Futures:
Futures insight gives us clarity into the ways in which the world is evolving, and how we can use this knowledge to create leading-edge change across all sectors.

By understanding and interpreting key cultural, category and consumer shifts we help brands to understand how their futures will be impacted, and how to harness these opportunities to define their future success.

Our insight identifies opportunities from white space in existing categories to the creation of entirely new sectors. Predicting and driving the key cultural shifts that have driven global change in food and beverage, personal care, luxury and lifestyle branding to create meaningful future-focused innovation.

Futures insight focuses on the seven different modes of ‘designing for life’, and comes to life in a variety of mediums, including cultural perspectives, category analysis, consumer profiling, inspirational presentations and innovation workshops.

Strategy:
Powerful strategy with sharp thinking sits at the heart of Pearlfisher and defines the original brand ideas through which we design for life.

Inspired by our Futures knowledge, our Strategists look at brand opportunities in the context of life, interpreting peoples’ changing needs and desires to set the foundation for visionary design solutions. Over our 30-year history, we have worked with many of the world’s leading Challengers & Icons – the brands that drive change for the better, with the most impact and influence on our lives.

Our strategy expertise focuses on unlocking this potential in every brand to create positive change through design.

We do this across the whole spectrum of strategic thinking, including Brand, Design, Portfolio and Communication Strategy.
