Whitespace Identification and Futurecasting
Unprecedented times require unprecedented thinking. We help you meet your customers where they are by uncovering hidden needs, identifying emergent behavior changes, and activating against untapped opportunities to stay a step ahead in delivering market-moving experiences.
Creating a new experience is a big investment, and understanding potential needs your brand could meet is the first step in quantifying opportunity. At Kelton, we use a custom mix of tools — contextual inquiry, observation, job shadowing, and more — to help you explore buyers’ need states and identify the most fertile opportunity areas that align with your core positioning. Looking further out, we help your team look at their market through different lenses — giving them the tools they need to pragmatically plan innovation years in advance.
