What do they do?

Our client helps senior executives of consumer-facing organizations make investment decisions that can drive millions of dollars in increased profits. We work with our clients to build their key strategies, guiding corporate decisions including:

  • We're considering investing hundreds of millions of dollars in rolling out the "store of the future" across our chain - what impact will our investment have on store sales?
  • A supermodel / sports celebrity endorsement costs us tens of millions of dollars per year - is it worth it for us to continue the endorsement?
  • We've got a new menu item that we believe will rapidly grow in popularity into being a signature dish. Should we promote this concept in a snack size on our dollar menu or in a full size as part of a combo meal?
  • Do sponsored ads alongside Google search results drive off-line sales in brick-and-mortar stores?
They answer these high stakes questions through a powerful combination of analytically-driven strategy consulting and enterprise software.
