LDP is one of the oldest food enterprises in Ukraine, it has been operating since 1937.

The company gained a strong position in the region, but sales in the national market left much to be desired. The existing business model of the company did not allow to reduce the cost of production, as the mass market or premium manufacturers could do due to large production volumes, price elasticity, and its own raw materials.

In addition, "Harmony" was not known outside the Poltava region. The wide audience did not have a formed holistic image of the brand, an understanding of its values and competitive advantages.

In order to stop the decline in sales and successfully develop in the national market, the brand needed a set of marketing changes affecting all business processes: a new strategy, positioning, strengthening the marketing-sales link.
Eliminate the barriers of perception that hinder brand growth. Differentiate from other mainstream brands by repositioning. Stop the drop in sales in the home region and increase the share at the all-Ukrainian level.
Challenges: sales growth, and increase the share at the all-Ukrainian level.
Starting cooperation, we understood that painstaking and systematic work on all the key elements of the marketing mix is required here. Creativity and communication won't help.

After all, a large dairy brand means many product groups, a vague target audience, high price elasticity and a large share of rationality in making a purchase decision. All this required detailed study and analysis.
In-depth interviews with the owners and top managers of the company to clarify goals, vision of the current situation and future opportunities.

Conducting focus groups with brand consumers to find out the current perception of the brand.

2. The renewed "Harmoniya" appeared in the national chains "Varus", "Novus" and "Klass" (Kharkiv), which was not possible for the old brand.
