Special CPG Report: Explore the Challenges Facing Today’s Brands

Written by Field Agent | Feb 27, 2018

It’s a new world for CPG companies and the brands they sell:

  1. Private-label, store brands have really upped their game in recent years, becoming more competitive than ever
  1. Retailers like Aldi and Lidl, that sell predominantly their own private labels, are growing aggressively
  1. Increasingly, private labels are available online, which means shoppers can buy them for in-store pickup or delivery to practically anywhere in the world
  1. At any time, a new hotshot brand—think Chobani, Halo Top, La Croix—can disrupt an established product category

A new world indeed.

Of course, new worlds are meant to be explored. They invite discovery.

And while new worlds are certainly fraught with challenge, they also abound in opportunity.
