Industry overview
Satisfying tastebuds from across the globe
Food and beverage in East Asia is characterized by rapid product development and high-turnover retail subject to food trends and youth consumption. Developments such as functional foods, cross-border cuisine adoption, and trickle-down of luxury F&B into smaller cities have opened numerous new opportunities and niches for brands to explore. For brands, it is more important than ever to optimize the identification of low signals and agility to capitalize on them.

Introducing a new product to foreign markets can be intimidating. We use ethnographic techniques to repeatedly test every aspect of your product, from taste, smell, texture, to visual appeal under a variety of consumption scenarios to help you deliver the perfect product.
We go beyond just taste
While taste is the primary driver of repurchase, visuals and packaging are what motivates first-time buyers. Our local visual design partners assist us in fine-tuning your packaging and other visual materials to target precisely purchasing triggers of local consumers.
