How can you know whether a product or idea will appeal to consumers?

How about we just ask them …?

Do you, as a citizen, want to help determine what's on our store shelves?

What we do

Everyone wants to keep up with the latest trends, and respond to what's cooking in the world. That's what innovation is all about. But it's a lot easier said than done, and being forward-thinking holds some risks. Fortunately, they can be overcome, and we are here to help you deal with them.

Engaging consumers

Who are you doing it all for? Probably in part for yourself, because you like doing it, but above all for the consumer, the citizens, and society.

To know whether you are on a the right track, it is always a good idea to, now and then, ask the people on the receiving end how they see things. Or even better: to involve them in the development of future products, services or research.

Icoontje Communicatie Communication

Just because the message is clear to yourself, doesn't mean it is for the rest of the world. You are an expert in your own field, and that makes it hard to assess how much - or how little - others know, and how a certain message comes across.

Luckily, we have plenty of expertise in translating complex information into a message that everyone can understand.

Co-creation as a tool

Co-creation is creating together. With your target group of consumers, with other players from the value chain or parties your organisation works with, with experts, it's all possible.

By looking at things from multiple angles and devising solutions together, you get a much broader and more complete vision of the possibilities, needs and requirements of the market, and how to respond to them. Thus avoiding having too much of a tunnel vision, or having a one-sided story.

  • For companies in the food and related sectors, or other fast moving consumer goods
  • Research institutes, to support scientific research using consumers and/or enable communication of research results to a wider audience
  • Hospitals, care institutes, schools and other organisations working on their food and nutrition policies
