| Informal discussions with individual experts/frontline insiders, who are selected for their diverse perspectives and for their high level of category/industry engagement. In many instances, clients have continued to work with the experts independently as projects evolve. In New York, we frequently conduct the interviews at the Zandl Rivington Loft, an informal, relaxed setting that encourages easy participation in the discussions by both clients and experts. In other cities, the interviews are conducted in hotel suites or other locations conducive to the creative flow of information. Our network includes cultural observers and insiders/experts with diverse backgrounds and expertise - ranging from influential sub-cultures to mainstream tastemakers. |  |
