When your brand ‘why’ overlaps with your target shoppers’ and consumers’ ‘why’… that is when the magic happens.
Do you need shopper and consumer research and insight… plus the ‘so what, and what next for my brand’?
Or a brand strategy… based on real insight and evidence?
Market research and brand strategy go together like gin and tonic. Or milk and cookies. Or fish and chips. Or strawberries and cream.
On their own, they’re good. Together? They’re awesome.

Why work with me?
I provide insight, brand vision and strategy in one simple process: your consumer and shopper research flows seamlessly into brand strategy development and growth planning.
I’m Isabel Lydall, an experienced consumer and shopper researcher, human behaviour and trends geek – and former Head of Insight and Category Strategy for a major snacking business. I can help you get under the skin of how shoppers and consumers behave, what they need and how to connect with them.
What makes me different is that I’m also an MA-qualified brand marketer who has delivered millions of pounds of sales growth – through executing comms campaigns, product launches, branding in market – on some of the UK’s most loved brands (large and small).
So not only do I know how to cook up insight-led brand growth strategies that will work in market… I also know exactly what it takes to deliver them.
