Market analysis

Competitive analysis

Our experts carry out targeted research on your direct and indirect competition. We do an analysis to verify several key variables such as positioning, strategies or notoriety of competitors according to your needs. By having a better knowledge of the state of competition in a market, companies will be able to better position themselves in a targeted sector as well as meet the needs of their customers.

Designing a value proposal

A value proposition is a statement that clearly and compellingly describes how your business is meeting customer needs. Concretely, it makes sure to match the real needs of your customers and your offer of goods and services. Through a dynamic workshop in a co-creation formula, our experts will accompany you in the design and development of this proposal.
