📣 What can we learn from Campbell's bold move to rebrand itself? Campbell's recent decision to rebrand from Campbell Soup Company to The Campbell’s Company offers a masterclass in strategic brand evolution. As nearly 50% of its sales now come from snacks like Goldfish and Kettle chips, Campbell’s is taking a strategic step to ensure its name reflects its diversified business portfolio while maintaining its soup heritage. 🔑 Why the Change? This rebranding showcases the company’s broader capabilities across multiple verticals. Campbell's is moving beyond its historic focus to spotlight its leadership in both the meals and snacks categories, bolstered by recent acquisitions like Rao’s pasta sauce. 💡 Key Strategies Behind the Rebrand: 👉🏼 #Diversification of Offerings Its new name ensures the brand communicates its full product portfolio to consumers and investors. 👉🏼 #Futureproof Identity Campbell’s is signaling that it’s a diverse food company poised for long-term growth. The rebrand positions the company to continue innovating and expanding into new food segments. 👉🏼 #Innovation-driven Growth Campbell has revamped its soup line with bold flavors and healthier options, targeting new demographics like younger consumers and health-conscious buyers. 👉🏼 Growth Through #Acquisition With its acquisition of Sovos Brands (parent company of Rao’s), Campbell strengthens its position in the meals and sauces market targeting premium segments, ensuring it remains competitive. 🌟 For Marketers Campbell’s rebrand reminds us that staying relevant requires constantly reevaluating your identity to reflect your full range of products and future ambitions. If your brand name no longer reflects the breadth of what you offer, it’s time to consider an evolution. Inspired by The Wall Street Journal article, "Campbell Drops Soup From Its Name, Not Its Plans." #leadership #marketing #vision #rebranding #innovation #ceo #coach #advisor #mg100 #thinkers50 #linkedinnews #bestadvice #jennyfernandez

Happy, sad, optimistic, worried, pumped, drained... Here's a sneak peak of just a few of the many Faces of 2023. And hey, let’s hear your captions! I know there’s some good ones… 1. "Eek...so exciting!" 2. "Heeey...things are lookin' good!" 3. “Easy there cowgirl...there’s some storm clouds to navigate.” 4. “Ok…wait…yes, I DID remember to pick up my kids today.” 5. “Ut oh.” 6. “Nope, all good, bring it on! Here we go 2024!” 💃 THE GOOD ~ We aired on Shark Tank ABC, launched Kroger, and changed our brand name from Honey Bunchies to Bon Bee™ Honey... within a 2 month span. 😮 ~ After being selected for 7-Eleven’s #Brandswithheart in both 2019 and 2022, we were picked to be the only nutrition bar in the emerging brands section of 7-Eleven’s annual tradeshow. ~ We had VIRAL support on LinkedIn with over 1.2 million post views asking our friends in Dallas to support our 7-Eleven test set...and man, did they deliver. Thank you, #Dallas!!! ❤️ ~ Mable picked us as 1 of 16 inaugural brands for their innovative McLane Company, Inc. partnership and we continue to rock the #TopShop badge on Faire. ~ Colorado Department of Agriculture took us under their wing to guide us in exploring interest from Canada, Mexico, Turkey, and Kuwait. ~ We grew our omnichannel presence including placement in museums and botanical gardens....can you say American Museum of Natural History? (plus so many more!) ~ Features in TImes-Call, The Denver Post, Denver Business Journal, Yahoo Finance and more! An interview with Joe Pardo discussing Shark Tank and a brand discussion on BevNET.com, Inc.’s Taste Radio with Ray Latif and Perfect Bar’s Leigh Keith. 🍫🎙 ~ Our Shark Tank episode has aired 2x on ABC and at least 6x on CNBC so far. There's a re-air today at 1p in fact (S14E20)! 😄 THE TRIALS Despite the shiny objects above, it’s impossible to avoid the struggles. These are just a few… ~ Balancing hockey stick demand, in-house production, and being bootstrapped, with limited ability to hire the amount of people we need. ~ Surviving the entrepreneurial lifestyle and trying to remember, “Why???” ~ COVID for 2 months ~ Merchandising errors for months and months risking unspeakable amounts of inventory and our business. ~ Filling hundreds of Shark Tank orders by hand, our one and only fulfillment team member out sick, and our shipping software massively glitching – so grateful to Mom and Dad for their help! ~ Worst of all, and the most difficult to share, enduring an unbearable personal loss in our family. THANK YOU To our customers, retailers, vendors, suppliers, fans, and on-lookers…. THANK YOU all for your support of our company, our brand, our family, and our journey! 💛 Stay tuned... So much exciting news coming soon! #veteranowned #womanowned #familybusiness #sharktankproduct #cpg #founderstories #HappyNewYear

Watching the raid on Sean Combs' home during the news took me back to September 2006 when I led Diageo’s Reserve Brand Group. The Cîroc team, ably led by Jamie Herbstman, presented two potential growth strategies: (1) partner with Sean “Diddy” Combs, an idea generated by the inimitable Jacquie Lee, or; (2) a traditional brand-building campaign for “self-defined sophisticates living an uncommon lifestyle”, developed by KBS (kirshenbaum bond senecal + partners) and Hunter. I advocated for the uncommon. Ultimately, the team went with Diddy, launching in 2007. The Diddy partnership took Cîroc from +/- 50,000 to ~2 million cases globally today. It also paved the way for many others like Clooney’s Casamigos, Hagar’s Cabo Wabo, Reynolds’ Aviation Gin . . . I take no credit for the Diddy deal, but I think it fair to call it a success. But now Cîroc is declining double-digits in the US. Could Diageo have built a more enduring business today if they had gone with a positioning woven into the fabric of the product? Public reports indicate that Diddy made almost $1 billion over the 15-year partnership, and that does not include the dollars needed to activate the partnership. So minimally, Diageo could have spent, on average, $70 million/year to establish the “Uncommon Vodka”. What do you think? Is the Diddy story a cautionary tale for building brands around celebrity alignment (like Jared/Subway) or an unfortunate one-off? Today I see more influencer/celebrity endorsements than ever . . . but will these be lasting businesses? Do strategics need to be cautious when buying personality-driven businesses? I wonder . . .

Top SEM & Marketing Analytics Voice| Marketing Manager specializing in Performance Marketing and Growth Strategies
How Mountain Dew, Quaker Oats, and Harley-Davidson successfully pivoted their target customers to drive growth, rather than altering their core products. Mountain Dew: Initially launched in the 1940s, it experienced sluggish sales until it repositioned as a drink for gamers and extreme sports enthusiasts. This shift transformed it into a $7 billion brand. Quaker Oats: Originally targeted at horses in the 1800s, Quaker Oats rebranded as a health food for humans, leading to its dominance in the oatmeal market. Harley-Davidson: Founded in 1903 and initially appealing to hardcore bikers, the company later emphasized its classic Americana heritage, attracting middle-aged men with disposable income. This strategy contributed to its $5.8 billion revenue last year. The key takeaway is that sometimes businesses need to rebrand their products or find better customers rather than changing their products. #marketing #brand #growth

Red Bull does it. So does Kellogg's. And Dove too. They all take a boring product. And blow it up with wild branding. Here's how. ➝ Red Bull sells caffeine in a can. Arm wrestling for shelf space with everyone. From cola to coffee. To stand out, they crank up the energy. Airplane flying marathons. Mountain biking competitions. Cliff diving showdowns. The more adrenaline, the better. And it sells a lot of energy drinks. Over $11B last year. ➝ Kellogg’s has been making cereal for 100 years. With brutal competition. Everyone wants a bite at the breakfast aisle. So Kellogg’s gets creative. Rolling out mascots like Tony the Tiger. Stuffing boxes with scratch-n-sniff stickers. Embedding themselves in pop culture. And it works. Last year, Kelloggs hit $12B. One box at a time. ➝ Dove’s been selling soap since 1957. Battling with bars like Ivory and Dial. But in 2004, that all changed. They launched a campaign called Real Beauty. Latching onto powerful themes: Body positivity. Positive self-esteem. Personal empowerment. Pure brand brilliance. Sales grew from $2.5B to $4B. Now it's the best selling bar on the shelf. ____ There’s nothing exciting about drinks, soap, or cereal. And that’s okay. Your product is allowed to be boring. But your marketing has to be good. #brand #marketing #growth P.S. At Influicity, we build brands that drive sales. I love highlighting the all-stars who show us how it's done. P.P.S. Like this stuff?

Ever heard of "Mother Beverage?" Hint: it was on Shark Tank ABC, and is widely known as something else now...... That's right, it's poppi! Marketing Geniuses. In 2018 they made an appearance on Shark Tank hoping to strike big. Turns out, they made a deal with the right Shark. Rohan Oza, founder of CAVU Consumer Partners, responsible for the success of Vitamin Water, Bai, and Vita Coco, partnered with the company for a 25% stake. However, "Mother Beverage" needed a rebrand. Something that could be trademarked. That's where "Poppi" came to life and the success shot out of a cannon exponentially. Being in only 200 stores previous to the rebrand in 2020, they now are in over 20,000 big name chains such as Target, Whole Foods, Publix, and Walmart. But wait it gets better... Now they are in Wholesale! Not to mention the success it's gaining on TikTok with influencers and celebrities. And I have to say, some of those flavors are wildly tasty - I'd be lying if I said I don't stock up when I go to Costco. Taking that old soda you find full of sugar and wrecking your gut, this prebiotic apple cider vinegar based, low sugar soda has taken over the hearts of millions. And to think, it started by a husband and a wife Stephen Ellsworth & Allison Ellsworth in Texas, taking their farmers market dream to a nationwide favorite. The future of soda is here they say, and oh boy is it coming to fruition. Now that's marketing. 📌 By the way, what's your favorite flavor? Tell me below 👇 The classic Cherry Limeade is the go to for me, but the Root Beer is a close second. #poppi #sodabutbetter #future #soda #marketing #digitalmarketing #trailblazer #sharktank #connect #health #healthy #connections #leadership #genius

What can Lucky Saint | B Corp™ 🍻 and Burger King 🍔 teach you about brand strategy? A LOT ! #1 Know what stories your brand can and should tell At Savanta’s Most Loved Brands event, Emily Laws from Lucky Saint spoke about understanding the stories your brand can tell and being comfortable with competitors doing some of the heavy lifting for you. Lucky Saint, as a challenger brand in the low and no alcohol space, accepts it may not be able to change consumer behaviour. That’s okay. Heineken or Peroni can do that for the category. What Lucky Saint can do is change perceptions of low alcohol beer using its brand (which is pretty cool) to signify quality and premium taste. #2 Never let the moment slip away Pete Tolkien from Burger King mentioned the moment on the campaign trail that Riski Sunak popped into McDonald’s in Buckinghamshire to buy breakfast. This happened yesterday. The social media team at Burger King jumped on the image shared by the The Telegraph on X and commented “THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER”. See the screenshot of the tweet which has over a million impressions. An in-the-moment marketing masterpiece 😂 #marketing #brandstrategy #brandlove #insight #research #casestudy

We have had a huge influx of brands coming to us at Jade Street Consulting Inc. for representation, which I am SUPER grateful for. When vetting brands to take on, we have a pretty lengthy process for various reasons. Most importantly, I want to make sure our values align and there is mutual respect both ways. I also like to make sure that our team is extremely interested in the brands we represent- we eat, drink, or use them. After having tons of conversations, there are some things I want to throw out there if you are a broker or offer a service in sales for CPG companies. 💫 Feedback- WHY was your client denied, is important. Tell them. 💫 If your client is discontinued on shelves, PLEASE tell them. 💫 If you truly don't LOVE the product, please don't represent them. 💫 If you cannot sell the brand, PLEASE don't represent them. Educate yourself on the products before you sell them. 💫 Communicate the process of reviews- timelines, reset dates, and everything else they may need. 💫 Be 100% honest with your clients- if this was your brand would you throw them into an account that has 1,300 locations but they will not produce ROI? 💫 Give them suggestions on tools they can use- merchandising companies, demo companies, Aisle, Instacart, etc, and if you don't have the answers, let them know! 💫 PUT IN THEIR PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES. 💫 Send them copies of everything. 💫 Honesty, honesty, and more honesty. Not everyone is going to like this, but everyone needs it. #cpg #cpgindustry #cpgbrands #food #beverage #relationships #partnerships #ceo #founder #sales #brokers #brokering #supplements #launches #nutrition #sportsnutrition #grocery #retail #candy #drinks #contracts #team #culture
