Maximize your ROI with Opportunity & Risk Navigation

Unlocking growth in the low-and-no alcohol space

How we helped a luxury alcohol brand evaluate and enter one of the fastest-growing categories in premium drinks

A global luxury alcohol brand wanted to understand whether a new generation of consumers was ready for a high-end low and no alcohol offering. They had observed cultural and behavioral shifts toward moderation and mindful drinking and wanted to know if this represented a credible commercial opportunity worth pursuing. The challenge was to identify viable audiences, map the drivers of low and no alcohol consumption, and size the opportunity across key markets. We applied our Opportunity and Risk Navigation methodology to bring clarity, evidence, and commercial rigor to a rapidly emerging category.

Our Approach

The Outcome

The work enabled the luxury alcohol brand to:

Enter the low and no alcohol category early and credibly
Build a targeted activation and partnership strategy
Align senior teams around a clear and validated commercial opportunity
Understand the motivations of mindful drinkers and how to serve them
Create a category presence that matched the expectations of high-end consumers

The brand went on to form a high-profile partnership and launch a new series of low alcohol serves designed for upscale social settings. The category has since become a multi-billion-dollar global market, validating the strategic decision to move early.
