Despite a high-quality product, Kraidlzeig faced a strategic disconnect: the oils were being perceived and positioned as niche, gourmet accessories — “for people who already cook well,” “for special occasions,” “for others.”
The core tension? The product delivered transformation — but the brand was still talking about ingredients.People bought for taste, but they remembered the feeling.That feeling was the white space. To grow, Kraidlzeig needed to move from the shelf of nice-to-have oils into everyday kitchens, hearts, and habits — without losing its soul.
We started with Emotional Mining at scale. Using AI-driven tools and NLP-powered clustering, we analyzed hundreds of unsolicited reviews, voice messages, and testimonials. We weren’t looking for satisfaction metrics — we were searching for emotional fingerprints.
What we uncovered through emotional mining was both consistent and profound. People weren’t simply praising the oils. They were describing how those oils made them feel. One person wrote, “That salad was suddenly the best I’ve ever made.” Another shared, “Guests kept asking what I added.” Someone else said, “I gave it as a gift — now everyone’s hooked.” Beneath these seemingly small moments lay something bigger: a pattern of emotional outcomes that people didn’t always name, but clearly experienced. To understand them more deeply, we applied a Jobs To Be Done framework, mapping not the functional reasons people used Kraidlzeig, but the emotional progress they were trying to make. What emerged were six recurring emotional “jobs” the brand was fulfilling — often without users consciously realizing it. Together, these insights pointed us toward a deeper shift in positioning. Kraidlzeig wasn’t just a product people used.It was a feeling they experienced —one drop later.
Next projects.
