A method to integrate science/technology, marketing and trends in the process of product and concept development.
An integrative thinking process for product development in cosmetics and skin care, but also any technology based product. Also a new way of working, bringing together three fundamentally different department, yet essential to a healthy product and concept development process. Keys to communicate better, work better, produce better, sell better.
We marry science and technology with culture and society. We integrate epistemology in the concept development process, rendering both science and marketing thoughtful and smart.
2. the importance of context
An increasingly complex and very
connected environment,
Consumers are exposed to many
trends and evolve accordingly,
The pace of change is accelerating,
Technology and science move fast,
impacting society in too many ways
to count

4. TODAY
Yet, years of back

marketing and

handed out to the

Increasing efforts

The process
requires new
methods
Too many things
change too fast
for marketing and
research to be
able to keep up,
