The challenge
China’s lighting market is fragmented, with leading players holding under 20% share. Philips wanted to grow and asked us to map the consumer journey.
Our approach
We gathered consumer stories across bulbs, luminaires and connected solutions, working with early adopters and mainstream consumers in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities.
The result
A bottom-up view of the use cases that matter most to Chinese consumers, used to activate Philips’ business plan across touchpoints.
