You are the new brand manager at Brillante, a Spanish home-care company. Your CEO just handed you Lumina, a brand-new dishwasher tablet — and €15 million for a national launch. You have one decision to make first: who is this for?
The situation
The Spanish dishwasher-tablet category is €600M, growing 3% / year. Two players dominate: Finish (Reckitt) and Fairy (P&G). White-label private brands take ~20%. Your Lumina formulation is genuinely good — independent panel scoring shows it cleans as well as Finish All-in-One — but you can't claim that legally yet.
The CEO's only direction: "Pick one segment, win it, then expand." Your three options are: family / value, eco-conscious urbanites, and premium / performance. Each has different size, growth, competitive intensity, and margin.
