Research and Discovery

Our strategy was grounded in layered research and plenty of coffee. 


We conducted a 36-page situation analysis packed with secondary research, gathered insights from 242 Qualtrics survey respondents, analyzed five key competitors, visited five retail locations, and held four in-depth consumer interviews.

Situation Analysis Key Findings

Before building the campaign, our team conducted a full Situation Analysis to understand Chock full o’Nuts from every angle. We explored the brand’s history, market performance, competitive set, collaborators, SWOT analyses, and the broader cultural and economic landscape influencing the coffee industry.

Through this process, we identified:

  • Heritage meets modern relevance: Chock full o’Nuts is a legacy New York brand with deep loyalty among Baby Boomers, 61% of current drinkers are over 55, but has limited recognition beyond the Northeast.
     
  • Changing coffee culture: Younger consumers prioritize convenience, sustainability, and authenticity. Many begin drinking coffee as early as age 15 and prefer cold brew, ready-to-drink, and single-serve formats.
     
  • A growing, competitive market: With the U.S. coffee industry valued at $132.1 billion and rising, Chock full o’Nuts faces pressure from national brands and trendy chains alike.
     
  • A sustainability edge: With 83% of U.S. consumers drinking coffee at home, the brand’s recyclable steel cans offer a distinct advantage over competitors still relying on plastic.
     
  • A bold, ownable identity: In a market full of similiarty, Chock full o’Nuts stands out with bold flavor and a no-nonsense New York attitude that resonates with authenticity-driven consumers.

Our campaign leaned into these strengths, reviving the brand’s personality, refreshing its presence, and reconnecting it with a new generation of everyday heroes.
