Gamification to drive product launch placement

Project

Driving Speed Excitement and execution excellence

A leading MNC wanted to drive excitement in the field force and deliver launch KPI’s and speed to market in under a month.

COMPANY CHALLENGES

A leading FMCG foods company was launching a premium-priced brand extension in the mass biscuits category, leveraging strong equity from its high share niche mother brand. While the parent brand was dominant in modern trade and e-commerce, it lacked visibility in mass retail and general trade. The challenge was to rapidly drive placement and distribution across the company’s extensive network, overcome field skepticism about premium pricing, and ensure strong early acceptance in a competitive category.

OUR APPROACH

As Sales Head, I designed and led an integrated gamification-based launch program to build momentum and drive field engagement.

  • Developed a placement and drop-size plan tied to gamified KPIs on reach, call productivity, and distribution speed.
  • Created a real-time leaderboard model within the sales app, where each productive call visually transformed an “undernourished” salesperson avatar into a fitter, muscular version — symbolizing protein power and progress.
  • Daily tracking and recognition built healthy competition, motivation, and excitement across the salesforce.
  • Reinforced the brand proposition of protein and performance to link sales success with product benefits.
  • Simplified KPIs around distribution placement, drop size, and beatlevel activation, ensuring clarity and accountability.
Brand distribution placement achieved in 21 days — a record speed-to market for the company.
80% of the field force exceeded KPI targets, and 120% of the brand plan was achieved within the first month.
Execution success delivered despite 50% of the network operating on fortnightly beats.
The gamification model became a benchmark launch playbook for future new product introductions, proving that performance excitement can accelerate market results.
