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.


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.

Turn consumer collaboration into your competitive advantage
Partner with consumers before you launch
Bring consumers into your development process as collaborators who help you spot problems and opportunities before production. Through creative exercises and ongoing feedback, they become partners who help you avoid costly mistakes while building products they're already invested in buying.
Co-create winning concepts with your target market
Work directly with consumers to develop and refine product ideas together. Use collaborative sessions where customers help shape concepts from the ground up, ensuring you invest in products that solve real problems they've helped you understand.
Design packaging that connects with consumer partners
Collaborate with consumers to create packaging that speaks their language—literally. Through exercises like brand personality sessions and visual feedback, they help you develop designs and messaging using words and concepts that naturally resonate.
Find your price point through consumer collaboration
Work with customers to understand the real value they place on your product through collaborative pricing exercises. Let them help you balance features, benefits, and cost to find the price point that feels right to both sides.
Build products with your consumers, not for them
Connect directly with your target audience throughout development to create products they actually want to buy and recommend.
