CLIENT GOALS

Creative Dock had successfully launched Beyli, a startup offering invisible aligners, in Germany. The next step was to identify the best European market for expansion. This required extensive market research to gather insights into new target audiences and inform a strategic product launch. My role involved conducting in-depth market research, testing campaigns across selected markets, and developing strong campaign assets to support the expansion strategy.

THE PROCESS

I approached the Beyli project with a clear goal: to identify opportunities and challenges for market expansion across Europe while providing actionable insights for the product’s strategic launch. My work combined in-depth research, hands-on testing, and campaign development to ensure the product’s success. Here are the key activities I focused on:

  • Competitor and market analysis: Conducted thorough research on competitors and assessed market trends through methods like mystery shopping, providing a detailed understanding of the competitive landscape and emerging opportunities.

 

  • Interviews and customer insights: Carried out detailed interviews with nine industry professionals and 100+ potential customers to understand their needs, preferences, and expectations, helping shape the product’s positioning.

 

  • Campaign testing and performance analysis: Participated in microsite testing and evaluated ad campaigns across different markets. By analyzing leads and customer engagement data, I identified promising channels for reaching target audiences.

 

  • Legal and tax evaluations: Examined the regulatory and tax implications of entering various European markets to identify potential barriers and ensure compliance.

 

  • Collaborative reporting and actionable insights: Worked closely with stakeholders to present findings in a clear, concise manner, breaking down complex data into actionable recommendations that guided decision-making.

 

  • Development of campaign assets: Contributed to creating high-quality assets, including advertisements, brochures, and website content.
