DESCRIPTION
A short presentation used to accompany a case for a marketing class at Miami University. The case presented our small team with the challenge of guiding A1, a premier steak sauce brand, through the difficult challenges of an evolving consumer interaction with the product, increased competition, and flat sales growth. Our presentation of the situation, and a preview of our efforts to combat such challenges are included.
