Testimonials

Trusted Partner, Start to Finish

“I’ve partnered with Mike Donovan for more than 25 years across a range of front-end innovation and product design projects in Food & Beverage, Personal Health Care, and Oral Care. Mike brings a rare depth of qualitative research expertise. He engages consumers in ways that uncover nuanced insights and then collaborates seamlessly with teams to translate those insights into innovation strategies, product/package design opportunities, and compelling claims. I especially valued his responsiveness, flexibility, and genuine client focus. He listens, adapts, and consistently delivers sharp, relevant insights that move innovation forward.”

“I have worked with Sharon Lally for more than 10 years and I keep coming back because I know she and her staff will get the job done right. They are dedicated, professional, think strategically, take responsibility for a project and see it through to completion. Their prices are very competitive and they are willing to be creative within my tiny budget. I also enjoy working with them because they are just plain fun – they even make me laugh.”
