From Keto to Paleo, the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of healthy living among a wider set of consumers. Aligned with this greater awareness of 'healthfulness', the interest in so-called Clean Label foods has grown. But how do consumers' perceptions of the Clean Label concept vary between countries and regions? And how can Clean Label food brands make sure their marketing is developed with each local market target group in mind? https://lnkd.in/dbQxy9GB Our latest case study shows how we used social media analytics tool Talkwalker to glean local market insights to help our FMCG client position their clean label brands in Brazil, Germany, France and the UK. #SocialIntelligence #SocialListening #ConsumerResearch #Brazil #ConsumerInsights

I love the protein bar category. We've seen significant consolidation over the past few years, but it's still as competitive as ever (see the timeline below). While we often talk about the challenges of going up against the big players, the data tells a different story. Shout out to the privately-owned protein bar brands, Robert Irvine, Barebells, IQBAR, Clio Snacks, Power Crunch, GoMacro who continue to grow the category and drive innovation. Also kudos to the financial wizards Bain Capital and 1440 Foods Lets go! 🔥 It's been a challenging time for Mondelēz International , Mars and Kellogg Company Below is a quick timeline for the sake of posterity. Also I took the liberty to add Mars as the owner of RXBAR and Special K due to the Mars purchase of Kellenova (please be easy on me on in the comments) October 2017: RxBar acquired by Kellogg’s for $600 million. July 2019: Perfect Bar acquired by Mondelez International for $340 million. August 2019: Quest Nutrition acquired by Simply Good Foods Co. for $1 billion. November 2020: Kind Bar fully acquired by Mars, Inc. for an estimated $5 billion. August 2022: Clif Bar acquired by Mondelez International for $2.9 billion. August 2024: Kellanova (Kellogg's Snack Division) acquired by Mars, Inc. for an estimated $36 billion. #SnackWars #ProteinPowerPlays #BarFight #SnackAttack #BigSnackEnergy

🚨 News Flash🚨 You can't expect results without putting in the work! Look at what’s happening with Nestlé – sales have slowed so much that they're shuffling leadership and looking to sell off "non-core" businesses. But here's the real kicker buried in the news: "...After pulling back on innovation, Nestlé has stepped up spending on its core portfolio and launched new products aimed at consumer trends..." Of course sales slowed – you stopped innovating! In the CPG world, if you're not innovating, you're dying. Just look at these failures: 📷 Kodak and 📼 Blockbuster – they didn't adapt and were left behind. 📟 BlackBerry learned this lesson the hard way too, losing their market dominance because they ignored the touch-screen trend. 🥣 Even Quaker Oats, a food industry giant, couldn't succeed when they failed to understand their acquisition of Snapple. Put it this way, someone is "eating" Nestle's lunch in some of these categories. If the biggest names in business can fall, so can anyone. Innovation isn’t optional – it’s survival. #CPG #innovation #researchanddevelopment

Talk about a sweet (and salty) deal! 👆Continues the trend of focusing on strengths for growth in CPG M&A. It's official: Mars will be acquiring Kellanova for $35.9B per the statement on Mars.com. The combined brand portfolios will give Mars substantially greater presence in snacking and confectionary as well as granola/cereal bars. They are building on a solid foundation with equally strong addition: This is less than a year after Kellogg Co. split and only a few months since Kellanova ramped up their commercial activities from merchandising to pack size to a feature movies to forecast an organic 3% lift in sales this year. Brands have been optimizing their portfolios, adding brands to their focus categories while ditching those that aren't delivering: The J.M. Smucker Co. sold Crisco (B&G Foods) and several pet brands to Post Consumer Brands along with other sales while acquiring Hostess Brands. B&G Foods Inc. picked up Crisco from is considering divesting Green Giant after sales dropped 16.9% Post has also acquired some cereal brands, combined with their pet purchases contributed a 23% sales lift in Q2. Having a greater presence in their target categories helps brands hold and/or gain their share, especially private label. The consolidated power and budgets make it more difficult for emerging brands to compete. Makes it especially important that: 1) use social & in-store to build brand/community and inspire/add value 2) ensure packaging both pops on shelf AND is easy for consumers to read 3) leverage retailer programs for increased discovery & trial via secondary locations, flyers, loyalty program points etc 4) use discounts and rebates to drive sales ------------------------------------------------------------- Get more product off shelves and into baskets with the latest in CPG, retail & consumer trends at 10:30am M, T, H & Sat by following Jared Kligerman!
