KC Peaches Catering

KC Peaches is one of Dublin’s best-known food brands, built on a mission to serve honest, wholesome food made fresh daily. With multiple locations across the city, a central production facility, and a reputation for quality and consistency, the brand has long been trusted by both retail customers and corporate clients. In recent years, KC Peaches identified its catering division as the next major growth lever, particularly in the B2B market. With the infrastructure and product already in place, the challenge was not what to serve. The challenge was how to scale sustainably and build a commercial engine around it.

The Challenge

The Challenge

The Challenge

Despite strong brand recognition and operational readiness, the team at KC Peaches faced several strategic and commercial challenges in unlocking the full potential of their catering division.

  • Unstructured acquisition model: Catering growth had been largely reactive, with limited outbound structure or funnel visibility. There was no consistent lead generation or attribution system in place.

  • Unclear prioritisation of marketing efforts: With internal marketing roles no longer in place, the business needed to rethink how to allocate budget, distinguish high-leverage activity from low-skilled tasks, and avoid overspending on logistics-heavy investments.

  • Brand assets not built for scale: While KC Peaches had a strong identity, its sales materials, website, and messaging were not fully aligned with the catering buyer journey. This was especially true for SME and corporate buyers who were seeking consistency and reliability.

  • Strong operations, but underutilised: Having a central Dublin location and a culturally diverse team gave KC Peaches the physical and product capability to grow. However, the commercial layer had not yet caught up.

The Strategy

The Strategy

The Strategy

We began by guiding KC Peaches through a multi-workshop strategic process. This aligned leadership around a core commercial model for B2B catering growth. Together, we worked to:

  • Define SME and corporate buyer personas, economics, and lifetime value

  • Map a 12-month growth roadmap tied to revenue, marketing, and logistics triggers

  • Introduce the 7Ls framework to clarify internal versus outsourced activities

  • Create a Leverage, Load, and Logistics prioritisation model to support budget decisions

This strategic phase gave the team a clear structure for deciding where to focus time, people, and capital in a more disciplined way.

The Build

The Build

Once the strategic foundations were in place, we began building the systems and assets required to launch with confidence.

  • Brand Messaging
    We completed foundational brand messaging work to clarify KC Peaches’ positioning and how they communicate their value to B2B catering buyers.

  • Analytics and Attribution
    We built a central dashboard model to help track performance by client type. This included CAC, LTV, lead source, and payback period.

  • Offer Structuring
    We developed a structure for milestone-tied logistics investments. This helped the team connect major spend decisions to real-world traction and momentum.

Together, these elements created the foundation of a scalable acquisition engine with the data and messaging to support it.

The Growth

The Growth

Once the systems were mapped out, we transitioned into rollout planning and internal enablement. This set the stage for long-term partnership delivery.

  • Growth Blueprint Delivery
    We presented the complete roadmap, prioritisation model, and marketing-commercial structure to the full KC Peaches leadership team.

  • Retainer Planning
    We proposed a 12-month strategic partnership, structured around consulting, paid media, creative development, and marketing operations.

This final phase ensured that the strategy would not sit still. Instead, it would become operational within a matter of weeks.
