WE ARE

About COR

Traditional strategy firms engage retail and fashion clients by deploying consultants who provide insights primarily informed by their personal experiences as consumers, and by limited data or textbook learning. This is where we differ. Colour of Retail Strategy House delivers retail-informed strategy, panoramic ground intelligence, and synthesized management insights gleaned from the expertise and fashion retail tenure of our COR team. We know the industry from the inside out. Of equal value, COR insights amplify the voices and experiences of a colourful workforce through its portfolio of retail leaders and its founder, all persons of Colour. We advise and orchestrate your next steps in product development, brand strategy, go-to-market strategy, vendor relations, selling ceremony, customer experience, change management, culture editing, and leadership advisement. Our founder thoughtfully curated our service offerings by shaping them around the unique circumstances of the retail industry, drawing from her extensive time within it. Under her leadership, Colour of Retail taps into and develops insights sharpened by fellow retail experts, trend-stabilizing retail customers, and customer-facing professionals.

Additionally, the comprehensive guidance on industry terminology felt like an intensive crash course, leaving me well-prepared to launch.
