Trailblazer meets trailblazer
CHALLENGE
Even the most promising new product ideas can get shelved because of uncertain market confidence and doubt about demand. Harman had a new prototype for JBL Reflect Eternal, a breakthrough solar-powered headphone concept, but didn’t know if the world was ready to pay a premium for unfamiliar tech.

STRATEGIC UNLOCK
Pixel pivoted away from traditional market research and instead chose a scrappier, more creative, startup-inspired way to test the concept directly with consumers. We went deep into iterative creative testing, targeted paid media, landing pages, earned media and even a crowdfunding campaign.
Hundreds of ad variations later, Harman was armed with exactly the insights and confidence they needed to storm ahead with investment, sales and retail decisions before scaling production.
