Speakeasy — Knowledge Brokers’ Post

Back from yet another fantastic #IFTFIRST! For me, the theme of collaboration ruled the show. I loved seeing industry leaders and innovators working together to help overcome challenges and leverage opportunities in the food and beverage supply chain. Some highlights: 🧠 Virginia Dare Extract Co. X Kyowa Hakko USA: Cognizin®-fortified brain health samples with perfected taste 👨🍳 Alianza Team USA X HIFOOD: Co-developed samples featuring ingredients to revolutionize meat alternatives, baked goods, and more 🍣 Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition North America, Inc. X Kororin US Inc.: An onigiri rice ball demo that promoted authentic umami flavors with healthier, more convenient ingredients 🇺🇬 PROVA X Vanilla from Uganda: A delicious madeleine cookie sample using Ugandan-sourced vanilla In my role at MarketPlace Branding, I love making connections across companies that have technologies and people worth knowing about each other. So if we haven't met yet, please say hello! You might be holding the keys to something that's stumping someone else in the industry. Bright minds are brighter together 💡💡💡

In the 1920s, speakeasies—small, secret bars—emerged as a response to people’s thirst for fun stifled by Prohibition, blending all kinds of people in a cultural melting pot. Today, Speakeasy — Knowledge Brokers is a nimble and thoughtful response to the "prohibitions" of the modern creative industry: ego, bloated structures, slow processes, and the difficulty of finding quality talent. We continue quenching the thirst of organizations and brands that dream big, like AB InBev / Ambev, offering more reasons to toast to the future. Cheers! #Gigsofthenewtimes #CreativeHub #Brandinnovation #EvolvingBrands #SpeakeasyVibe #Opentalent 🔥🚀

Part of what makes Innovia Technology’s work so valuable is our ability to solve problems and create opportunities for clients, often in unexpected ways. It enables them to make decisions, to identify a clear way forward that they’re confident in, and secure organisational commitment to take action. We made this happen for PepsiCo recently. It needed technically feasible ideas, underpinned by scientific rationale, that would appeal to underserved consumers. Innovia Technology built science-based approaches for using ingredients in new ways and created distinctive beverage propositions to demonstrate how they could be leveraged in coherent product concepts. The resulting input formed a foundational toolkit that has played a guiding role in the development journey for several recent PepsiCo launches, including Rockstar Focus. The work continues to guide PepsiCo’s flavorists and product development teams. Read more about the work here: https://lnkd.in/eKmjfwE3 #Breakthrough #Innovation PepsiCo Rockstar Energy Drink
