A team united in pursuit of extraordinary innovation.

Curious minds. Smart thinkers. True global expertise.

We're constantly cooking up new and compelling ways to set your brand apart.

Sensory scientists. Researchers. Data analysts. Programmers. IT whizzes. Marketers. Brand experts. Sticklers for detail. Visionaries. They’re all here – many for over 10 years – which says it all.

Our heritage.

We were founded on the belief that successful products, those that really deliver on their brand promise, are built from the perfect blend of sensory science and consumer insight. We’ve been helping clients to achieve this, right across the globe, for over 30 years.

MMR is the place where sensory science meets exciting, powerful commercial application. From branding and innovation to product development and retail strategy – our mantra is to make your entire brand experience more memorable. More extraordinary.
