Case Study: Life Measurement (Acquired by Cosmed) – Comprehensive Branding and Marketing Strategy for PEA POD and BOD POD
Background:
Life Measurement, a recognized leader in body composition analysis, has already gained significant recognition with its flagship product, the BOD POD. The BOD POD, a body composition measurement system for adults, has been a key player in the fitness, medical, and research industries. Building on this success, Life Measurement introduced a groundbreaking new product, the PEA POD, designed to measure body composition for infants.
