Every call gets logged with a date, so the scoreboard is honest. Here are recent ones that went from signal to shelf, and how long each took.

Called in March, on shelves by fall across three brands, from heart-shaped cast iron to premium ceramic.

Spotting a trend is the easy part. The harder part is the match: which of our brands should own it, which shopper it actually serves, and which retail partner it belongs with.
CALLED, THEN BUILT
A trend only works if it fits the brand. We match each one to the brand it genuinely belongs to.
We read who is actually shopping the trend, not just how loud it is.
Concepts land with the retail partner whose aisle, and whose shopper, they were made for.
About 58% of U.S. shoppers buy after seeing a product on social, and social commerce now tops $120B a year. Trends move at feed speed, and Crystal Ball is how we see them first.
