Bovitz

What Bovitz does

Bovitz is a design-driven research and strategy firm founded in 2003 and headquartered in Encino, California, that serves large enterprise clients across retail, food and beverage, consumer products, technology, and healthcare. The firm operates under a unified Bovitz<>Boombox brand, where Bovitz provides behavioral-science-based insights, brand strategy, and innovation consulting, while Boombox delivers the downstream creative, experiential, social media, and campaign activation work. This integrated model is designed to translate human-centered research directly into marketing execution within a single engagement rather than across separate agency vendors.

The firm's core methodology centers on behavioral science and qualitative human-insights work — uncovering how consumers feel, what they love, what they fear, and how those emotional and behavioral drivers translate into business decisions. Bovitz does not operate proprietary software or technology platforms; its deliverables are strategy artifacts, brand positioning frameworks, and activation campaigns. Documented outputs include urban retail format strategy (Target), beverage launch positioning (Dunkin' Cold Brew), product repositioning (Post-it Plus app), experiential launch campaigns (Oatly non-dairy ice cream), engagement optimization (Instacart), and growth strategy in medical devices (Inspire Medical Systems, where Bovitz-supported strategy coincided with revenue scaling from approximately $100MM to $800MM over four years).

Bovitz generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements under a quote-based B2B model typical of strategy agencies. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting brand leadership, marketing executives, and C-suite stakeholders at major organizations. The firm holds 11-50 employees and has historically pursued inorganic capability expansion, notably through its 2012 acquisition of Resolve Market Research. Greg Bovitz is identified as the founder.
