“Ultimately, it will enable our product development team to deliver their three to five-year vision for our innovation pipeline. The video insights from Vypr complement the data and analysis we’ve conducted for the report.”Chloe Wilks, Insights Partner for M&S Food

A Successful Outcome

Marks & Spencer used VyPops to support its food trends research and product development planning, resulting in accurate, high-impact videos that complemented the data and analysis conducted for the report.
