Any ingredient, functionality, or other innovation must protect a drink's flavor experience to deliver on value. While innovation in the non-alcoholic space is robust, keeping both brands and consumers on their toes, successful formulation allows for new tastes without too much mystery. .

      “We also use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

      Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.”

      Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, Wunderman Thompson

      “One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

      We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

      We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.”

      Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch

      “When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

      They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

      So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.”

      Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

      Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

      We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

      It’s mostly me who uses them but if I know someone is working on something specific I will share the relevant reports.

      As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
