The Challenge
Over the course of three decades, the Mariani Nut Company has produced quality walnuts within the California region. The company has grown to be one of the largest, privately-held, walnut and almond processors in the world.
In 2018, they introduced a line of refrigerated walnut milk products in the plant-based milk category. Mariani Nut needed to promote product awareness in key markets and collect valuable consumer insights about flavor preferences.
The Experience
The Mariani Nut Company used Dabbl's mobile engagement platform to educate users about nutritional benefits and flavors through a series of trivia, multiple choice, this or that rich imagery comparison and video activities.
Because brand awareness was a large component of success for this program, Dabbl also conducted a brand lift study which highlighted five main areas to those who engaged with the experience vs. those Dabbl users who did not engage.
