Challenge

How much brand lift and market differentiation will adding a new feature to our product give us?

Process

In-depth qualitative / prototype testing:

• We conducted one-on-one interviews and focus groups where target users interacted with feature prototypes, completing guided tasks and sharing perceptions. Observations of interaction patterns and open-ended feedback revealed insights into usability, relevance, brand lift, and competitive differentiation.

Quantitative / Monadic Concept Testing:

• A survey-based monadic design was used to expose separate groups of respondents to one of three revised feature concepts identified during qualitative research. Participants evaluated their assigned concept on appeal, potential to expand use cases, and impact on brand perception and differentiation from competitors.
