Project Overview
Japanese premium audio brand needed Best Buy US placement at the Magnolia premium tier rather than the mass-CE set, with Geek Squad in-home demo integration for the flagship wireless speaker SKUs and Best Buy Totaltech membership-exclusive offer mechanics to convert the high-value subscription cohort. UL listing across 7 product variants and FCC certification for the wireless protocol stack sat on the critical path, and the launch had to coordinate against the Sonos and Bose entrenched competitive set in wireless audio, where category leadership is defined by Magnolia placement rather than core-Best-Buy assortment.
Execution
MOART navigated UL listing for the full 7-SKU lineup and FCC certification for the wireless protocol stack with the brand's Japanese manufacturing partner, negotiated Magnolia premium-tier placement at the highest-traffic 280 Best Buy stores, designed Best Buy Totaltech membership-exclusive offer mechanics with the Best Buy CRM team, integrated Geek Squad in-home demo for the flagship wireless speaker, and coordinated launch-window competitive positioning materials against the Sonos and Bose Magnolia adjacency.
Project Results
7 UL- and FCC-certified SKUs live across 960 Best Buy stores with Magnolia premium placement at 280 high-traffic doors within 11 months, with Best Buy Totaltech member sell-through delivering the flagship wireless speaker SKU to top-10 in the wireless audio category in the launch season.
