FMCG and CPG research success

As consumer behaviours, shopping patterns and preferences undergo a seismic shift, the demand placed on research and insight teams is immense. Researchers must drive innovation, meet agile timescales and centralise feedback on an unprecedented scale.

From building custom segmentations to support product and brand extensions, to delivering incremental innovation through product testing and the mining of ongoing feedback - research teams in the CPG and FMCG sector must prioritise flexibility, adaptability and action. Our experience in volatile markets, supported by technology that delivers new efficiencies, greater reach and more impactful influence is vital to the success of our international clients.

Agile surveys for fast feedback

Through InsightHub, brands can leverage robust survey data collection and analysis tools in a streamlined workflow.

In a sector where consumer loyalty is faltering, innovation cycles are shortening and barriers to entry are falling - the companies that succeed are those that understand their customers the best. To achieve this requires an always-on research schedule that forms part of the fabric of brand decision-making.

The SurveyMR tool available through InsightHub enables research teams to build, test and field complex surveys in a matter of minutes. Leverage the revolutionary flowchart based interface to probe new trends, set up regular trackers, monitor brand loyalty, test pricing strategies and much more - all in a centralised, scalable and collaborative environment that acts as an end-to-end insight engine.

Growing online communities

Discover the seeds of disruption and uncover unmet needs with engaging, scalable online communities.

Disruption has uprooted nearly every aspect of the traditional CPG and FMCG industry across the last decade. From emerging pricing models to new distribution channels, innovative products to pioneering marketing tactics - getting ahead of the latest industry evolution requires an in-depth understanding and connection to customers.

The FlexMR InsightHub platform can be used to build engaging, scalable online research communities that strike a harmonious balance between researcher-led projects and organic customer feedback. Listen in on detailed qualitative conversations to understand the behaviours and attitudes that will drive the next big idea.
