A word from Oliver
Brand extension means finding opportunity, building relationships, pleasing partners and learning about the fans you want to reach with new products and services.
It’s a challenge to balance everything you need to do to grow your brand. You told us;
- You don’t have enough time to gather market intelligence.
- You value strategic insight but it’s expensive to bring an agency in to do it for you.
We thought we can help the industry much more with this. Retail research is effective and so much fun, why should we keep it to ourselves?
Skew have unlocked clients challenges thousands of times by taking them out to the shops on focused, guided research trips. And now you can do this too, with Skew's Haul events!
I’d love you to join us for a day in London that might just change the way you work.
