Tomato Baby is Angie Meltsner

and Angie Meltsner is Tomato Baby: an independent cultural insights and trends research studio based out of Boston, MA.

I’ve spent the past 15 years helping brands be more culturally relevant and better connect with the people they care about through strategic and thoughtful research studies (as Tomato Baby since 2022).

I’ve worked with and at top agencies, consultancies, and in-house brand and product teams to unearth and explore consumer attitudes, desires, and behaviors and, just as importantly, the cultural forces by which consumers are influenced.

What Makes Me Different

How I source information and data (diverge) and spot patterns (converge) is what sets my research practice uniquely apart.

I’m both very online (with an insane media diet) and very out in the real world (always looking, listening, noticing).

My favorite question is: can we address the challenges of our time using the same perspectives that got us here?
