They help you understand your customers (and
prospective customers) better, and make it easier
for you to tailor content to the specific needs,
behaviours, and concerns of different groups.

Project 1
We aim to revolutionise the work dining experience, by enabling employers to benefit
their employees through partial meal sponsorship. We target London-based companies in
IT and financial sectors that want to offer additional benefits to their employees.
Employees will be issued with a (contactless) payment card which they can use to pay for
their meals. Meal costs will be covered by the employer as a benefit, by the employee
through salary sacrifice or via regular top-up. This unexpected benefit to employees will
increase employer attractiveness, improve motivation, productively and will lead to
various cost savings.
“Strategy without tactics is the slowest
route to victory. Tactics without strategy
is the noise before defeat.”
Sun Tzu
Your brand is your reputation – the perception of you held by
the external world. It is the combination of personal
attributes, values, drivers, strengths, and passions you draw
from that differentiates your unique promise of value from
your peers, and helps those assessing you to determine if
they should hire you or do business with you.

Project(s) 2
i) The business idea is to establish a premium speciality coffee roastery/shop chain that sources premium coffee
from a single plantation around the world, roast it to perfection and deliver a freshly brewed cup to coffee
enthusiasts. Our customers will come for the experience, to socialize, to interact with baristas, learn about coffee
and trace their favorite coffee’s origin. We aim to be part of the cultural and artistic scene in the cities we operate
in, creating a hip and friendly urban atmosphere and elevating the taste and passion for coffee.
ii) Curating exceptional wines from relatively unknown suppliers, in the process helping quality producers manage
ebbs and flows in production and cash flow. We package this top quality product into our own branded lightweight,
portable and unbreakable, 1.5lt boxes. Box wine our customers can enjoy anywhere —without having to worry
about a corkscrew or broken glass. It’s eco-friendly, requiring less energy and cost to produce, store and transport
than bottled wine. An understated brand promoted solely through influencers that allows our confident, informed
customers to enjoy exceptional wine, at a significantly lower price, that stays fresh for at least four weeks after
opening.
