A lot of people talk about partnerships but what does that really mean and what do they consist of?📈Mutual Respect📈Appreciation📈Honesty📈Transparency📈Communication📈Collaboration📈Listening from both ends 📈TRUST& so much more. As a founder and having a small team, it is a blessing to be able to CHOOSE who we want to work with.One partnership that has stuck out to me since day one has been our partnership with Genius Gourmet Inc. The WHOLE team over there has been phenomenal! Which is an understatement. The appreciation we get daily (especially when we win) is something I wish every company had for their partners. The understanding of when we lose and that things take time in grocery is even bigger. I’m SO beyond happy to say we have just signed another year with Genius Gourmet Inc. and 2024 will be the best year yet 🚀 With some new phenomenal launches.James Vas Dias Pete Vas Dias Lance Rankin #cpg #cpgindustry #cpgbrands #retail #brokers #partnership #relationships #ceo #founder #sales #food #snacks #nutrition #nutritionalbars #bars #launches #foodbusiness

Colachup? Peptchup? Kepsi?PepsiCo is launching a soda-infused ketchup, "Colachup" at select #baseball stadiums on this #july4th. It's this kind of innovation that keeps PepsiCo in the spotlight. However, while novelty creates buzz, it may also spark confusion as consumers struggle to categorize PepsiCo as not just a beverage giant but a food innovator as well.This move certainly demonstrates PepsiCo's ability to think outside the box, yet the question arises: does diversification dilute the brand? One thing all companies, large and small, should learn from this is to foster a culture of creativity and innovation in your company. Taking risks and pushing boundaries are integral to remaining competitive in today's dynamic marketplace. A little curiosity and bold creativity, can lead to extraordinary innovations that can take your brand to new heights.#innovation #creativity #food

INNOVATION and market(ing) leadership Sometimes food companies are focused on the so called “continuos innovation”Through new marketing ideas, communication level and also new taste to search for their market leader products But the brand could be the food product in itself Recognized as “the” food product of that specific market Competitors are coming (from bakery to jar to biscuit markets) but they can’t reach the same emotional appeal that the leader product continues to keep The challenge in innovation sometimes is the traditional marketing approach “Bread and Nutella” goes directly to the emotional part of consumer memory for taste and sweetness But the way the nut cream is spread on the bread is changed a lot on the communication in the first years and it’s really difficult to “think different” on brand power levelNo need to change #food #business #marker #leader
