Shopper and Category

Shopper, segmentation and brand work for retail.

We’ve worked with retailers across grocery, fashion, DIY and department-store formats. We know the rhythms of the trading calendar and the brutal honesty of EPOS data – and design research that respects both.

  • Shopper missions and occasion mapping
  • Range, assortment and format testing
  • Loyalty programme diagnostics

Loyalty programme diagnostics

Insight that lands in store, online and in the boardroom.

We translate research into formats that range planners, marketers and CEOs can all act on - because retail moves too fast for a 90-page report. From dashboard-ready segment cards to one-page commercial implications, we make sure insight reaches the people who buy, build and brief.

FAQs

Questions buyers ask us.

Do you work with grocery, fashion and non-food retailers?

Yes. Our retail portfolio spans grocery (Asda, Sainsbury’s-adjacent), fashion (Primark, New Look), DIY (B&Q) and entertainment retail (Vue, Odeon). The disciplines transfer; the category nuance is what we bring.

For diagnostics and creative testing – yes. We run a Big Qual approach that delivers structured findings inside a week. For segmentation and full-scale U&A, plan 8–12 weeks.

We design studies that triangulate behavioural data (EPOS, loyalty, clickstream) with attitudinal and emotional signal. Our in-house data science team builds the bridge between the two.

Yes – recent multi-market retail work spans the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain and the US, with local moderators in every market.
