Renovation Sprints
Sales slowing down and you’re not sure why?
A Renovation Sprint is a fast-paced, high-impact engagement that diagnoses what’s dragging performance , looking across consumer behavior, category shifts, and competitive moves. We identify what’s still working, what’s not, and where the biggest upside is. You get aligned opportunities and clear next steps for a smart refresh to your brand or portfolio. We can lead the charge or bring your team along for the ride, hands-on or hands-off, depending on your timeline and bandwidth.
Consumer Jobs + Growth Frameworks
Struggling to prioritize where to play or how to grow?
We build clear, actionable frameworks rooted in consumer Jobs-to-be-Done. These maps unpack what your consumers are really trying to solve (not just what they’re buying) and connect those needs to specific white space opportunities. Whether you’re rethinking a category, planning innovation, or pressure-testing a pipeline, these tools align teams fast and guide smart decision-making.
Launch Rescue
Your launch didn’t land the way you expected, let’s turn that around fast!
Launch Rescue is a fast, forensic analysis designed to uncover why a product isn’t performing to plan. We go beyond the dashboards, talking with retailers, consumers, and even stockers to piece together the full story of what’s happening in market. We look at shelf execution, competitive response, and consumer behavior to identify the real culprits behind stalled sales (fast!).
You’ll walk away with clear, actionable next steps: what’s working, what’s broken, and what to do about it. Sometimes that means a turnaround play to get the product back on track, other times it means hard-earned insights that sharpen the next innovation. Either way, no wasted lessons, just actionable intelligence.
Futureproofing Labs
Is your strategy built for where the world is going, or just where it’s been?
Futureproofing Labs are fast, focused sessions where we pressure-test your pipeline, positioning, and priorities against emerging consumer shifts, cultural signals, and category shakeups. We cut through trend noise to find what really matters, align your team around what’s coming, and identify where your brand is most (and least) prepared. Less crystal ball, more strategic readiness.
Concept Forge
Create consumer-driven ideas that will grow your brand!
The Concept Forge is a fast-paced, professionally facilitated session (or series of sessions) built to spark bold, strategically grounded ideas, not just a free-for-all brainstorm. We guide your team through a focused series of provocations, creative constraints, and rapid-fire exercises designed to unlock white space and push beyond incremental thinking. Leave with a set of exciting, consumer-relevant early-stage concepts OR allow us to refine them into fully written, professionally illustrated concepts.
