Our Approach

Growing Pains? We get it! We're here to help.

As a Leader, you're always looking forward. You know sustainable growth requires continuous reassessment…and “what got me here won’t get me there.”

  • While you may see or sense an innovation or growth opportunity, your team may be lean, maxed out, or even lack the data needed to build a strong case.
  • On the opposite end, you may have too many new ideas, or data overload and need a framework to organize/prioritize

When something's NOT working on your business, it can be hard to diagnose, reset and move forward. While problems tend to show up clearly, the solutions can be more elusive.

When moving fast, it can be hard to seeing the forest for the trees.
That's where we come in.
We Partner with Brand Leaders, Using Insight to Unlock the Growth Opportunities and Create the Roadmap to seize them.

We're Curious and Collaborative.  We know you're the expert on your business, so we bring an appetite to harness that expertise, integrating what you've learned along the way and hearing all voices and perspectives. We blend analytics, creativity, and a Challenger mindset to help overturn or reframe barriers, gain momentum, and drive alignment.

Our Passion

We are passionate about Wellness, which we see as a ubiquitous, permanent, yet ever evolving market demand surrounding today’s product, service and lifestyle categories. Harnessing our experience in food, beverage, beauty & emerging categories, we leverage these macro trends to help your brand establish a future-proof position in the wellness landscape and in consumers’ lives.

Brand Experience

"Our team was challenged to evaluate a new market opportunity and build a brand from the ground up. Given limited resources, time, and expertise, EMC Strategy, LLC stepped in to provide needed support. Elizabeth isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions, and her work resulted in a deeper understanding of the new market, and rich consumer insights, which she led the team to parlay into a differentiated brand positioning. The analysis helped confirm our decision to enter this new market and created the foundation for a new brand and product line to be launched later this year. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Elizabeth’s help! On top of these results and impact, Elizabeth is a pleasure to work with — I can’t recommend her highly enough."
