Product & innovation

From concept development to go-to-market strategies, product and innovation research is all about relevance at every stage of the New Product Development Process. This is how we measure potential (impact on) penetration, alignment with the jobs to be done, and potential claim on relevant category entry points within the product category.

We help identify the emotional and functional needs of the target group and test how new products or innovations respond to these needs. This enables our clients to make confident decisions about new (product) launches.

By comparing results against a benchmark and testing emotional and functional aspects, we provide recommendations that enable clients to increase their market share and better respond to consumer needs. See below for the different types of research that fall into this category.
