WATERSMOLITOR: has morphed from a promotion agency into a marketing consulting firm called WomanWise. The Minneapolis-based shop, led by CEO Dori Molitor, conducts ethnographic studies, consumer panels, “shop-alongs” and focus-group research via “Girlfriend Groups” in women’s homes or at the agency’s office. The agency keeps the 15-member staff of WatersMolitor; clients are Schwan’s Food Co., Lifetouch Portraits, Sargento, Serta International and Old Home Foods. A recent project for Schwan’s helped the food marketer rebrand its Pagoda brand frozen appetizers as Asian Sensations targeting teens as well as moms after WomanWise research showed teens’ influence on food purchases.
