Uncover the answers to questions such as:

  • Are we on the right track? – we’ll review (and explore) our knowledge base
  • Do we all buy-in? – aligning to springboard opportunities and post launch research
  • How do we refine our proposition? – iteratively optimising pack, concept, product & promise in parallel via design sprints
  • Can we confidently proceed? – efficient pressure testing before upscaling.

Just wanted to say thank you again for all the work on this project, I have been really impressed with the partnership on this from the approach and agility. For me this project has cemented the trust I have in you and the PLAY team and I can’t wait to keep working on more projects!

PLAY are an agency that we have worked with for many years. What stands out to me is their can do attitude, flexibility and overall ability to quickly put together and execute a plan that addresses our needs. Our needs are forever changing and PLAY are always so accommodating; looking for ways to make it happen vs tell us it cannot be done on time/budget! Their expertise spans so many areas that we are comfortable giving them a project brief that covers a mix of quant, qual and sensory exploration around product ideas, concepts, drinks or packs.

My PLAY innovation team are true business partners. On a recent project, they were quick to understand our business issues and the complexity of our internal processes. They recommended an approach which navigated the uncertainties of unfolding COVID situations, trans-Tasman relationships and accommodated the complications of product delivery. They tightly managed the research process, recruitment and fieldwork. Their thorough analysis delivered insightful and action oriented recommendations. Throughout this journey they were an absolute pleasure to deal with, helpful and responsive. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with this elite team
