Sparking your innovative Ideas to build commercial pipelines

Intelligence in. Investable ideas out.
Bespoke in-person innovation workshops that turn category intelligence into investable NPD ideas. Consumer-centric. Commercially rigorous. Built for brand teams ready to move from insight to brief to bench.

From category signal to NPD brief - in a single day

Most innovation sessions produce a wall of Post-it notes and a follow-up email that nobody acts on.

seventy-8 Innovation Workshops are built differently. Every session starts with real category intelligence, runs through structured commercial and consumer thinking, and ends with a set of NPD ideas specific enough to take to bench-top formulation, commercial assessment, and consumer validation.

In-person. Bespoke. No templates recycled from another client's category.

Stage 1: Signal download

Stage 2: Consumer-centric ideation

Stage 3: NPD brief development

Here is What you leave with - Ideas specific enough to take to bench and buyer

Every workshop produces a set of deliverables built for immediate commercial use.

A curated NPD ideas shortlist - typically three to six concepts prioritised by consumer relevance, commercial viability, and speed to market. Each concept is specific: format, format rationale, ingredient direction, positioning territory, and retail channel target.

Structured NPD briefs for each prioritised concept, ready for bench-top formulation, commercial assessment, and consumer research routing.

A post-workshop summary report delivered within five working days, capturing the session outputs, the rationale behind prioritisation decisions, and the recommended next steps for each concept.

We do not arrive on the day and wing it

Every seventy-8 Innovation Workshop is preceded by a structured preparation process. Before the session, we conduct a full review of your existing portfolio and NPD pipeline, a category intelligence build specific to your brief and competitive set, and a stakeholder alignment call to ensure the day is built around your actual strategic questions - not a generic innovation framework.

This preparation is included in the workshop fee. It is what separates a productive day from a day that produces ideas you already had.

Built from 25 years inside the category

seventy-8 Innovation Workshops are led by Karl, founder of seventy-8 Consulting, with 25 years of experience across FMCG growth strategy, category development, consumer insight, product management, and innovation.
