A well-known and trusted sweet confections company is exploring options to manufacture two of their popular hard candy line varieties at a co-manufacturer and wants to confidently ensure that the quality of their products is maintained by testing current sample products against the co-manufacturers sample.

A popular and traditional brand of soft drinks was concerned about maintaining relevance with a younger demographic of consumers. They sought to create a new-to-its-kind and game-changing product that will create an impact among young adults. Our co-creation methodology is approached with 3 crucial elements in mind to help teams produce new and unique game-changing ideas with impact:
A disruptive brand wanted to invest $20M to promote its new energy drink. While working with Ravel to identify the winning copy for launch, the company found none of the ads would be effective in the marketplace. The brand began considering firing its global ad agency and needed objective guidance to illuminate its best course of action.
A large CPG company wanted to better understand the potato chip category to shape and fuel its product direction. They knew they not only needed to identify the leading potato chip brands but also consider how the top players differed from one another.
A large beverage company wanted to understand the implications of a new formula being introduced to the category. They needed a comprehensive overview of how this formula compared to the other offerings on the market to gauge the potential threat to their product’s success.
A large confectionery company wanted to improve its chocolate. To optimize the product and improve market performance, the client needed to understand how their offering performed compared to other key players.
A large ice cream company wanted a deeper understanding of the novelty ice cream category. They needed transparency into what drives consumer liking and insight into top products’ competitive advantages.
