A word on our founders

Our Values
bunnycontract.png
WE ARE DIFFERENT
Our values make us unique
When we say global, we mean global

We're lucky enough to have worked in China, Singapore, The Netherlands, France, Turkey and the UK, and have a strong global experience. ECommerce is by essence borderless, so we can’t think scale if we build a product & strategy for one local market.

Always Walk the Talk

Always Walk the Talk: We’ve worked with consultants on many projects in the past, with great results. However, a recurring pain point was sometimes the lack of tangibility and follow through in the recommendations. We believe that if we develop a strategy, we need to personally see it through with a company.

If it’s your problem, it’s our problem

We build our whole business model around solving problems, and helping you achieve your deliverables. We don't just give you a plan and guidance, and send you on your way. We will be there to support and troubleshoot, post delivering our recommendations.

Don’t make proxies and assumptions, follow the data

Everything should be based on data and clear measurement, rather than assumptions and hearsay. Gut feelings are fine, but let's then test small and get the data to support or challenge.

The Top 1% for you

Our product is only as good as our talent, so we work with top 1% within their fields. We work with people who are currently in businesses, or just left businesses, and have tangible and credible experience within their field, coupled with strong process, strategic vision and analytical skills.

Performance Data and KPI measuring

All programmes need to be set up with key KPIs, and tools in place to measure results. We are a data led team, believing that decisions should stem from data. Thus, we establish solutions to allow monitoring, measurement and course correction.

OUR WORD FOR IT

SCI-MX Nutrition has been working with Lucy Freeland @Follow The Consumer since August 2018.  I cannot endorse high enough the engagement from Lucy and the team.  Specifically, on understanding the needs of our business and consumer with an extremely comprehensive initial audit.  This has directly shaped our business strategy, team structure and most importantly Lucy has focused on building the core capability of our team to ensure a sustainable delivery against our growth strategy and in turn KPIs.  The accumulation of this work has led to immediate and continuing significant double-digit volume and value growth.
