Head of Category Insights & Customer Marketing

Mademoiselle Desserts needed concepts that would not just look good on paper, but actually sell. In a crowded dessert category, the team had little room for guesswork.

Before Tastewise, identifying and validating trends meant manual research, internal debates, and slower timelines. By the time a concept was ready, the opportunity could already be moving.

Using Tastewise, the team worked directly from real consumer demand signals across recipes, menus, and food conversations. Instead of chasing trends, they focused on where demand was already building, and turned those signals into products and selling stories that customers could quickly understand.

Challenges

Mademoiselle Desserts needed to move faster and smarter in a competitive dessert category.

  • Trend discovery was slow. Manual research made it difficult to quickly identify which trends were worth acting on.
  • Concept validation lacked clear proof. Teams needed stronger evidence to prioritize ideas and avoid wasted effort.
  • Customer storytelling needed to improve. Commercial teams required simple, convincing narratives to support new product launches.
  • Timelines were tight. Faster decisions were needed without compromising confidence in the outcome.
