"Marco Polo USA, with Marco Marsan at the helm is a great collaborative partner in discovering and explaining innovation concepts that will work in the market . Marco led several Best-in-class Innovation sessions and workshops for me that resulted in truly different ideas that were test ready. He understands your business upfront and brings great stimulus to help the team think about new ideas. Then he helps bringing these ideas to life in a clear and concise articulation. MArco is a bright and energetic guy that really does "create ideas that ship"

"Marco Polo Explorers' process helps bring out the creativity within our team. We've launched several products over the past few years that would not have happened without it."
Tom Smallhorn, VP Marketing, SoBe Beverages

"During the past two years we have commercialized and launched two product concept that Marco Polo helped us develop and we have a third planned for launch next year. In enlisting the support that firms like Marco's provide, it is essential that the results are actionable. There are many groups out there that specialize in helping marketers develop new ideas and "out-of-the-box" thinking, but precious few ultimately deliver grounded, consumer-tested and actionable concepts. Marco Polo is one of those few."
