Categories aren't about brands COMPETING for one consumer ... they are about an ecosystem of different brands CONTRIBUTING unique value for different people. Recent fast food headlines are reminding us of this: 🍔 🍔 🍔 On one hand, fast food brands like Mcdonalds and Taco Bell are cutting back because ‘value” meals now cost double what they used to and same store sales are being hit 🌯 🌯 🌯 On the other hand, revenues are rising at fast casual restaurants like Chipotle and Sweetgreen, reflecting strong demand as those brands take on price increases. 💸 💸 💸 💸 💸 💸 💸 💸 💸 💸 Despite different audiences and different category corners, here is what I find interesting: as traditional fast food prices get closer to fast casual prices that erodes fast food's proposition (affordability) and makes fast casual's proposition (fast + fresh + quality) even more attractive. A similarly high priced burger and chipotle bowl will inevitably make people 1) flee for alts and/or 2) start looking at the burger as a bad deal vs the bowl. Brands, be aware of your category corner and how far you stray from it! #brands #strategy #food #marketing #mcdonalds #chipotle #subway https://lnkd.in/gTd9jf-T

When walking down the aisle of Whole Foods Market, does anyone think to themselves as they buy a product "Buying this product will result in a velocity turn for the brand". Sometimes when I buy single serve beverages that are on sale, I will load up 5-10 into my cart and then think of the data behind my purchasing decision. OR am I just a nerd?

#Inspirationsharing Remember when grabbing a soda meant going big or going home? PepsiCo's latest move flips this notion on its head. With their new campaign featuring Shaquille O'Neal, they're making a statement: small is the new big. The "I Wish" campaign isn't just catchy; it's a sign of the times. It's no secret that we're becoming more health-conscious as a society. Obesity, a long-standing issue, is getting the attention it deserves. PepsiCo's decision to promote smaller cans is a nod to this shift. It's a way of saying, "We hear you, and we're with you." By offering smaller portions, they're helping consumers make healthier choices without giving up their favorite drinks. So, this isn't just about smaller cans. It's about a major player in the FMCG sector acknowledging the need for change, making a clever blend of forward-thinking and savvy marketing. Todd Kaplan and PepsiCo Team, you are doing it right! #Creativity #Innovation #SmallIsBig #HealthyChoice #PepsiCoInnovation
