GO WHERE THE BREAKTHROUGHS ARE HAPPENING WITH AN INSIGHT IMMERSION
BYPASS THE BIAS
We take your team beyond its own industry to see how others solve similar challenges.
Stepping outside your category breaks old assumptions and exposes the blind spots everyone in it shares.
HARVEST THE EXPERTISE
Your team gets out of the office to learn from passionate experts and see how they work.
​
Their hard-won know-how, shared face to face, gives your team ideas no report or search can offer.
DESIGN THE DISRUPTION
We bridge the gap between newfound inspiration and the commercial reality your team works in.
Together we turn fresh perspectives into actionable strategy and real opportunities for innovation.
THE INSIGHT IMMERSION ARCHITECTURE
THE INVESTIGATION
Now Plus One mines cultural intelligence across unexpected categories to illuminate hidden potential. By scouting the latest lifestyle signals and brand movements, we pinpoint fresh growth paths that simply don't show up in traditional research. We then translate this intel into a bespoke itinerary and workbook, priming your team to scout for "aha moments" in the world as it is actually lived.
THE EXPERIENCE
We take your team on a 1-to-3-day multi-sensory trek
through the "curious corners" of the marketplace to see
trends in the wild. You’ll shatter industry defaults by interacting with unconventional experts, like deconstructing the concept of trust with a neuroscientist, or discussing safety with the NYC Fire Department. This is about replacing stale data with a visceral pulse on human behavior that no deck can capture.
THE IDEATION
The journey concludes with an "Insight Download" to synthesize our collective field inspiration into concrete business opportunities. Through creative workshops like LEGO® Serious Play®, we help your team prototype and visualize new strategic directions. This final leap bridges the gap between raw inspiration and your bottom line, turning collective discovery into a tangible roadmap for what’s next.
THE CHALLENGES
WE HELP SOLVE
Most innovation workshops happen in a conference room. Ours take your team out of the office to learn from passionate experts, then turn what they see into actionable strategy.
YOUR INNOVATION PIPELINE
NEEDS BOLDER IDEAS
Research keeps telling you what you already know. We find the parallel categories where your next big idea is already taking shape, so your team sees it before your competitors do.
Newell Brands: parkour, virtual reality gaming and 3D body scanning brought play and escapism to life for the Sharpie Brand team.
YOU KNOW THE DATA,
NOT THE PEOPLE
Dashboards show what consumers do, but rarely why they do it. We put your team face to face with the people and places that explain the real behavior behind your numbers.

YOUR CATEGORY IS

​
Coca-Cola: cryotherapy clinics, cannabis dispensaries and EV labs reframed trust and safety for the Scientific & Regulatory Affairs team.
YOUR LEADERS NEED
THE BIGGER PICTURE
A new strategy needs leaders who look beyond their own industry. We give them shared experiences that keep the strategy alive long after they’re back at their desks.
