Excessive alcohol consumption is a common practice in licensed premises (Fortin, Belanger, & Moulin, 2015) and is a global problem (Graham et al., 2011). Excessive alcohol consumption poses threats to both individuals and society (Laslett et al., 2010; WHO, 2011a). Different approaches have been taken to minimise harm caused by alcohol, for example law enforcement (Wechsler, Lee, Nelson, & Lee, 2003), education (Clark, Ringwalt, Shamblen, & Hanley, 2011), and social marketing (Kubacki, Rundle-Thiele, Pang, & Buyucek, 2015).

Social marketing is a behaviour change approach, and the use of social marketing benchmarks has been suggested as one means to highlight the essential characteristics of social marketing (Andreasen, 2002). One of the benchmarks is consumer orientation, which requires deep understanding of the target audience, and typically occurs through formative research (Kubacki & Rundle-Thiele, 2017). While mixed methods are recommended to obtain deep insights, application of mixed method research designs in the formative research phase in social marketing remains limited (Truong & Dang, 2017).
