CCI Strategy Lab works with small-to-mid-size B2C and e-commerce companies at an inflection point — where to grow, what to build, how to compete differently. The customer and market understanding to make those decisions isn’t there yet. That’s where the work starts.

The Questions
These are some of the business questions clients bring to CCI Strategy Lab. Each one includes a case study from direct experience.
-
Growth has plateaued, not sure what’s next
We’ve built a strong business on what we have today, but we know it won’t get us to our next target, and we’re not sure what will.
-
More to build, but not sure what
Our current products have taken us as far as they can. We need to figure out what to add, what to evolve, and what to leave behind.
-
Brand matters, not sure what it should stand for
We need to know what our brand can credibly stand for, what matters to customers, and where there’s room to own something meaningful.
-
We know our customers, not what makes them act
We can describe our customers but we cannot predict when or why they will be ready to act. Without that understanding, we are showing up at the wrong time, or not at all.
-
Losing ground, and unclear why
We’re losing customers, or not winning the ones we should be, and we need to understand what’s driving it.
-
We have some of the pieces, but not the full picture
We have some data but it’s not adding up to a picture we can act on.
