Who it’s for

Premium brands that out-grew their product process.

You’re a mid-market consumer hardgoods brand — home, kitchen, outdoor, sporting, or premium durables. The product is excellent. But the SKU count crept up, margin is leaking, pricing hasn’t kept pace, and the roadmap is a wish-list. You don’t need a full-time VP yet. You need senior firepower on a defined problem — fast, and measured.

The work

Three focused sprints. One quantified outcome each.

01Flagship

Margin Recovery

~6 weeks

SKU-level teardown, make-vs-buy, cost engineering, pricing repositioning, and rationalization — the exact sequence that moved a sub-segment from 8% to 38%.

You leave with: a costed margin & pricing action plan, $ upside quantified.
02

The Roadmap Sprint

~6 weeks

White-space and competitive analysis, SKU rationalization, and a defensible multi-year platform roadmap built on real consumer insight and new-product vitality.

You leave with: a prioritized roadmap your team can execute.
03

Win the Shelf

~4–5 weeks

Premium positioning, packaging hierarchy, and channel-specific sell-in stories that win space and improve sell-through with national retail and distribution.

You leave with: a positioning platform & retail-ready sell-in kit.
