A journey with
Kraft Heinz & Integration
Kraft Heinz launched a new vision in 2020 seeking “to sustainably grow by delighting more consumers globally”. This was the start of a deep transformation journey together with Integration Consulting which sought to achieve aggressive growth and profitability targets across the globe.
Within this wider context, Kraft Heinz’ dedicated International Go-to-market (GTM) Team needed to apply a sustainable and repeatable go-to-market model that could be adopted in its highly specific market contexts around the globe, while adhering to a set of boundaries. First, profitability needed to grow faster than revenue, allowing gains to be reinvested and fuel healthy, lucrative expansion.
At the same time, it would have to find a way to stimulate growth in both retail and food service across 50 countries outside of North America with an enormous diversity of products and market dynamics. Finally, the model needed to contribute to the transformation of the company – built upon a culture of effective collaboration across staff and partners.

Integration Consulting at the 2023 MCA Awards
Integration Consulting took part in the ceremony for the 2023 Management Consultancies Association (MCA) Awards in London on October 9.
The selected entry in the category of Commercial Impact involved a model for international growth that Integration created in partnership with The Kraft Heinz Company and their various teams across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. This replicable, global go-to-market model that Kraft Heinz has now successfully implemented across over 20 countries with the help of Integration, resulting in 30% stronger growth in these markets.
“We are honored and delighted to be acknowledged by the MCA,” said Integration partner Quentin Girard. “We started this story with The Kraft Heinz Company in 2019 and are very proud of the results we were able to achieve by working alongside them in each unique market. My genuine thanks to Kraft Heinz Company for the opportunity, and for supporting Integration in bringing the impact of our accomplishments together to the MCA.”
The MCA has been supporting the value of consulting among private, public and media entities in the UK for more than 65 years, and its prestigious annual awards have been taking place for more than 25. The aim of the MCA Awards is to “demonstrate the true value of consulting to both the public and private sector and the impact consulting has on our society.”
Integration has won two previous MCA Awards: Best Change Management in the Private Sector in 2017 and the MCA’s top honor of Project of the Year, both in recognition of our work with the Department of International Trade in 2017 that supported Latin American business investment in the UK.
