CurrentCovering business innovation challenges from web PR/marketing, market data gathering, product gap analysis, concept to SKU and production i2m, LLC provides comprehensive business solutions that specifically match clients' needs.Projects included: $15MM PepsiCo Marketing initiative to develop, design and implement a 10+ year near-real-time Consumer Market Research methodology. Including creating the necessary tracking from the company's former methodology, this new system included creating a shift in consumer surveying and sampling methods to near-real-time in order to more accurately calibrate consumer product use and desires and best inform company-wide the multi-billion dollar marketing decisions on product penetration, new product development and product line acquisitions. We developed, implemented and managed parallel national and international on-going electronic self-checking market data surveying systems effectively leveraging personal information devices which later moved to smartphones. The system was linked to an online pre-survey consumer filtration to access and target specific demographic and geographic market segments. It gathers individual consumer data from over 50k participants yearly: recording and tracking both their beverage and snack consumption, where, how and with what these were purchased and consumed, relevant seasonally specific questions and discovering the combinations of food and beverage flavor combinations and customs that were organically developing outside the known market. This system allowed for continual updating of survey queries, 1 off specialty surveys and created a paradigm shift of Pepsico's market data gathering methodology.
