"Amy did a remarkable job setting up and executing two fragrance central location tests under extremely tight timelines. Not only was she flexible with the constantly changing deadlines, but she carried out the hundreds of details flawlessly. She provided a comprehensive service package with outstanding attention to detail. Additionally, she was extremely accessible and reliable, always immediately responding to any questions or concerns. Furthermore, the report package that Trendincite LLC puts together is excellent. Due to Amy’s past experience in the fine fragrance industry, she can provide exceptional insights and a true understanding of what the consumer likes/dislikes. As a result of my positive experience with Trendincite LLC, I highly recommend their work, and I will continue to request their services for future fragrance testing."

“I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the sensory fragrance & flavor trend excursion that Trendincite and WFFC organized on June 3rd, 2008. A lot of my job depends on creatively putting flavors together and sources of inspiration are hard to find. Trendincite really energized me and gave me some very good insights for creative flavor combos. Thanks again.”

“The Takasago flavors marketing team had the distinct pleasure of hiring Amy Marks-McGee and her company Trendincite LLC, to help pull together an attention-grabbing and interactive virtual tour presentation for one of our largest clients. Prior to client day, the Takasago flavors marketing team went on a tour of a number of cutting-edge businesses in NYC, specifically chosen by Amy to support the trends we were planning to present to our client. Ultimately, the virtual tour we took AND the client presentation we prepared, were hugely successful because of the creative input from Amy and Trendincite LLC. We would gladly work with her again and recommend Amy and Trendincite LLC to any client in need of creative, insightful ideas.”

"Amy, I would like to thank you for designing a seamless trend excursion for Symrise and our client on September 25, 2007. We found the stores and presentations from the storeowners to be very insightful. The trends you pointed out were exactly what our client was seeking, which they will focus on for their 2009 – 2010 new product line. Considering the client achieved actionable ideas, I believe our trend excursion together was a success.This was the best trend excursion and most relevant hands on approach to trend spotting I have experienced."
