Global Product & Service Innovation Agency
Brandspeak supports global organisations with NPD research throughout the innovation journey, providing evidence-based guidance at every stage from early opportunity exploration through to product refinement and post-launch monitoring.

Innovation and NPD market research refers to the process of gathering, analysing and interpreting market data to inform the development of new products or services.
Research may be conducted at different points in the development process to define target audiences, identify unmet consumer needs and opportunity areas, determine 'must-have' proposition features, evaluate initial concepts, test prototypes, and evaluate and monitor post-launch success.
NPD research provides the clarity and evidence needed to support stronger decisions and more focused progress throughout the innovation process.
It provides early feedback on emerging ideas and concepts, highlighting weaknesses before investment accelerates. By challenging assumptions and exposing misalignment with consumer expectations, NPD research prevents expensive errors and increases the likelihood of commercial success.
It reveals unmet needs, usage behaviours and occasions where new solutions can add real value. These insights help teams focus development on opportunities grounded in genuine consumer demand rather than internal assumptions or competitor imitation.
It clarifies which features matter most, where complexity can be removed and how propositions should evolve. This enables faster iteration, better alignment between teams and more efficient movement from idea to viable product.
It informs pricing, positioning, packaging and channel choices by showing how different segments interpret value. These insights support launch strategies that maximise relevance, encourage trial and set foundations for long-term performance.
Brandspeak uses exploratory qualitative research, co-creation, workshopping, ethnography, CX and UX assessment and quantitative validation surveys. Together, these approaches provide the data and evidence required for successful product innovation and go-to-market strategy development.

We worked with Brandspeak on a brand awareness project and we were extremely pleased with the quality of service and the process. They understood the complexity of the briefs and asked plenty of questions to make sure they fully understand the objectives. They interacted with all levels of people in our business and understood the differences within the market and suggested ways to tie the research together so it was still comparable. The results were delivered with easy to digest summaries that could be used across the business. We would highly recommend using them.

Very informative, easy to work with and a really friendly team. I would recommend Brandspeak to help any business grow. They are great quality for money, help niche sectors and present their findings in an understanding manner. They have provided a brand review, market review post-covid to ensure we are still up to date, along with two very valuable website reviews. Working with them for qualitative and quantities research has a been fantastic for us. Thank you for all your help!

We wanted to understand how elements of our brand were perceived by consumers and identify opportunities where we could make improvements. Brandspeak clearly understood the brief and worked closely with us to develop a research approach that would answer our questions. The insight has been used to inform the development of our creative and also applied to other areas of our marketing communications. It was a pleasure to work with Brandspeak.

From their initial proposal they displayed an understanding of financial services and a clarity of thinking that made them stand out. Since then they have consistently delivered to demanding timescales. But what really sets them apart are their actionable and business focused recommendations which give them the credibility to influence senior internal stakeholders. I have really enjoyed working with them and look forward to doing so again.
