Tery Spataro Consulting provides both human-centered research and strategy to help businesses and brands create, design, improve and innovate products and services that be useful to the consumer or customer.
As a leading researcher and strategy consultant, I work with businesses to get answers about brand and product problems from customers, consumers, employees, and stakeholders. I solve for product-market fit, jobs to be done, product experience, design, usability, new product development, and innovation. I design, conduct, analyze, author reports, create data visualizations, identify actionable outcomes, and conduct ideation sessions from the findings.
My approach to research is a mixed methodology, quantitative and qualitative. Research instruments include survey, laddering interviews, stakeholder interviews, ethnography, message, and content testing, usability and product testing, and experiential video-based focused groups.
My clients include enterprises, startups, and mid-size businesses. The businesses I work with are from a wide variety of industries including consumer products and packaged goods, Banks, Financial services, Fintechs, Government, Health and Medical, Medical devices, Non-profit, Personal Care and Beauty, Pharmaceutical, Retail, and Technology.
