PROGRAM

The Laugh Tracker

The state of Tennessee was missing out on the lucrative family travel market that was dominated by well-known, heavily advertised beach destinations and Walt Disney attractions. Instead of trying to show kids would have fun in Tennessee, we proved it. We invented a wearable device that could scientifically measure fun and put it on hundreds of kids at attractions all across the state. Our findings were published on websites parents visited when planning their vacations. The proof paid off, driving an increase in tourism across the state.

Yeh Dunya Bari Hai

The packaged cakes market is dominated by large players like Hilal and EBM in Pakistan. Being a new player, entering the market as the challenger to these giants, Good Goodies decided its success would be through strategy, not brute force. Using novelty in product, communication, and channel strategies, the brand effectively expanded the pie instead of sharing the existing one with the players fighting over market share. Within 10-months of launch, Good Goodies sold 15% of Hilal’s sales volume and captured over 11.57% of the market share.
