Shopper & Consumer Research
UNDERSTANDING THE CONSUMER / SHOPPER
- Shopper behaviour & path-to-purchase studies
- Consumer usage, attitudes & unmet needs
- Social listening & sentiment tracking
- Pack, price & format testing
We uncover how real consumers think, behave, and make purchase decisions. Through in-market surveys, social listening, usage studies, and behavioural analysis, we build a picture of demand that goes beyond data points — it tells you why people do what they do, and what they need next.
In essence: We help you understand if, how, and why your product will work in a market.
Market Assessments & Entry Strategy
UNDERSTANDING WHERE TO PLAY
- Country & category assessments (single or multi-market)
- Channel mapping & outlet auditing
- Competitive landscape analysis
- Entry model evaluation: direct, distributor, or hybrid
We help you assess whether a market is worth entering, and if so, how. We combine macro data with on-the-ground intelligence — store audits, channel mapping, competitive analysis — to give you a fact base, not a guess.
Private Brand Strategy Development
BUILDING BRANDS THAT THE RETAILER OWN
- Private Brand programme design & maturity assessment
- Tier architecture & range strategy
- Innovation roadmaps & white-space identification
- Supplier strategy & benchmarking
- Category-level PB growth plans
This is where deep product knowledge meets commercial strategy. We help retailers and manufacturers design, grow, and optimise Private Brand programmes — from tier architecture and range planning to innovation pipelines and supplier alignment. With experience across 20+ markets, we know what works at shelf level.
In essence: We help retailers build Private Brand programmes that compete — not just on price, but on relevance.
Product Concept Development & Testing
DE-RISK THE CONCEPT BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Concept development from insight to proposition
- Consumer concept testing & validation
- Product-market fit assessment
- Sensory & attribute prioritisation
Before you invest in production, you need to know the concept holds up. We help teams develop product concepts grounded in real consumer insight, then test them — so you launch with confidence, not hope.
In essence: We help you get the product right before you invest in getting it to market.
Go-to-Market Strategy & Commercial Feasibility
PRESSURE-TESTING THE STRATEGY
- Business case development & review
- GTM model design (channel, pricing, distribution)
- Scenario planning & sensitivity analysis
- Cross-functional feasibility: sales, finance, supply chain
A good strategy is worthless if the commercial model doesn’t work. We stress-test your plans — the cost assumptions, the route-to-market options, the pricing architecture, the ROI scenarios — so you know what you’re signing up for before you commit.
In essence: We stress-test your plan so you can commit with confidence, not cross your fingers.
Portfolio & Pricing Strategy
STAYING RELEVANT AND PROFITABLE
- Portfolio architecture & rationalisation
- Pricing strategy & competitive positioning
- Demand-space frameworks to guide innovation
- Pack-price laddering
We advise on how to position the right SKUs, in the right packs, at the right price points. Whether you’re rationalising a bloated range or building out a new tier, we connect shopper data with commercial logic to make the portfolio work harder.
In essence: We help you define the right offer for the right shopper, in the right context.
