“Her ultimate goal is to ensure that the biggest leaps happen”
Shine Scout is a brand consultancy that analyzes the science of human desire to inspire the art of bold innovation. We work with CMOs and change makers to bring to life new stories, new brands and new products. Our formula is simple:
We believe in a future full of the greatest possible success for our clients. Some great companies we have helped along the way include:
When Asics was ready to relaunch its super cool Onitsuka Tigers sneaker brand in the US, they knew they needed to be schooled in cool. Looking to preserve the inside cred of the cult brand, they wanted a primer in those people and places that could make the shoes an underground – and overnight – sensation. Shine Scout culled a group of key influencers, and staged cultural spelunking events for the team’s designers to create a truly immersive learning experience. The shoes have gone on to cult status.
As the old hierarchy of family shifts and changes, Coca-Cola wanted to better understand the future of family. Were the millennials breaking the paradigm of intra-familial relationships? Was the age old patterns of connectivity forever changed by technology? We set out on a global mission to understand the future of family around the world, and to identify key connection points that mattered. Our study showed that love does conquer all, and that family matters even more today. In a series of cohort reports, we brought to live the magic moments that ‘happen in the hallways’ and encouraged dozens of global managers to find ways to support tomorrow’s families today.
America’s largest home improvement chain was under siege due to a fast changing category dominated by big box stores, and a growing lack of brand relevance. Working with stakeholders and retail leaders, we co-engineered a new future for this iconic company. Digging deep into the emerging consumer zietgiest, we developed new house products, found national partners that elevated relevance, and redesigned over 3,000 stores to invite consumers to be inspired and energized. Isolating the core Ace difference – brand intelligence and education – we turned this retail offering into a place where dreams come true, one customer at a time.
KMS, once the darling of the high end stylist, this California born styling brand had stumbled during a series of packaging changes that left them feeling mass and basic. KMS was determined to win back this fickle crowd, but first wanted to deeply understand what inspired and engaged the star stylist, and where they found that inspiration. Through a series of collaborative and wide ranging inspiration summits, Shine Scout unpacked the immediate and long term needs of the salon stylist, and in turn, helped create a compelling, and highly successful new brand launch as well as an inspiration platform to feed the stylist for seasons to come.
