Orrin Huebner’s Post

Well said Orrin Huebner! We often celebrate the end product but what we should acknowledge is the process - a process that is sometimes ugly, messy and full of failures that lead to progressively improved iterations over time. Innovation is just as much about the end result as it is about the journey to get there. This is no different than appreciating the accumulation of practices, studying, game-planning, training and treatments that go into making a championship athletic team. Let's begin celebrating the process along with the failures along the way to show that absolute risk-aversion does not move the needle. To embrace innovation is to also embrace every blemish, struggle, idea, and lesson learned along the way.

Sneak peek time: Brandy Blackwell and Paul Macaluso of Another Broken Egg Cafe front the cover of our December issue of FSR. This was definitely a long time coming. This NextGen movement we often talk about—Paul came over from the quick-service world on the doorstep of the pandemic. And he's seen that melding of service models from the front lines. The idea has always been, how do you deliver on some of the trends, like convenience and personalization, but with an experience-forward approach that threads all of it together and separates from the transactional side of the industry? That's what the best full-service brands in America are doing right now, and Another Broken Egg is a top-tier concept in action.

FMCG Trends in 2024: Shaping the Future of #foodandbeverageindustry Navigating the ever-evolving landscape of the food and beverage industry requires a keen eye for emerging trends and a willingness to adapt to changing consumer preferences. As we step into 2024, several key trends are poised to shape the future of this dynamic sector. Sustainability: A Cornerstone of Consumer Choice Environmental consciousness is at an all-time high, and consumers are actively seeking sustainable products that align with their values. Food and beverage companies must prioritize eco-friendly practices, from sourcing ingredients to packaging choices, to remain competitive in this increasingly discerning market. Health and Wellness: A Persistent Pursuit The focus on health and wellness continues to drive consumer decisions, with a growing demand for products that promote overall well-being. Food and beverage companies must cater to this trend by offering nutritious, minimally processed options that support specific health goals, such as gut health, immunity, and cognitive function. Personalization: Tailoring Experiences to Individual Needs Consumers crave personalized experiences, and this extends to their food and beverage choices. Companies must embrace data-driven insights and emerging technologies to create customized products and marketing campaigns that resonate with individual preferences and lifestyles. Convenience: Meeting the Needs of a Fast-Paced World In today's busy world, convenience is paramount. Food and beverage companies must streamline product preparation, consumption, and storage to cater to on-the-go consumers seeking easy, convenient options that fit seamlessly into their hectic schedules. Premiumization: Valuing Quality and Experience Despite economic uncertainties, consumers are willing to pay a premium for products that deliver exceptional quality and a superior experience. Food and beverage companies must elevate their offerings through premium ingredients, innovative packaging, and enhanced sensory experiences. These trends underscore the dynamic nature of the food and beverage industry, where innovation and adaptability are key to success.

TRANSFORMATION from near IMPOSSIBLE TO POSSIBLE comes down to PEOPLE 🚀 Back in 2007, the Icehouse brand faced fierce headwinds—shifts in consumer preferences left it overshadowed by trendy imports and cheap light beers. The challenge? Transform years of decline into growth. The answer? People. Crafting a vision and rallying internal and external forces required more than strategy; it demanded a deep belief in change. So, how did this dedicated team turn the tide? ✅ Consumer Focus: Identified a specific target—the 'Wolfpack,' mid-20s enthusiasts. ✅ Unique Product Offering: Embraced the distinct "ice" brewing process. ✅ Geographic Precision: Concentrated efforts in Mid Atlantic and the Southeast. ✅ Strategic Partnership: Aligned with Maxim Magazine for instant brand elevation. ✅ Galvanizing Momentum: Sparked belief and activated the system. But here's the often-forgotten finale: CELEBRATION! Our team deserved more than a pat on the back. Our WOLFPACK—those remarkable individuals behind the resurgence—deserved personal recognition. Enter custom Bobbleheads. Why Bobbleheads? Because they embody fun, uniqueness, and individuality—just like our team. Seeing them as athletes, I wanted to create a keepsake that puts the spotlight on their incredible achievement. Maybe Dwight Schrute from The Office was on to something. 😂 (PHOTO: My Bobblehead that have a keepsake to remember this moment AND as a reminder to do something special for others) Reflecting on this, I'd love to hear about impactful ways you've recognized or paid tribute to your team. Let's celebrate accomplishments in the most personal and memorable way possible! 🏆 #CultureFIRSTleadership #TeamRecognition #SuccessStory #BobbleheadMagic #culturetransformation
