HOW LEADING BRANDS BUILD WINNING PRODUCTS WITH CONSUMERS

Our platform brings consumers into your development process, gathers real-world insights, and helps you launch with confidence

Real-time consumer collaboration

Connect directly with your target audience throughout the development process, not just at the end. Our platform facilitates ongoing dialogue between your team and consumers, allowing you to test concepts, gather feedback on prototypes, and refine products based on actual user experiences. Even schedule in-depth interviews (IDI) with product testers for a deeper dive. This continuous loop means fewer surprises at launch and products that truly resonate with your market.

Feedback Capture - co creation

Comprehensive feedback capture

Collect rich, multi-dimensional insights through customizable surveys, photo and video submissions, and in-the-moment responses. Our intuitive interface encourages high participation rates and detailed feedback, giving you the depth of consumer understanding needed to make confident product decisions. No more guessing what consumers really think—you'll have their authentic voices guiding your choices.

Co-creation insights engine

Turn creative consumer collaborations into strategic development guidance with analytics designed for qualitative co-creation. For example, one brand had testers write "love letters" or "break up letters" to the product they tested, which reveals organically generated consumer language. Turn projective exercises and creative feedback into clear product development priorities that reflect genuine consumer emotions, not just surface opinions.

Common consumer research questions

What is co-creation? A: Co-creation means bringing consumers into your product development process as active partners, not just feedback providers. Instead of asking "do you like this product," you work together through creative exercises, real-world testing, and collaborative sessions to shape products from concept to launch. Consumers become part of your extended development team.
How does co-creation prevent costly product failures? A: Co-creation catches problems early when fixes cost thousands instead of millions. Consumers test your products in real-world settings and provide detailed feedback throughout development, helping you identify issues before launch. This prevents expensive recalls and protects your brand reputation.
Does co-creation actually speed up development? A: Yes. You get consumer insights in about 3 weeks instead of months with traditional research. You can run multiple tests simultaneously and make decisions quickly based on reliable feedback, helping products reach market faster while still being thoroughly validated.
How do we know the consumer feedback is reliable? A: The platform maintains high data quality through careful screening–only accepting about half of applicants and filtering out inattentive participants. This results in just 1-2% unreliable data compared to 30% with typical research methods.
How is this different from focus groups? A: Instead of artificial lab settings, consumers use your products at home over time and become active partners in development. You get deeper, more honest feedback from engaged participants rather than superficial responses from typical surveys.
