GIO Intelligence is a consulting firm specializing in global product and innovations analysis.  Our home is Chicago, although we are as likely to be found scouring retail stores in Tokyo, Paris or Beijing. GIO was founded over 30 years ago. Our team assesses disruptive marketing, technological breakthroughs, product introductions, new ingredients, advertising, positioning and packaging, enabling advancements to be incorporated into our client’s businesses both in the US and globally.  Many categories that we see internationally are as or more developed than those categories in the U.S. GIO Intelligence utilizes that global intelligence to help clients create innovation in a wide array of consumer categories.
