offerings and messaging to each group’s specific needs. By emphasizing expertise, quality, and functional benefits, the brand is poised to strengthen its appeal and capture growth opportunities in Thailand’s competitive coffee market.
