Scale still matters, but it’s not enough

We are accelerating consumer attitudes, changing at an ever-increasing rate, and brands urgently need to understand this. It's time to think of them as people, not just consumers. This requires an increasing focus on innovation, brand purpose and sustainability.

Consumer goods companies have struggled with turbulence and upheaval for years, but not like this. The global pandemic, sweeping changes in consumer behavior, supply chain upheaval and competition from new players are just some of the factors stalling growth. The intense focus on sustainability is forcing consumers and companies at every stage of the value chain to rethink their habits, priorities and ways of doing business.

Despite these pressures, the list of top consumer products companies remains remarkably stable, a testament to the benefits of scale. By changing their portfolios, updating their go-to-market models and seeking operational efficiencies, leaders of scale have managed to stay on top – for now.

Our consumer goods consulting experience ensures that you’ll stay there. As agility and proximity to the consumer become more important, we can help you overcome disruption, anticipate risk and remain an industry leader. We can help you:

Next Generation Key Account Management

Tectonic shifts in the retail landscape and rapidly changing customer needs require CPGs to reinvent themselves. Next-generation key account management allows you to work closely with retailers to jointly define and execute optimal value creation strategies.

Mergers and acquisitions strategy

Your M&A strategy should be a logical extension of your growth strategy and should be based on a disciplined and repeatable model that supports frequent and increasingly large deals.

What we're doing

Digital supply chain

 

Customization

To connect with your consumers, you need to know where they’re looking, how they’re buying, and even exactly when they’re ready to buy. Using consumer profiles, augmented by artificial intelligence systems and retailer partnerships, we can help you create “segment of one” targeting tailored to specific channels and capable of scaling to capture huge market share.

Client information

From food to consumer durables, product portfolio management requires new ways of working with customer information. To guide brand investments and reshape segmentation, our “demand-driven growth” approach maps what drives consumer choice in each category or niche so you can position yourself profitably with strong growth potential.
