Challenge
Baxters is a well-loved heritage food brand, trusted for generations but increasingly perceived as old-fashioned. Although new flavours and products had been introduced, the brand struggled to engage with a younger, millennial audience. At the same time, Baxters lacked a direct-to-consumer channel, limiting its ability to reposition itself as a premium, innovative food brand and to capture higher-margin digital opportunities revenue.
