“OPUS has given us a level of On Premise understanding that we didn’t think would be possible. We now know exactly what motivates consumers and drives purchase behavior, instead of relying on assumptions as we did before. The team have been very proactive in making sure we get the most of the platform and that we are always up-to-date with the latest insights and trends.”
“CGA by NIQ have supported us throughout our partnership, using Outlet Index they’ve helped our venue segmentation targeting and allowed us to identify opportunities for premium mixers in the Australian On Premise. They’ve continually provided us with valuable On Premise insights using their best-in-class products and services. Not only do they deliver exceptional outputs, their consultative and proactive approach has aided Fever-Tree in excelling within the Australian On Premise.”
