The proposed perceptual map places the product in the high-quality\/high-sustainability quadrant, appealing to health-conscious millennials who prioritise ethical consumption. This positioning aligns with consumer trends toward environmentally responsible brands. Research indicates that 78% of Australian consumers aged 18\u201334 are willing to pay more for sustainable products (Roy Morgan, 2024). The tagline \u201cFuel Better, Live Better\u201d reinforces functional benefits while emphasising environmental values. Consistent messaging across digital and retail channels will build brand associations with authenticity and performance (Keller, 2022). This strategy leverages the growing demand for ethical innovation in the snack category.<\/p>\n<h3>Suggested References (Harvard style)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Kotler, P., Burton, S., Deans, K., Brown, L. and Armstrong, G.
