    Brief

    Bord Bia is seeking a research partner agency to develop a comprehensive category strategy for Poitín (traditional Irish spirit) across key markets. The project will focus primarily on the US market while establishing domestic market validation through proof-of-concept sales data in Ireland. Research will analyze market trends, consumer preferences, competitive landscape, and growth opportunities for Poitín producers. If budget permits, the research scope will be expanded to include the UK market. The successful contractor will provide strategic insights to support Poitín makers in market entry and expansion, with particular emphasis on US market positioning. This engagement requires experience in spirits category research, international market analysis, and consumer insights across multiple geographic markets.
