Meet the founder: Marlene Straszewki
“More often, it is how narrowly your category has been defined and how long everyone has accepted that definition as fixed.”
Marlene Straszewki, CEO, North America
Harvest Insights Group distinguishes itself by moving beyond traditional data collection to offer analytically defensible storytelling. While many agencies focus on either broad trends or specific metrics, Marlene and her team specialize in closing the gap between functional product attributes and deep consumer emotional connection. Their triangulation of psychology, data science, and ethnographic research ensures insights are highly actionable for CPG brands looking to redefine their categories.
