FrieslandCampina Case Study

FrieslandCampina, one of the world’s largest dairy co-operatives, needed forward-thinking insight to support category expansion and product innovation in the UK.

With Vypr, they were able to validate consumer demand, challenge assumptions, and confidently present new concepts to retailers faster and with greater credibility.

“We don’t have to keep assuming things now because we can test via Vypr quickly. It’s really cost effective – we can get an answer that’s based in real numbers, from hundreds of people, within minutes.”

  • Specific to current consumer preferences
