Your strategy deck is already stale.
The Desk connects brands and agencies to vetted human tastemakers — the people your consumer research is trying to describe. Real conversations, moderated panels, embedded advisors. Concierge-run, end to end.
Fixed products. Human delivery.
Trend Consult
$400/hr
1-hour expert call with one tastemaker
One tastemaker, one hour, your questions. The fastest way to pressure-test a campaign, a product name, or a hunch.
Tastemaker Panel
from $3,500
3–5 tastemakers, 90 minutes, moderated, with synthesis memo
A moderated panel of 3–5 tastemakers plus a written synthesis memo. Focus group energy, minus the two-way mirror.
Embedded Advisor
from $2,500/mo
Monthly retainer, dedicated tastemaker(s)
A dedicated tastemaker (or two) on retainer for your team. A standing line to what's actually happening.
Pulse Sprint
$5,000
1-week custom question → 10 tastemaker responses + synthesis
One custom question, ten tastemakers, one week, one synthesis. When you need signal, not a deck.
contains: real people, moderated · side effects: signal a CMO will sit through
White-glove, every time.
- Intake — the form on this page. Two minutes.
- Concierge call within 1 business day — a person, to sharpen the question.
- Curated slate of 3 tastemakers within 48 hours — matched to your category and question.
- We run everything — contracts, NDAs, scheduling, payment, moderation, and the synthesis memo.
Why concierge? Because the synthesis, curation, and contracting is the product — not just access. You get signal you can put in front of a CMO, without running a research op.
Every tastemaker is rubric-vetted and re-certified quarterly. Human, never AI — if you want a model's opinion, you already pay for one.
