We leverage our experience and category knowledge to deliver unmatched speed to market.
Click on each stage of development to reveal our process.
We start by listening to our client and finding out exactly what they are trying to achieve with their new product. First and foremost we want to define what success will look like in our client’s eyes. This is where we also assess the competitive market, where this item will fit and what we will need to provide to assure its success.


With an understanding of our desired outcome we can then apply our experience and market knowledge to create prototypes and imagery to test with consumer panels. Our new product development team consisting of; market researchers, research chefs, food scientists, and dieticians will collaborate to create a product that meets any set of desired, taste, visual and performance criteria.
Most good ideas look great to the developers but what’s most important is the reaction those ideas get from their target audience. Do they value and appreciate the concept as we expect them to? Are there changes we can make to the product to enhance its acceptance? Testing with focus groups is critical at this point to provide objective and actionable feedback


Knowing we have a product that aligns with our client’s and target consumer’s expectations we are ready to launch. Our product development cycle follows industry best practices. However, it’s the speed we work at and the experienced team we work with which allows us to bring products to market faster and more efficiently than other companies.
