Case Study
Summary
Honest Eggs Co. is a speciality player in the Australian egg category with less than 1% market share. It uses regenerative farming methods, rather than intensive egg production. With a price point sits around 50% higher than the big ‘free range’ egg brands. The challenge was to drive growth for Honest Eggs Co on a budget of just $30,000. Necessity is often the mother of invention, without a cluckoad of cash it needed a cluckload of originality, thinking beyond paid media messaging to find a way of not just communicating difference, but capturing people’s imaginations. This case study demonstrates an idea that made the chooks’ freedom tangible. FitChix, became the world's first step counter designed for a chook, leading to global fame, delivering a 33% increase in sales and a 222% increase in stockist inquiries.
