How testing

in the wild

works.

We bring conjoint analysis and creative execution together. 
Our matrix-based framework acts like a visual conjoint, breaking each idea into its component parts — claims, messages, tones, images, packaging, etc. — then recombines them into structured experiments. That gives us not only the optimal combination, but a hierarchy of drivers, isolating which variables truly move behavior, independent of styling or audience bias.

"The team will be thrilled by the results, they're pretty intuitive. This project was a win!"

NEXXUS Global Consumer & Market Insight Lead

"This is good to see and helps us focus our claims. We can be thoughtful with the messages that land. It's awesome. Really good results."

Shea Moisture Head of Innovation

"We're always very curious and always looking for new Orchard learnings. And the team applies them right away!"

Arm & Hammer Laundry Sr Director of Marketing

"Honestly, I don't know if Orchard has a direct competitor. While there are certainly alternatives, in terms of the methodology, Orchard uses, it is truly unique. I don't know have another supplier that does the same thing that does."

Kimberly Clark Insights Director

"In defining our big bet, hook and storyboard, product naming, and visual identity for our new hair care proposition, the Orchard platform allowed us to make quick and cost effective decisions based on real consumer behavior"

Head and Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Pantene Analytics Director

"Traditional learning methods are way too slow and consumer testing outside the real work is only directional - we've had too many situations where it's given us false positives/false negatives. Orchard solves that through real-world testing with incredibly fast turnarounds."

Clorox Marketing Director

"The outcome of our Orchard testing will literally inform what innovation products we move forward with in an executive meeting the very next day."

Clorox Innovation Director

"Our ultimate goal is to move Orchard testing scale from narrowly focused on marketing questions to answering and informing business strategy - this tool became a much more significant tool with the total BU."

Burt's Bees Marketing Director

"Orchard's real-world testing helped us identify how to maximize reach and conversion. This set the basis to win for the initiative, as well as enabled us to adapt our Brand's social media strategy"
