Today, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of our new book, The Consumer Insights Revolution: Transforming Market Research for Competitive Advantage. Co-authored by Zappi’s Steve Phillips and Ryan Barry, along with PepsiCo’s Stephan Gans and Kate Schardt, this groundbreaking book promises to reshape the landscape of consumer insights and market research.

But that's not all – we're equally excited to unveil the official cover artwork, meticulously chosen by consumers! That's right. We love consumer insights so much we leveraged them to pick our book cover.

As dedicated professionals deeply committed to understanding consumers, it was essential for us that our book reflected this unwavering passion. Using Zappi’s own solution, Screen It, we tested five original cover designs with 300 consumers in the UK and the US. Their feedback helped us select and optimize the winning design, ensuring it truly resonates with our audience.

Results from running a Screen it on the book covers. 49% of the audience chose the winning cover as their favorit.
