We’re quite proud these days, not least on behalf of our client Carlsberg, as Somersby not only kick started the entire cider category in Denmark in Spring 2008, but was also just awarded Product Launch of the Year 2008 by The Nielsen Company.
And as they say it themselves (Nielsen that is), the award goes to the product launch that has not only been a great success in the market, but also been the driving force for expanding the actual category. Which is really what Somersby has done. Just look at the graph. Just look at it.
Figure 1 illustrates the total cider market in Denmark in blue, while Somersby’s market share is in green, showing how Somersby is driving the total market.
Congratulations to Carlsberg.
We promise to keep up the good work.
