NAILBITER is replacing traditional Market Research with its Behavioral Videometrics Platform!
With headquarters in Herndon, VA and global offices in major cities, including NY, Chicago, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Dubai, and Mumbai, NAILBITER's technology platform observes and analyzes shopper and consumer behavior both in-store and online on a global scale. Ranked #12 in Top 50 most innovative companies by clients as per the 2023 GRIT report, our video is converted to brand metrics that provide a competitive advantage to Brand, Shopper, Category and Insights teams.
NAILBITER’s technology platform allows manufacturers and researchers to "see" and “hear” their consumers make product decisions in-store and online through video. The platform quantitatively codes stated, latent and emotional decisions, revealing hidden barriers to product success. The resulting consumer and shopper insights allow marketers and researchers to make immediate decisions that drive market success. NAILBITER Videometrics have been validated by leading CPG/FMCG companies such as Reckitt, Kelloggs, Mars Wrigley Confectionery, Bush Brothers and Company, Coty and others.
We are looking for a rare breed of intelligent, confident, consultative, forward-looking CPG/FMCG marketers to engage with our top clients. We offer industry-leading compensation, stock, benefits, and career progression opportunities.

It was so great to see the CS and CSA teams at the NAILBITER 2023 Annual Kickoff at NAILBITER HQ. The theme was close to my heart and a key reason we started NAILBITER; Human Connections
The industry made great strides decades back by shifting its focus from data to consumer insights. Today we are ready for the next step forward; Consumer/ Shopper Insights to Human Insights. It may sound small but thinking of consumers as humans instead of respondents allows us to make better decisions and products on their behalf.
Also, working with talented, fun and nice people is a core NAILBITER value. Hence Human Connections was an ideal theme!
During our week, not only did we spend a lot of time bonding and building relationships in fun and engaging ways, we also discussed ideas on bridging human connections with our work and making a positive impact in our industry!
In the spirit of human connections, instead of me writing any more details, watch this video!

Coming up on Friday November 19 is our new webinar with the Category Management Association.
As shopper behaviors and preferences are changing more frequently than ever before, flexibility in your insights is no longer a 'nice to have' but a necessity. As a result, shopper insights teams must prepare for changes that may not even be on their radar yet and be ready to act as soon as new learnings are uncovered, both understanding the present while simultaneously preparing for the future. Please join Yelena Idelchik, Associate Director, Category & Shopper Insights at Reckitt and Gram Bowsher, Executive Vice President, NAILBITER, as they explore how Reckitt has begun to "Build their Reality" with always-on, behavioral insights uncovered through NAILBITER's Videometrics Platform.

If you’re going to Nashville for TMRE, November 15-17, 2021, we have a couple of exciting updates for you.
Together with Sobia Bashir, the Global Innovation and Design Insights Lead at Mondelez International, NAILBITER’s CEO Amishi Takalkar will be presenting on stage on Monday November 15 2021 at 3.50pm.
Mondelez International partnered with NAILBITER to pioneer a ground-breaking agile approach to traditional pack testing. Supporter of an agile, in-the-moment mindset, the partnership helped uncover how testing in context can help unveil new growth opportunities for brands as it did for the gum category for Mondelez Colombia.
This session will highlight why shopping behavior in a dynamic, COVID retail environment requires new research techniques beyond the traditional, and how Augmented Reality (AR) captured behavioral insights that might not have been as illuminating through traditional shelf testing or other video based approaches. AR allows consumers to place a 3D image of new products on shelf next to real category competitors for the most natural testing environment and capture of Shopper reactions.
You will walk away inspired to make a case for AR in your organization, with a clear understanding for how the Colombian team was able to quickly and easily act on results, and see & hear why AR is the future of innovation testing.
Throughout all days of TMRE, you will be able to find the NAILBITER team at booth #426 in case you're interested in our Behavioral Videometrics Platform and want to experience our Augmented Reality applications yourself.

Johan will be based in Amsterdam and will take charge of our Client Services globally with a specific focus on opening new offices across Europe, Asia, and LATAM. While we’ve operated globally since 2015, Johan’s addition will put Client Services feet on the ground in most major markets.
I am pleased to announce the latest development at NAILBITER! As of early 2021, NAILBITER has expanded to Europe starting with the UK in a series of Global Expansion slated for 2021 / 22. While we have been executing work globally since 2015 leveraging our US and India teams, this expansion indicates our continued commitment to growing the adoption of Videometrics by our clients globally and bringing quantitative, observational data and metrics to the insights community everywhere.

Proud to share that CIOReview has recognized NAILBITER as one of the Top 10 Most Promising CPG Solution Providers in 2020. "In the last 20 years, CPG research seems to have fallen behind in leveraging the data revolution. It wasn’t because there wasn’t enough data, but rather too much data with very little insight. That’s where I believe [NAILBITER] is making a change, using behavioral data to give CPG manufacturers better insights into their product and branding.” Be sure to check out the August issue, featuring a cover story with NAILBITER's Co-Founder and CEO Amishi Takalkar.
It's our inaugural year on the GreenBook GRIT 'Top 50 Most Innovative Suppliers' list, so we decided to ask a few of our client partners what makes us innovative...here’s what they shared
Check out NAILBITER's SVP of Client Services, Jocelyn Simon, on "Ponderings from the Perch", the podcast from Priscilla McKinney and Little Bird Marketing. In this engaging conversation, you'll hear topics covered such as why Videometrics are critical for the evolving CPG and Retail landscape, why new product launches need more than just sales data to determine success, and Jocelyn's pet peeve around the word "actionability".
Is D2C the next shift in the disrupted CPG retail landscape.If you're a big, medium or small-sized CPG manufacturer who's exploring a D2C launch, NAILBITER can help you with behavioral data to understand what shoppers are seeking from the online grocery experience.
NAILBITER's co-founder, Amit, weighs in on how the Coronavirus will impact CPG. Spoiler alert...it won't. Read on to know why CPG is always strong to bounce back in the face of crisis.
As the Super Bowl advertising fades, the big brands and new products that grabbed attention using that ad platform are left to fight it out in a crowded CPG marketplace. They may have spent up to a reported $5.6 million for a :30s Super Bowl ad spot, but now they need to be Noticed in-store and deliver an at-shelf message that gets them into shoppers' carts.
The third season of The Masked Singer wasn't the only video footage to follow the Superbowl. We used NAILBITER's videometric platform to capture our own big reveal... when shoppers headed to the store after the big game.
Some shoppers made clear connections from the Super Bowl ads to the products they found in-store. Others went looking, but had trouble finding advertised products. Watch these NAILBITER videos for a taste of how it all happens in-store.
Wondering what's happening in the aisle in your categories? Follow us on LinkedIn and let us help you uncover real shopper behavior with NAILBITER videometrics.
Ditching claimed metrics and observing real behavior could revolutionize shopper insight, so why do only 1/3 of firms do it? We look at the barriers which have stopped behavioral research from scaling, and the new tools which might break through and let it fulfill its huge potential.
As the calendar year begins to wrap up, the final conferences and events for the year are right around the corner. The NAILBITER Team is excited to be attending and speaking at several conferences to round out the year. Below is a calendar of events where the NAILBITER Team will be in attendance as well as any presentations we will be giving.
With the Super Bowl over, the conversation now switches to the commercials. But, what if I told you that by focusing on just the commercials, you’re missing a big piece of the Super Bowl marketing blitz?
