INDUSTRY — FOOD & BEVERAGE

FMCG marketing that works on the shelf — and stays in mind.

In food retail, brand success is decided on two metres of shelf in four seconds of attention. We build brand work that wins those four seconds — and the repeat after.

Work including Transgourmet — "Talents United" employer branding.

OUR THESIS

In FMCG, if you're not in the head, you're not in the cart.

Mental availability isn't marketing esoterica — it's the only defence against private label and discounter pressure. We build brands that are promptly recalled in the use occasion.

INDUSTRY REALITIES
01

Shelf space is a function of brand strength.

Without a strong brand, you don't negotiate shelf space — no matter how good the product is. Brand work is listing work.

02

Private labels aren't the enemy, they're the benchmark.

Without a premium justification for the price markup, you lose to private label. Brand work has to make that difference arguable.

03

Seasonal activation beats always-on (sometimes).

Ice cream in summer, mulled wine in winter — seasonal peaks are the levers. Always-on only when it fits the category.

04

Health and sustainability claims get audited.

Health Claims Regulation, Green Claims Directive. What isn't proven can't stand — not even subtly.

KPIs WE STEER BY
Shelf Share / Distribution
Shelf share and distribution. Marketing has to make listing negotiations evidence-based.
Sell-Out / Rotations-Geschwindigkeit
How fast does the pallet sell through at retail? Sell-in without sell-out lies.
Mental Availability
Brand recall in use occasion, measured in market research. Correlates with growth.
Repeat-Buyer Rate
Repeat buyer rate. Per season, per category. LTV indicator.

QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED

Both, integrated. In FMCG, mental availability is the performance — and performance activation builds mental availability. Splitting them loses both.

With clear premium argumentation: origin, process, taste, effect. Without justifying the price markup, you don't deserve it.

Sell-out and mental availability instead of sell-in and reach. Sell-in without rotation is inventory at retail, not success.

Conservatively. Health Claims Regulation and EFSA lists are the limit. We formulate so that a regulatory review doesn't become a quarterly risk.

Your product is on the shelf. We make sure it doesn't stay there.
