develop concepts that consumers love.

At this stage, we help you generate unique but commercially-oriented ideas off the back of opportunity areas and create fully articulated visual and written concepts. Importantly, we make sure your team is taken along the journey and onboard to continue with the innovation project.

We use techniques that get you to break your current frame of reference and think beyond the category and product innovation. We're believers in bringing early ideas to life as much as possible using experiential techniques, early prototyping and in-situ testing. And no matter what, we keep the initial market need and opportunity in mind.

shopper testing in- house at the lab.

We're pretty proud to call Australia's largest sensory testing lab home. Our best-in-class sensory & shopper facilities and tools like eye tracking & 3D prototyping help bring your innovation to life. You (and your consumer) will get a glimpse of the end product in a real-life scenario. We can even mock up an entire physical or digital supermarket aisle, letting test subjects experience your product just like they would in-store.

matches made in heaven

A leading Australian dairy and food company wanted to test out a heap of ideas, fast while keeping costs down.Luckily, that's exactly what we're good at. Our team deployed an approach that quickly surveyed shoppers and produced a hierarchy of ideas - some of which were turned into actual products!
