The Highlight team is excited to debut a newly reimagined and even more powerful, insightful product testing platform. In 2023, Highlight first launched our platform to revolutionize the product testing industry. This next phase of the Highlight platform’s evolution makes conducting high-quality, research-grade physical product testing faster and more efficient than ever before.
Highlight has helped hundreds of brands—including Nestlé, Estée Lauder, P&G, Target, Sakara, and Hanes—test hundreds of thousands of products. With feedback from customers like these and many more, Highlight’s software development teams have been empowered to build the platform that CPG, retail, and industries beyond need to create better products. Our customer’s invaluable feedback has been key to continuously iterating a better Highlight platform and building a product roadmap that will keep improving physical product testing for the industry.
So, what’s new in the platform? We’re so glad you asked.

With Solution Blueprints, Highlight’s new research setup and survey builder, anyone can be an IHUT (in-home usage testing) expert.
Highlight’s in-house research experts have worked hand-in-hand with our software development teams to build research methodologies that weave sensory and insights together across the development lifecycle:
The new Solution Blueprints is a library of ready-to-use, dynamic resources that accelerate research and project initiation, making it easier than ever to set up your research project accurately and efficiently without the intervention of your customer success manager or the back-and-forth of emails.
Highlight’s Audience Builder has also had a facelift. Those who work in IHUT research know that sophisticated audience and study design is often necessary. Meet your custom research needs quickly and easily with precise demographic and behavioral criteria and quotas, multiple test groups, extra tasks, randomization, and more.
