Company Size: $70M Market Research & Innovation Firm

Brand Focus: Global Innovation Consultancy (U.S. + Asia-Pacific)

Partner: CREWASIS.AI

Category: Market Research, Innovation Strategy & Growth

A $70M global innovation consultancy sought to expand its footprint across North America after acquiring a fast-growing Asia-Pacific brand consultancy. Their goal: unify two operating models, integrate global innovation offerings, and accelerate growth in the $62.6B market research industry.

But the teams faced a complexity wall.

North America and Asia-Pacific innovation cultures spoke fundamentally different “innovation languages”:

  • North America focused on premiumization, value delivery, and white-space innovation.

  • APAC centered on rapid iteration, localized cultural insight, and category fragmentation.

  • Global clients demanded integrated, data-backed opportunity maps — not siloed regional POVs.

Synthesizing 1.4M+ data points from social, news, and brand communications into a single unified offering required months of manual work the team didn’t have.

They needed a platform that could decode global category dynamics, pinpoint white-space, and quantify opportunity — fast.

About

The consultancy partnered with CREWASIS.AI, an agentic AI platform trained to decode massive unstructured datasets. Over 4 weeks, CREWASIS analyzed:

  • 650,000+ social & news data points for white-space discovery

  • 1 million+ data points for delivery model optimization

  • Competitor performance across the U.S., Europe, and APAC

  • High-growth industries and future category expansion areas

CREWASIS clustered emerging global and North American innovation opportunities across four key domains:

  1. White Space & Market Gaps — identifying fast-growing sectors (+9.4% CAGR) where the firm could expand.

  2. Client Identification — pinpointing high-value prospects across four high-growth verticals.

  3. Pricing Strategy — developing a 5-pillar pricing architecture aligned to market expectations.

  4. Delivery Model Optimization — mapping how staffing and workflows needed to evolve for global integration.

The platform automatically tagged category momentum, competitive intensity, consumer language shifts, and unmet market needs — giving the team an integrated view of where to play and how to win.

Each week unlocked a new strategic layer:

  • Week 1 — White Space Discovery: What unmet needs and market voids exist across global and U.S. categories?

  • Week 2 — Client Prioritization: Which industries and companies offer the highest potential for the merged consultancy?

  • Week 3 — Competitive Positioning: How does the APAC offering differentiate against U.S. players?

  • Week 4 — Pricing & Delivery Model: Where can the firm command premium pricing and increase efficiency?

Challenges

CREWASIS distilled millions of unstructured data points into a unified global innovation roadmap:

  • Identified 18+ emerging growth territories across global industries.

  • 5-pillar pricing strategy built from competitive analysis and market demand.

  • 4 priority client segments with the highest probability of conversion.

  • Enhanced staffing & delivery model based on analysis of 1M+ workflow data points.

  • Clear competitive landscape mapping, showing capability gaps and differentiation zones.

The AI platform reduced the integration and analysis timeline from 6+ months down to 4 weeks, enabling the consultancy to rapidly build a unified go-to-market story across regions.

CREWASIS also uncovered an invisible but critical insight:
North American clients prioritize scientific rigor and executive clarity, while APAC clients value speed, cultural nuance, and breadth of creative exploration.
This finding directly informed the firm’s integrated service model.

Results

This global consultancy specializes in market research, insights, and innovation strategy. With roots in North America and now expanded into Asia-Pacific, the firm integrates data science, cultural insight, and strategy to help brands identify future growth.

Before partnering with CREWASIS, teams struggled to unify methodologies and articulate a cohesive value proposition post-acquisition. Traditional research frameworks were too slow to keep pace with global market shifts.
