CPG Marketing How to win in the COVID-19 era

Like any other sector, CPG marketing must consider the effects on buying habits in this COVID-19 era. Or does it?

Two of the largest CPG parent brands – Kellogg and Kraft Heinz – are seeing at-home consumption decrease after an initial period of elevation when the virus first broke.

Basically, CPG marketing is back to square one .

We’ve been tracking buying habits since the outbreak. We’re finding that the same drivers exist in the COVID-19 era as they did before. They are just more intensive.

Our findings are that nothing much has changed. Just that the intensities – both positive and negative – are more emotional.

Our advice for those in CPG marketing? Go back to the basics. Align your brand with the highest emotional intensities in the market.

Be single-minded. Eliminate clutter. Get out of your own way and look at things honestly. And be different and better. We can show you how. Contact us here .
