I’m Angie Meltsner
founder of Tomato Baby

Researching culture, trends, and innovation to help brands understand how to be more relevant.

People don’t form opinions or make decisions in a vacuum. Our apporach to research goes beyond traditional consumer insight: it looks within and outside the category, shining a light on the cultural currents shaping our lives and the emerging realities defining the future…
and tells you why you should care.

Angie is one of my favorite people to work with. She’s sharp, tuned in, and makes working together easy.

Angie is incredible to work with: smart, efficient, collaborative and determined.

Angie’s not only a wonderful thought partner, but she’s also highly responsive and patient, and her reports are clear, visually cohesive, and strategic.

Angie is that rare mix of deeply creative thinker and consummate professional.
