Case Study: Bosch - Extending the Premium Brand's Product Breadth
Background
Bosch, a brand synonymous with quality and innovation, has always been a leader in the premium dishwasher market. Known for producing the world's quietest dishwasher, Bosch had successfully captured the hearts of consumers. However, a significant portion of the Canadian market remained unaware of Bosch's comprehensive range of kitchen appliances.
Objective
With the introduction of a new suite of appliances, Bosch aimed to shift perception and position itself not just as a dishwasher brand, but as the go-to brand for a complete dream kitchen.

The uniformity in appliance branding across the kitchen not only ensures consistent quality, but also elevates the aesthetic appeal. This insight led to the realization that consumers seek sophistication and uniformity in their kitchen spaces.
