Consumer goods branding FAQ

Updated

How does branding help consumer goods brands grow right now?

Shoppers now meet a product in creator posts and AI answers long before they see it on a shelf. Kantar looked at more than 15,000 sponsored creator posts and found just 6% delivered both high engagement and high Brand Power (Kantar). The posts that worked showed the product in use and said the brand name out loud. A clear brand strategy keeps those cues consistent everywhere the product shows up. That's where our Brand Intelligence work starts.

What kind of creative is working for consumer goods brands in 2026?

Creative that puts the product front and center. In Kantar's study, an audible brand mention added 22 points of brand linkage and showing the product in use added 14 points of Brand Power (Kantar). Distinctive packaging still pulls its weight too. It added 14 points of brand linkage in the same study. Our Creative Development team builds packaging and launch films around those cues.

Where should consumer goods brands spend growth marketing dollars?

Retail media keeps taking a bigger share. WARC forecasts global retail media spend will hit $223.4B in 2027, or 15.2% of all ad spend worldwide (WARC). Bain says retailers now want 80% of joint business planning to focus on shopper data and category growth, with less time spent on price and promotions (Bain). Plan creator content to build demand and let retail ads close the sale. Our Growth Marketing team plans both sides together.

How are AI assistants changing how shoppers find consumer goods brands?

More shoppers ask AI tools for product picks before they search a retailer. Bain reports that L'Oréal sends product detail and SKU data straight to OpenAI so ChatGPT describes its products accurately (Bain). Smaller brands can start by making product pages specific and adding structured data so AI tools can read them.

What's happening in consumer goods marketing this month?

As of November 2026, Mattel's chief marketing and brand officer Roberto Stanichi is leaving to run consumer products and experiences at Netflix (The Hollywood Reporter). Clorox's Fresh Step worked with AI agency RECE to take its new 15-second TV ads from brief to finished creative in about a month at one-tenth the cost (Marketing Dive). Wet Ones ran its first major campaign in years, "Just For Hands" with BBH USA (Marketing Dive). Blueland rebranded its packaging as it moves from DTC into mainstream retailers (Adweek).
