Nourish the Thought is your consumer voice and interaction with the foodservice world! You have the opportunity to share your insights, beliefs, experience and trends – and have an impact on the services & brands you interact with.
The information you share will be utilized to influence and enhance your overall experience in the foodservice & retail worlds. We will use your input as a social guidepost to steer our future client initiatives. Our desire is to listen to the direct pulse of the consumer.
Your 5 Senses/Our 5 Cents: We will post weekly stimulus via a question, idea, picture or link on our blog to begin the conversation. Bloggers are encouraged to use their “5 senses” to add color to the stimulus and provide dialogue. We will explore this dialogue and post back our “5 cents worth” on the topic.
Food IQ is a dynamic, creative, synergistic culinary/insights group that focuses on the consumer and strategically translates this across the whole client food terrain. We strategically blend insights & culinary, with a consumer back perspective.
