Client stories
Global food manufacturer
We helped a large, global food manufacturer create a comprehensive data strategy.
This work also created and aligned the business around a comprehensive set of prioritised use cases for data and analytics, to inform a detailed business case for implementation of the strategy. Over a three month period, we engaged a Business Working Group of over 30 people representing all areas of the business in a comprehensive strategy development process. Each executive team member (i.e. CEO and all direct reports) were also engaged directly on a one-to-one basis, both to gather their inputs and also to review and socialise the strategy outcomes with them. As a result of this engagement approach, the strategy gained real ownership, buy-in and momentum within the organisation. It received positive feedback from all senior stakeholders, and was subsequently approved for implementation by the full executive leadership team.
Berkeley provided structure and expertise to drive the project to a high quality outcome. We worked very well together, with our internal experience very much complementing the rigor, structure, and knowledge that Berkeley brought.”

Retail business
We led both the business and IT delivery components of a major programme to build a leading-edge customer insight and marketing capability on behalf of this retailer's CMO. This was focused on establishing a set of advanced core competencies that included; customer data analytics / science, CRM, personalisation, and digital communication tooling.
High-street retailer
We led the transformation to deliver new e-commerce platform with a new mobile site. This involved integrating back-end order management systems and warehouse and logistics providers through the supply chain, as well as enabling mobile apps and in-store kiosks. This delivered a step-change in time for the all-important Christmas period in retail.
Large FMCG
Previous business information and analytics were fragmented across different functions and geographies. This programme looked to use richer data including ePOS, supply chain and loyalty card to provide better insight into customer resulting in stronger relationships and 11% growth in sales. We provided an interim Programme Director and several other key management roles for this large FMCG producer.
Global FMCG
We delivered an in house, one-stop-shop for social listening and consumer analytics insights enabling FMCG brands to better understand and engage with consumers, develop strategies, conduct market research and plan marketing to drive growth and performance globally. An early proof of concept was stood up in a matter of weeks and enabled consumer behaviour to be analysed differently to yield results in changed marketing campaigns.
Global cloud solution
We led the overall programme as well as business case and supplier selection streams to deliver a cloud solution for all internet and intranet content with 200+ sites spanning 100 countries, in 29 languages and five major brands.
Benefits of the transformation to create a new ‘digitally native’ internal web agency included: improved site resilience and flexibility, improved digital security, annual OPEX savings and a significantly reduced lead time over traditional methods of hardware procurement, rack and stack, deployment and testing.
