The story

Chuckling Goat, New Year 2024

The aim
Chuckling Goat wanted to launch its new microbiome test and position itself as an expert in gut health.
The message
86% of British adults had a gastrointestinal episode last year, and Chuckling Goat's microbiome test, developed with the University of Cambridge, offers an evidence-based route to better gut health.
The angle
Gastrointestinal issues affect 86% of British adults, and a Cardiff University study suggests a daily synbiotic drink can improve emotional wellbeing within six weeks. Chuckling Goat and the University of Cambridge have developed what it describes as the most effective microbiome test to date.
