TRANSCEND

  • Tired norms, built on the category middle, set the wrong bar for assessing potential—where ideas that aren’t broad, default to looking bad. And they provide no bar for assessing the most disruptive ideas which create entirely new categories.

  • Likes and dislikes alone set too low of a bar for understanding competitive advantage.

  • Evaluation of lengthy stimuli blurs feedback, without pinpointing the 1-2 core messages that will best break through in today’s sound-bite world.

  • Powerful advertising often targets a passion or pain point, yet most validation tools focus on Rep or category users. Plus, there’s a gap in the ad development process, between inspiration and validation – where consumer input can be critical to success, but quant fails to provide depth of insight, and qual is too easily influenced to yield confident improvement.

STATUS QUO

  • Predict Passion and Optimize Stimuli to drive growth:

    • Packaging Navigator™

    • Product Navigator™
      Measures concept fulfillment in       Live Sessions at a central location or at home, with the same precision-focus on segments and product performance elements as other Navigator™ solutions.
