We’re CPG Marketing Experts.
Our CPG advertising agency offers the right Professional Services to innovate everything a brand needs, from package design to successful social plans.
For 50 golden years, the formula for marketing consumer packaged goods was practiced and perfected.
Do the research. Find the gap. Develop the brand and positioning. Nail the packaging. Do a couple more focus groups for good measure. Put it on prime time, network TV, and hold your breath. But this kind of rote advertising has no place in today’s landscape of social media marketing, influencer outreach, and email marketing.
Then, along came the internet…
… and it ushered in a new need for thought-provoking CPG branding agencies ready to shake up the industry. The consumer’s attention splintered into a million different pieces. The challenges now facing every CPG advertising agency center around drawing attention to a brand in this changing landscape where information—and competition—are everywhere.
Reaching the newest generation of shoppers as a CPG branding agency requires even more creativity and content.
Large and well-known CPG brands are scrambling to shake off their ‘big corporate’ image while smaller, local, cause-driven brands are springing up on every corner of social media. Transparency, clean labels, customization. The challenge of marketing becomes more difficult.
Retailers have been decimated, and while grocery has been relatively unscathed, Amazon, Walmart and a host of home delivery companies are methodically decoding food delivery.
The power of shelf space is being eroded by the long tail. The challenge of marketing consumer packaged goods is about to become more difficult still. Building customer loyalty and brand recognition through marketing is key to a company’s success.
There IS good news, though.
The opportunities for agile companies are plentiful. The 635 BILLION dollar CPG market has been disrupted, and shares are up for grabs. The next golden age of CPG marketing is just beginning. Brandon can help you navigate the chaos, find your place in the market, and connect your brand with customers who are hungry for it. We are results-focused CPG advertising specialists who use integrated, data-driven methods in our marketing strategies. Give us a call to learn about our full suite of Professional Services, and let’s start something.
