Behavior decoded: EyeSee welcomes Matthew Tullman

Intact Insurance Case Study: Turning complex services into high-impact online video ads

Our past research projects in this sector show that video campaigns leveraging brand personification can improve brand recall by up to 50%. However, stronger brand recall doesn’t automatically translate into message recall or a clear understanding of the offering.

Expert tips to unlock behavioral AI KPIs in pack testing

Without human interpretation, contextual knowledge, and industry experience, AI can mislead what is the most important - action and decision making. It takes real multidisciplinary expertise and cross-industry knowledge to understand the “hidden insight treasure” behind the numbers and turn data into decisions that actually move the needle.

Nestlé Accelerator case study: Fast innovation needs fast but deep insights

Innovation isn’t a luxury; sometimes it’s a lifeline that can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $10 million. Accelerating the innovation process can be especially challenging for large global companies with complex organizational structures. That’s why, at this year’s Quirk’s New York, we joined Nestlé Accelerator on stage to explore how even global giants can move with startup speed.

Pricing with purpose: How to get it right in inflationary times

Pricing is one of the most powerful levers in a brand’s toolbox—but it’s also one of the easiest to misjudge. Price too high, and products fail to convert. Price too low, and brands leave value on the table or risk devaluing their proposition. So how can pricing decisions be made with confidence, especially during inflation?

The winning portfolio: Capturing premium & budget buyers in inflation era

The sustainability say-do gap: A big challenge-but an even bigger opportunity

The 2023 Sustainable Market Share Index reveals that these products accounted for nearly a third of the growth in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector from 2013 to 2023 — and that trend has continued, even amid inflation.

Can a premiumization strategy help in the time of inflation?

At first glance, promoting premium offerings during a period of inflation seems like a contradiction. When wallets are tight, who’s going to spend more? But what if we stop equating “premium” solely with “higher price” and start viewing it as “greater value”? Once we factor in the rapid growth and increased presence on shelf of private label products, premiumization starts to make more sense—not less.

Brand stretching is a high-reward, high-risk strategy that requires a deep understanding of core identity, market dynamics, and, most of all, consumer behavior and needs. Brand stretching into different categories is just like that but twice as risky.

Looking is (halfway to) buying: The impact of pack visual hierarchy on shoppers

Effective packaging must stand out instantly, be liked (52% are more likely to repurchase if they find the packaging appealing), and lead to a purchase—all while remaining functional in the home and competitive on crowded shelves. This is where visual hierarchy—the strategic arrangement of design elements—plays a decisive role.
