RANGE OF RESEARCH

EXPERTS IN BRAND DEVELOPMENT

Papaya has a core strength in researching everything to do with brand development – from ad testing to masterbrand repositioning. Clients love that about us and agencies love to work with us because we ‘get brands’!

Prior to founding Papaya in 2006, Mary Ann Neshevich (one of the Managing Directors) was EVP of Strategic Planning at Young & Rubicam where she honed her skills on everything to do with brand development – mining and leveraging consumer truths and human insights that inspired the development of creative briefs. Mary Ann also has 13 years of client side experience as Director of Marketing at Cadbury and also as VP Brand Development at BCE.

We have conducted much work in brand development with many clients such as Coke, Loblaws, Kellogg’s, General Mills, Ford, Kia, BMO, CIBC, Scotiabank, and over a dozen ad testing and brand positioning projects with Pfizer alone on key brands like Centrum, Advil, Emergen-C. Our work for Minute Maid resulted in Coca-Cola Canada’s highest ad testing score ever!

Discovering the truth is not always easy. It can often be filtered through a respondent’s social and/or cultural ego, especially, in the presence of others. Truth can also lie below their level of consciousness making them unable to articulate the ‘why’ behind their attitudes and behaviours.

Papaya combines innovative, projective techniques with environments that are inviting, fun and very conversational. Respondents feel safe, engaged, and confident while being challenged to uncover deeper, less conscious feelings - revealing the ‘real truth’ behind their behaviours.

A fresh, motivating insight properly leveraged can re-invigorate a brand and set it on a clear path for growth. But uncovering these powerful insights requires careful navigation. You need to know where to look.

 

At Papaya we are known for our ability to listen, analyze, and probe around even the tiniest of nuggets so that all potential insights are fully noticed, mined, and explored - to ensure a powerful brand connection that is both relevant and differentiating.

Beyond just uncovering the deeper truths and more insights, Papaya knows how to translate them into ideas that will solve business challenges and grow brands.

 

Given our wealth of experience extending beyond Marketing Research into the fields of Marketing, Sales and Advertising, Papaya’s ideas are delivered as strategic recommendations that are highly actionable.
