Turning Consumer Insights Into Business Breakthroughs.

CAPABILITIES OVERVIEW

Page 2: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

You may hear your consumer,but are you really listening?

Page 3: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Consumers today want to have a relationship with the brands they

buy, which means they want to be heard and they expect you to

listen. But research and data can only take you so far.

Insight, judgment and experience are essential ingredients in

deciphering the consumer opportunity and creating real

breakthroughs.

At SpencerHall, our focus is to be a true strategic partner for our

clients.

We share a passion for consumer discovery and innovation,

and have a proven track record of success.

There are no junior partners here: we each have 15-25+ years

of relevant experience, and love what we do.

We bring that energy and enthusiasm to all our projects, leveraging

incisive strategic and creative thinking borne from our experience.

Page 4: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

We create dynamic situations and scenarios that encourage consumers to

explore unfamiliar territory, uncovering new insights and triggers.

We focus on uncovering actionable, forward looking insights that can be the

basis for business breakthroughs.

Our capabilities center on creating customized qualitative research in the US and

globally.

1. Proprietary techniques that go deeper than conventional research.

2. Ethnographic Studies that provide a real-world view into consumer practices

and compensatory behaviors.

3. Sounding Boards™ online research tool allows you to work with your

consumer on an iterative basis, to create thinking partnerships that result in

deeper insights and brand exploration.

Research

The first thing on a consumer’s mind

is the last thing you want to know.

Consulting

The demand for breakthrough ideas is intensifying, but at the same time, barriers

to innovation are increasing.

SpencerHall breaks through those barriers to give you customized innovation

programs that lead your team from the front end through pre-market

validation.

Our Disciplined Creativity™ process uncovers unarticulated needs and insights

that become the foundation for generating true breakthroughs.

1. Transforum® - Springboards beyond conventional thinking by blending the

expertise of your team with our Brain Trust of creative thought-leaders in a

dynamic online ideation forum.

2. Flashpoint™ – Our brainstorming process inspires your team‘s creativity with

proprietary stimuli, expert perspectives and fresh insight.

3. Re/Discovery™ - We help you uncover the insights and new technologies you

may already have within your company, revealing the next big idea.

There’s no time to wait for a big idea,

and with SpencerHall, no need.

Page 6: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Consulting

Turning consumer insights into

business breakthroughs.

Many products fail because they lack a key ingredient – true insight. They fail

to discover consumers‘ core motivations and unarticulated needs.

The result: they fall short of delivering a higher order connection– that

striking combination of a compelling functional benefit and meaningful

emotional bond.

SpencerHall has proven expertise in crafting concepts that generate

consumer action.

We‘ve created record setting concepts for companies such as

Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and SC Johnson.

We help clients develop winning propositions:

1.Concept Writing - Proven effectiveness in crafting concepts that are

clear, differentiated and compel consumer action.

2.Brand Positioning / Brand Architecture – Insightful strategic and creative

thinking to develop frameworks for sustained business momentum.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“We had a challenging, ambitious project in that we needed to obtain foundational

insights about consumers' interaction/behavior with the product AND their emotional

connections AND ultimately have them weigh in on positioning territories - many layers

of questions and insights needed, without the budget for a multi-phase/multi-technique

approach. SpencerHall and their Sounding Board process exceeded our expectations every

step of the way. They are totally engaged and share our determination in reaching our

end objective. They are methodical, analytical, thinking, smart, creative people. And

really enjoyable to work with!”

McDonald’s

“With its team of senior-level strategic thinkers, SpencerHall not only led us through the

ideation process to get to great ideas, but also provided unique research methodologies.

I highly recommend SpencerHall for any company looking to quickly, efficiently, but

smartly, build innovation plans for its brands.”

Jim Beam Brands

“Leveraging SpencerHall’s strategic skills, innovative techniques, and insights helps us

translate consumer feedback into clear actionable results. I look to SpencerHall as a

business partner who truly understands our business and our consumers.”

Cincinnati Bell

“The SpencerHall team has an impressive blend of strategic and creative skills that

enabled them to develop and lead an innovation program that generated a portfolio of

compelling new products that will drive our business for years to come. What’s more,

they helped us identify an overarching brand promise that all the new products delivered

against, helping create a clear strategic platform for the Brand.”

INSIGHT GENERATION

Page 11: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

When you only spend an hour or two with your consumers in a focus group or

interview setting, you’re only getting a glimpse of their lives, and how your

Brand fits into it.

SpencerHall‘s Sounding Boards is a proven online research tool that enables clients

to create ―thinking partnerships‖ with their best customers and prospects, enabling

multiple points of contact to build a relationship, and thus revealing deeper

insights.

Sounding Boards gives you the ability to work on an iterative basis with your target,

to learn, create and optimize.

You can obtain insights and feedback that reflect the realities of your target‘s day-

to-day lives, and how they experience a brand or category.

With Sounding Boards, you can uncover and better dimensionalize need states and

insights that connect them to a category, platform, or brand.

Page 12: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Our proprietary software interface makes participating in the Sounding Boards fun and easy for

respondents and clients, and offers a range of benefits and capabilities:

Ongoing, iterative conversations that can span days, weeks or months

Private ―chats‖ or group discussions, including in real-time.

The ability to conduct surveys for concepts, packaging, advertising, positioning, etc.

Electronic Storytelling and Visualization exercises.

Interactive format ideal for consumer-driven idea generation and concept building.

Streaming video function protects confidentiality.

With Sounding Boards, you can bring together your best prospects, dimensionalize different

consumer segments and even gather hard to reach groups, as well as geographically diverse

targets from around the US or globally.

It‘s also ideal for obtaining candid feedback from project teams, retailers or other partners.

Page 13: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

SAMPLE SCREENS

Page 14: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Case StudyAn alcoholic beverage client wanted to

create new products and rekindle

interest in their Brand.

We conducted Sounding Boards among

bartenders from a range of

venues across the country, and they

provided fresh insight into needs, habits

and practices. As part of this, we had

bartenders create new drink ideas and try

them out with their customers, providing

us with a real world creative laboratory.

We then conducted a Flashpoint ideation

session in Las Vegas, where part of the

stimulus was having client teams visit the

hottest bars/restaurants to experience

their ‗signature‘ cocktails. All this

learning came together in an ideation

session that leveraged our new learning to

create a platform of new product ideas. .

Page 15: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Case StudyA greeting card company was developing

a new relationship building product with

an online component targeted to both

younger and older consumers and

needed to understand how it would be

accepted by consumers.

We recommended our Sounding Boards

online research tool to interact with both

the sender and the recipient to understand

all the emotions surrounding sending the

card and receiving the card.

We first interacted with the sender to

understand more about what they wanted

to communicate via the card. We then

sent them card prototypes in the mail and

had them choose a card to send to their

recipient. Once the recipient received the

card, they went online to experience the

online aspect, then linked to our Sounding

Boards site to discuss their reactions and

builds.

Page 16: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Case StudyFeeling that their brand was outdated

and non distinctive, a client was unsure

how to approach product innovation.

Our iConnect™ methodology (conducted

online or in person), enables us to

uncover tacit information—those beliefs,

perceptions and behaviors that are

inherent but often unrecognized and

unarticulated by the consumer.

iConnect allows consumers to articulate

their emotional connection to a product or

category using visual stimuli .

With iConnect, we were able to uncover

deep brand connections that still

resonated with consumers, helping us

define a relevant field of play for

innovation.

Page 18: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Case StudyAs a lead in to an innovation project for

a packaged good firm wishing to enter

the home organization/storage category,

we visited consumers in their home to

identify problem areas for home

organization/storage and capture

emotional insights about how

disorganization made them feel.

Using our Guest of Honor technique, we

‗secretly‘ brought with us a home

organization expert, who first observed

the respondent and their unmet needs.

We then revealed the expert to the

respondent and watched as the home

organization expert offered suggestions

for fixing their problem areas.

We then went shopping with the

respondent to purchase products to fix

their organization problems, then went

back into the home to observe them

actually using the products. Based on this

entire transaction we were able to

identify problems and solutions that truly

delighted the consumer, as well as expert

guidance on how to turn consumer

problems into product opportunities,

which provided key levers for innovation.

Page 19: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Case StudyA major snack food manufacturer

needed to understand snacking behavior

to address brand issues and a changing

category.

We placed video cameras in

several locations in consumers‘ homes to

capture general eating and snacking

behavior at different parts of the day and

week.

This allowed us to observe the

respondents‘ ‗real‘ behavior and the

context for the snack choices they made

before actually meeting them.

We then went shopping with them to

understand their snack choices. After the

shopping visit, we went to their homes to

view pantry stocking behavior, as well as

watch the family interact with the snacks.

The insights gained in this project helped

the brand re-stage the brand via updated

package messages and new brand

communication.

Page 20: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Case StudyA plant care manufacturer was looking

for ways to grow the category among

new users.

We took non-user respondents to their

usual home goods store to bring them

face-face with the product category and

observe their reactions at this Moment of

Discovery.

Respondents had to purchase a product,

and we went with them to their home to

observe them using it.

Based on the insights that were revealed,

we completely reconfigured the shelf set,

modified packaging communication

hierarchy, and developed in-store

messaging to attract non users.

Page 21: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Two distinct innovation processes

to provide the discipline and

solutions that are best for your

business and organization.

IDEA CREATION

Page 22: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

One of the biggest inhibitors of innovative thinking is institutional knowledge. This

“conventional wisdom” makes it nearly impossible to think outside the box teams have

built around themselves.

SpencerHall‘s Transforum® springboards beyond conventional thinking by blending the

expertise of your team with creative thought leaders in a dynamic online ideation forum.

Our Brain Trust includes futurists, cultural anthropologists, engineers, consumer

psychologists, trend spotters, inventors, chefs, authors and artists.

Participants ideate from anywhere in the world, logging on periodically over the 3 day

session, to create, probe, and build on ideas.

Everyone sees and builds on each others' ideas to create real forward thinking

momentum. Artists also contribute sketches to bring ideas to life, providing further

stimulation to everyone.

Hundreds of ideas, build outs and visuals will be generated, capitalizing on the energy

and diverse perspectives that are participating.

Page 23: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Below is a sample of some of the individuals in our Transforum® Brain Trust:

Social Trends Expert: An expert on societal trends especially related to women, children,

families. Former staff editor at Ladies' Home Journal, Glamour and Parents magazines.

Technologist: Former VP of R&D and Chief Scientific Officer for two leading packaged

goods manufacturers, bringing a wide experience to bear on how science-based consumer

businesses use consumer insight and technology to grow revenues and how risks are

assumed and managed.

Consumer Psychologist: An expert in consumer products marketing, brand management

and consumer behavior, with extensive knowledge on positioning multiple category

products, marketing radically new products and the advantages of strong brands.

Consumer Behavior Expert: Current Professor of Marketing and a former faculty member

of the Sloan School of Management at MIT. Author of a number of books on consumer

behavior, and applying social cognition to consumer-focused strategies.

Society and Culture Expert: Researcher and Teacher at Harvard University about Positive

Psychology and the Science of Happiness.

Page 24: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Getting Started

We create a Transformation Plan that captures the innovation objectives, key insights for

innovation, and capabilities/limitations that can influence idea generation. This is shared

with all Transforum participants when they first access the site to ensure everyone is

aligned.

Mind Expansion

Participants ideate from anywhere in the world, logging on periodically over the 3 day

session, to create, probe, and build on ideas. We typically suggest blocking out 45 minutes

several times a day to ideate on the site. Additional creativity exercises and expert

presentations are posted on the site to help stimulate divergent thinking. Everyone sees

and builds on each others‘ ideas. Ideas can be grouped by category, making it easy to

ideate across multiple categories. At the end of each day, SpencerHall recaps the ideas

that have been generated, making it easy to see the breadth of the exploratory, and

identify any areas to emphasize in the subsequent days.

Synthesis and Convergence

At the conclusion of the brainstorming, we will transfer the idea recaps to our Appraise

survey software, and send links to the survey to designated client personnel. Team

members will be able to individually rate each idea, and provide any commentary they

would like on each idea. We will then tabulate the responses, resulting in a prioritized list

of ideas that merit further development.

Page 25: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

This is where participants

view the Transformation

Plan and Expert slide

shows. The New Message

light flashes when a new

message or presentation

has been posted.

The blue buttons let you

decide to view and build

out ideas: chronologically,

by category, since you last

logged on, or your own

ideas.

Page 26: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

When you click on the New

Idea button, an Idea Sheet

appears, encouraging

participants to think

completely about the idea.

You can spell check the

idea or to let an idea

percolate, you can click

the Save State button and

hold the idea until you are

ready to post it.

Ideas are created using a

format that captures the

consumer insight, the

benefit/promise, and the

support/reason-to-believe.

Page 27: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

This is an example of what

a posted idea and builds

look like. The original idea

is posted and then visuals

and build-outs are

automatically posted under

each idea.

Over the course of the

Mind Expansion session,

hundreds of ideas and

builds like this will be

generated.

You can see which areas are

generating the most

enthusiasm by the caliber

of builds under the original

idea.

Page 28: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

At the conclusion of the

brainstorming, we will use

our Appraise survey

software and send links to

the survey to designated

client personnel to vote on

the ideas.

Team members will be able

to individually rate each

idea and provide any

commentary they would like

on each idea.

Page 29: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

We will then tabulate the

responses, resulting in a

prioritized list of ideas that

merit further development.

Case StudyCreating school lunch options that would

satisfy students, administrators and

nutritionists alike was the challenge

brought by a large food services

manufacturer.

We utilized SpencerHall‘s proprietary

TransforumTM online ideation tool to

harness the creative energies of our Brain

Trust team of outside creative experts,

along with the client and SpencerHall

teams.

Over a 3 day period, we generated a

wealth of new ideas that delivered great

tasting, nutritious and cost effective foods

that delighted all target groups, providing

a pipeline of new products that allowed

the client to stay relevant with its key

constituencies.

Page 32: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

The demand for breakthrough ideas is intensifying. You can be patient and

hope a big idea comes along, or rally the troops and paper the walls in hyper-

brainstorming sessions. We've found that true innovation demands more.

SpencerHall's unique Flashpoint ideation process helps clients connect with their

consumers, ensuring the team sees, feels, thinks and reacts through the

consumer’s heart and mind.

We know that the mind sets neural pathways that help us solve problems every day,

without having to "reinvent the wheel." However, those set pathways can lead

people to the same ideas over and over.

At SpencerHall, we've developed proprietary techniques that break through

those neural paths to generate truly innovative new ideas.

We believe that a mix of disparate perspectives helps create an "alchemy" of truly

breakthrough thinking, so in addition to the client and SpencerHall teams, we

include relevant outside experts to share their insights and help brainstorm. We

also include an artist to help bring ideas to life.

Page 33: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Typically, the Flashpoint session runs for two days. We conduct the sessions in venues

that are reflective of the assignment, and conducive to creativity:

The Hot Pink Suite at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas for a liquor innovation project.

A botanical garden for air freshening.

Major league ballpark for male grooming products.

Prior to the Flashpoint session, participants are given Idea Journals that include fun

―homework‖ assignments to help them get immersed in the target.

We begin the Flashpoint session with a ―Meeting of the Minds‖ to ensure the entire

team is grounded in key objectives and focus areas. This includes translating consumer

insights into posters that are kept on display, to literally surround the client team with

their consumers.

Then, our Flashpoint facilitators stimulate revolutionary thinking among participants,

using a series of creative exercises developed by our Consumer Psychologists. Some

techniques involve the entire group, others small breakout teams, and yet others are

done individually.

Ideas are captured on our special Idea Builder sheets, to ensure we are generating

holistic ideas that are grounded in consumer insight.

Page 34: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Case StudyWe led a comprehensive consumer

immersion and innovation program for a

major line of hair care products.

Our Discovery research plan included a

series of research encounters with both

consumers and hair stylists , whom

consumers turn to for professional advice

on the products that are best for their

hair. We challenged respondents with a

―Pre-Stimulation‖ exercise to create ideas

for breakthrough new hair care products.

This resulted in identifying a number of

major new product areas that went far

beyond conventional product forms/

benefits. We used these themes as the

foundation for our Flashpoint innovation

session, where we brought together the

client and SpencerHall team with outside

experts that expanded our thinking. The

result was a multi-year pipeline of

breakthrough new products and forms

created in just two days.

Page 35: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Developing, optimizing and

quantifying concepts that emerged

from the innovation phase.

CONCEPTDEVELOPMENT & VALIDATION

Page 36: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Identifying the big idea is only part of the challenge of creating winning new

concepts. Great ideas can fail if they are not communicated well.

SpencerHall has proven expertise in crafting positioning and new product concepts

that are clear, compelling, and that generate consumer action.

We have created concepts that set company records for clients such as

Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola and SC Johnson.

We are routinely called upon to create positioning directions for clients who

have struggled with how to frame their product so it truly connects at the

critical intersection of functional and emotional benefits to create a higher

order proposition that is truly meaningful.

Page 37: SpencerHall Capabilities Overview

Case StudyA quick serve restaurant wanted to re-

invigorate consumer passion for a core

menu item that had lost its relevance to

many consumers.

Our Sounding Boards were conducted

among several consumer segments,

including users who were frequent

consumers of the product.

We conducted a “forced deprivation”

exercise where they could not eat the

product for 2 weeks, and had to keep a

journal capturing when they craved it,

what they ate instead, and how they felt

about that.

At the end of the 2 weeks, we had them

eat the product again, and describe that

experience, uncovering incredibly rich and

powerful sensory and emotional cues for

positioning directions that generated very

positive consumer response. This learning

resulted in new brand positioning that

created a stronger emotional connection

with consumers.
