Illicit & counterfeit
Developing effective strategies to deter counterfeit purchases.
Our expertise involves understanding the intricate transportation networks used by counterfeiters and the evolving tactics employed to evade detection. Using open-source intelligence gathering, and ethnographic studies we uncover the extent and nature of counterfeiting across various industries, including Tobacco, Pharmaceutical, luxury goods and electronics. By leveraging these insights, we help organisations better protect their brands and consumers from the economic and safety risks posed by counterfeit products.
