FMCG

Improving brands, products, packaging, processing and services

We help consumer goods clients to grow, through unique brand experiences and R&D innovation.

Consumers have options. Lots and lots of them. How, then, to catch their eye and win their loyalty? The answer isn’t surprising: offer a value proposition that fits their contextual needs. With multi-disciplinary collaboration, evidence-based insight and advice, and a proud history of breakthrough innovation, we have you covered.

When we partner with you to develop Fast Moving Consumer Goods (or Consumer Packaged Goods: CPG), we balance your “now” with your future. Our teams express your brand’s DNA structurally, graphically and digitally, while elevating the opportunity based on deep consumer, technology, and commercial insights. As we move through the innovation process, from insight to ideas, prototypes to production, we help you navigate the tensions around sustainability, differentiation, cost of goods, and consumer experience. You’ll know you’re in safe hands.

Our teams are experienced across thousands of client projects. Work spans short-term incremental wins through to breakthrough innovation across brand, product, packaging, new service offerings, and manufacturing processes. Our entire culture has been shaped to unlock value from multidisciplinary teams and to ensure close collaboration with our clients. Those clients describe us as agile, ingenious, and candid – foundations for long-term relationships that deliver success.
