Berry Insights is a collective dedicated to providing our clients with actionable insights to give them a leg up against the competition. Our solutions are designed to provide a range of competitive intelligence support for companies of all growth stages.
We do not believe in mudslinging as a way to de-position competitors. This almost always backfires and you end up looking bad, whether it’s on social media or the front page of the WSJ. Instead, we embrace the notion of “elegant street fighting”. There are many ways to say, show or do something that will make the competition look inferior without calling them out by name.

Tracy and her winemaker husband Jon spend most of the year in Burgundy, France with dogs Bella and Bailey. When not in France, they live in Santa Rosa, in the heart of California wine country.
