Mission

To support companies in food and non-food sectors (cosmetics, perfume, hygiene, beauty, personal care) in the innovation strategy through consumer studies to validate the performance of existing products and the potential of those of the future.

Motto

Consopôle Institut is an independent firm specialised in Sensory Expertise and Marketing Studies.
Since its creation in 2003, Consopôle Institut has become a signature reference for over 400 brands together with their Marketing, R&D and Quality teams.

“Innovation Culture!”

More than just a slogan, our new tagline mirrors our very raison d’être. Here at Consopôle Institut, we plant the seeds of innovation so that our clients can set themselves apart and keep ahead of the game.

Founders

Consopôle Institut was founded in 2003 by Stéphane Morel, Doctor of Applied Social Sciences, specialised in Consumer Goods Marketing, and Frédéric Vey, Doctor of Food Science.

A team of experts

In our institute, we operate a multiperspective approach to “Product reality” through an array of different skill sets (doctors of science, agri-food engineers, statisticians), reflecting different visions and insights.

“Our multidisciplinary team constitutes a fundamental component of our brand’s DNA.”

Our unique expertise finds its expression in the successive product development or optimisation stages, culminating in the validation of the marketing mix.
