Tata
Tea is set to overhaul its brand management strategy,
as part of the operational integration with Tetley.
Two
years after Tata Tea decided to give the largest
leverage buyout of its time, the Tetley acquisition,
a shape by integrating the two companies operationally,
the company was now readying to implement the
result of the rigorous studies undertaken during
the period.
Percy
Siganporia, deputy managing director of Tata Tea
told Business Standard, that Tata
Tea will the integrate next fiscal.
The
company would inculcate the Tetley brand management
process, which implied a dramatic change in brand
proposition, agency brief and product formulation.
There
would be changes on multiple fronts—benchmark
process, cutomisation and customer interaction.
"All
these would be unified under the composite operation",
Siganporia said. Product formulation, for instance,
would be more consumer insight driven.
