SUMMARY
In the Middle East, amidst a challenging economic environment, the cheese category has declined. The Middle East has also faced a challenging societal environment where women’s equality has been trending. But, when it comes to kitchens in Saudi Arabia, it’s not that equal.
This case shows how in a challenging category and environment, Puck challenged stereotypes in Arab homes and kitchens, becoming the first time in and across the Middle East, to propagate meal-preparation to be a shared responsibility.
And after a period of decline, Puck grew, while competitors declined.
