The battle for consumer truth

How consumer and sensory research is facing disruption

Consumers are the life-blood of the food and drinks industry and must be at the heart of innovation and new product development (NPD). Our Consumer & Sensory Insight services are designed for marketing, research & development, brand and consumer insight teams. We’ll help you to ensure that your brand remains relevant in the face of rapidly changing consumer demands and the rise of challenger brands.

We use sensory science, consumer insight & behavioural economics to understand the dynamic consumer experience and predict how consumers will respond to new innovations and products.

We’ll ask candidly whether consumer and sensory research is fit for purpose in this new age and what we need to do to remain relevant.

Consumers call for manufacturers to take more responsibility in the war on plastic.

We all know plastic is a growing concern. As more companies make eco-friendly pledges, such as signing up to the UK Plastics Pact, we wanted to know what consumers think about this issue. Are consumers actively looking for products packaged with less plastic?
