Inside the $1B+ Adult Non-Alcoholic Movement | Kaleigh Theriault (NielsenIQ) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Adult Non-Alcoholic (ANA) Market & Evolving Consumer Behavior Shifts. Today, we are cracking open the data behind one of the most explosive shifts in modern beverage history…the meteoric rise of the adult non-alcoholic market. No longer a niche corner of the grocery store, adult non-alcoholic beer, wine, and spirits have officially crossed the staggering milestone of $1 billion in U.S. retail sales.

Read excerpt
Are Netflix and Ferrero about to dethrone MrBeast and Feastables? 🍫✨ In this episode, I'm breaking down the hyper-gamified strategic partnership between streaming giant Netflix and the fiercely private CPG conglomerate Ferrero Group.

As a parent, I’m totally onboard with protecting children…but banning colorful cans won't fix a lack of consumer awareness on safe caffeine limits for developing bodies. And I don’t want
[MONDAY MINUTE] Inside Target's Massive New Grocery Transformation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Target is secretly turning into a scaled-up Trader Joe’s, executing the largest transition of its grocery department layout in more than a decade. Almost half of its grocery assortment has been overhauled, not to mention a huge expansion of health and wellness items. Also, Target just slashed prices on over ten thousand everyday grocery items. Plus, they spent BIG on new high-tech mega-warehouses…just to get fresh food to shelves two days faster than before. The result? In Target’s latest financ
