Sparks
Light A Fire

Sparks® is our innovation and ideation process fueled by over 500 smart, creative consumers. Women, men, teens and 'tweens who love to think outside the box - way outside the box - and they are standing by to jumpstart your thinking! A Sparks® session is a high-energy ideation experience that goes well beyond the traditional focus group. Clients love Sparks® because they get to brainstorm along with the panelists.

Sparks® is ideal for new product and concept brainstorming, packaging, product naming, promotions and positioning development.

A Sparks® session is highly customized to the client's needs. It can be three hours or three days. It can take place anywhere in any city. Our panelists are highly-engaged, well-educated and involved in the world around them. They see things differently, and that makes all the difference.

We've worked with Murphy Marketing Research/TRENDTOWN for years and have used them for a variety of topics. Their Sparks® program was relatively new to us but the perfect fit for a new program that was in development. I was a little nervous to think that 12 people could provide as much insight as they did, but it was fabulous. They were able to go beyond what a traditional focus group would find, particularly from a new-product perspective. We complemented the SPARKS® group with a traditional focus group and couldn't have been more pleased with the results. They were instrumental in our launch. We will definitely use SPARKS® again and would highly recommend it!

The Sparks® group was like taking all of the best participants from ten years worth of focus groups and putting them together in one group. The learning was amazing!

I have reached out to Murphy Marketing Research Sparks® team on a number of occasions to help my Marketing department, and I have always been so impressed with the results. They have helped us identify new-product opportunities, as well as optimize how we talk about a product. Each and every time, they manage to raise the bar for success. The caliber of the panel and their training is outstanding. Murphy Marketing Research/TRENDTOWN has elevated the standard well beyond the traditional focus group participant.
