Food, Drinks & Hospitality Research
The new generation of food and drink products is being driven by heightened attention to health and the link between what we consume and our physical and mental wellbeing.
We’re leaning towards healthier food products, vegan options, alternative milks, low-sugar drinks and low-alcohol options. In the restaurant space, dining out is becoming more experiential, whilst at the same time consumers now increasingly expect an option for delivery too. New entrants and disrupters are flooding the space and are quick to gain followers. For the more established businesses, it is essential to stay relevant as audiences’ needs change and evolve.

How we help clients
Refine your brand positioning and messaging
Brand strategiesIdentify your brand’s strengths relative to competitors through the eyes of your core consumers and customers. Through this process, get your teams to prioritise your brand’s key fortresses – areas of strength that are central to your value proposition - whilst editing down or editing out secondary features.
Become more customer-centric
Customer strategiesGet close to your target audience using a combination of qualitative exploration and robust market analysis to bring customer profiles to life for your teams. Work with us to design and embed a bespoke audience segmentation, helping teams within your business to align decision making around the needs of your core target audiences.
Launch successful products & propositions
Proposition and innovation testingWe help you identify and explore new opportunities to understand what resonates most amongst your target audience. Profile existing products against competitors to uncover the white spaces. Whether it’s an early stage idea or a prelaunch concept, we design studies that integrate multiple sources of insight to help you build winning propositions.
Develop and refine existing products
Product refinementTest the effect of changing your existing products in ways that make them cheaper to produce without alienating regular users. Better promote your products using evidence-based claims, collected through research. Ensure that product delivery and satisfaction align with user expectations to encourage higher repeat rates and better overall sales.
