In this episode, Cory Connors sits down with Anna Perlina, a sustainable packaging and EU PPWR consultant with Integrity Solutions, to unpack why the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is reshaping how companies — even those outside Europe — think about packaging strategy. Anna traces her path from leading global packaging procurement at a major FMCG company to founding her own consultancy, and explains how the PPWR has turned "sustainable packaging," once a vague and subjective goal, into a concrete, common playing field with a roadmap running through 2040. The two also preview this November's Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht, where they both serve as ambassadors.Key Topics Discussed:Anna's journey from corporate packaging procurement to founding Integrity SolutionsWhy PPWR gives companies a concrete, common definition of "sustainable packaging" for the first timeThe business case for regulatory certainty: why clear rules unlock long-term investment in new materials and equipmentThe real-world testing and scale-up challenges of switching packaging formats (including a cautionary tale about pickle jars)Anna's role as an ambassador for the Sustainable Packaging Summit and her speaking history with Packaging Europe webinars and panelsReflections on last year's Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht, including moderating the "paper vs. plastic" panelWhat's new for the 2026 Summit: three full days of programming, EU commissioner participation, and lessons learned from the PPWR's first milestone (August 12, 2026)Why non-EU companies should study the PPWR now, even if they don't sell into EuropePractical tips for attending the Summit, including train travel to UtrechtChapters: 00:16 Introduction to Sustainability and Consulting02:59 Understanding PPWR and Its Impact on Packaging05:37 Challenges in Sustainable Packaging Implementation10:06 The Role of the Sustainable Packaging Summit12:46 Insights from the Last Summit and Future Expectations15:23 Practical Tips for Companies on Sustainability18:07 Conclusion and Networking OpportunitiesResources Mentioned:Integrity Solutions — Anna Perlina's sustainable packaging and EU PPWR consultancyAnna Perlina on LinkedInSustainable Packaging Summit, Utrecht — November 10–12, 2026, at the Beatrix Theatre, JaarbeursEuropean Commission PPWR overview and guidanceContact:Listeners can connect with Anna Perlina on LinkedIn, where she regularly publishes free expert content and practical guidance on navigating the PPWR.Support our Sponsors Learn more here:- 3M- Specright- Forest https://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedConnect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

Hank Crawford of Blue Collar Robotics and Paul Harker, retired CCO of Woolworths Group, on grocery store robotics a retailer can deploy today.There are 280,000 people walking the aisles of US grocery stores right now picking somebody else's order, and grocers cannot hire fast enough to keep up with the growth. That number comes from Hank Crawford, Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Collar Robotics, and it frames the whole conversation. Online grocery keeps growing. Labor keeps getting harder to find. And the two big swings the industry took at eGrocery fulfillment, the centralized fulfillment center and the micro fulfillment center, both left grocers with high CapEx, duplicated inventory, and people still picking most of the order. Hank is joined by Paul Harker, retired Chief Commercial Officer of Woolworths Group, Australia's largest retailer, who joined Blue Collar Robotics as a strategic advisor. Together with Ricardo Belmar and Casey Golden they work through the economics of eGrocery fulfillment from the operator's side of the table: why the warehouse answer collapsed, what grocery store robotics has been getting wrong, and why a purpose-built robot with a remote operator behind it can drop into a supermarket that already exists. The mechanism is the interesting part. Blue Collar Robotics sells the picking as a service. A grocer pays a cost per pick, which moves the spend from CapEx into OpEx. The robot handles packaged center-aisle goods using vacuum suction, which is roughly 65% of a typical order, and store associates get redeployed to fresh, where care actually shows up in the customer's bag. Blue Collar reports eGrocery fulfillment cost reductions of as much as 50%. This is Season 6, Episode 10.In This Episode, You'll Learn•       Why centralized fulfillment centers failed for grocery on four separate counts: volume density, distance from the customer, fresh, and CapEx•       What Paul Harker says micro fulfillment centers still cannot solve, including duplicated inventory and picking "the uglies"•       Why over 80% of a grocer's business is still the in-store customer, and how eGrocery growth quietly degrades that experience•       The case for a human behind every robot, and why it is now standard practice for anything operating in an unstructured environment•       What robot etiquette means in a store aisle, and what China's hotel delivery robots taught Hank about how not to do it•       How the grocery store robotics buying conversation changes when the customer has no robotics team of its own•       Why grocery store robotics took this long to find product-market fit in a supermarket, and what changed•       Why the labor argument runs backwards here: there is no line of people waiting for picking jobs•       How remote operation opens picking work to people who could never physically do it, and opens a 24 hour picking clock for the store•       What Hank says is actually slowing adoption, and it is not the technologySupport our sponsorsThis Episode is Brought to You By RetailClub.Retail and brand leaders can attend RetailClub AI Festival completely budget-free, plus get $1,750 toward travel and hotel.

"A personal brand is not you posting cocktails on holiday." That's the opening jab in round five of Brand of the Match. This week's fight: who's the true champion of personal brand.Personal brand is the intentional building of an individual's profile to drive a business, career or commercial outcome, not just having a reputation or a following. In the fifth episode of Brand of the Match, Lottie and Joel put personal brand under the microscope, from Emma Grede's step into the limelight to promote her book after decades building brands behind the scenes, to Grace Beverly's radical transparency around motherhood, to SheerLuxe's internal agency model that turned staff into influencers and sold the business for a reported £40 million. Along the way they cover PerfectTed's LinkedIn culture and its Steven Bartlett origin story, Currys' employee generated content and the fallout between Dr Miami and a former employee over incentives and credit.By full time, there's only one winner.

Markets adjust to new closing auction mechanism Markets witnessed a volatile trading session as investors adjusted to the new closing auction mechanism introduced for stocks with futures and options contracts. Snapping a four-day winning streak, the BSE Sensex fell 210 points to close at 78,428, while the NSE Nifty declined 159 points to settle at 24,615. Despite sharp intraday swings, trading remained orderly, suggesting that market participants are gradually adapting to the new framework. Turnover in the closing auction session also remained healthy. The NSE recorded more than ₹1,540 crore in turnover on the second day of the mechanism, up from ₹1,276 crore on Monday, while the BSE saw turnover of ₹9.35 crore. Dabur defends product purity amid FSSAI action While financial markets were adjusting to a new trading regime, the consumer goods sector was grappling with regulatory scrutiny. Dabur India has defended the quality and purity of its products after the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) prohibited the sale of certain food products over the use of “100 per cent” claims. The FMCG major said it has never made misleading claims and has already begun updating product labels, advertisements and website content to remove the “100 per cent” wording. According to the company, most affected products have either completed the transition or are in the process of doing so. Dabur also said it is engaging with the regulator and seeking legal advice on the way forward. India's app economy hits record high From product labels to digital subscriptions, changing consumer behaviour is becoming increasingly visible across sectors. India's mobile app economy posted its strongest quarter yet, with revenue reaching a record $345 million during the April-June quarter of 2026, according to data from Sensor Tower. The figure marks a 35 per cent year-on-year increase, driven largely by spending on AI applications, video streaming platforms and other digital services. Non-gaming apps alone generated nearly $240 million in revenue, growing more than 50 per cent from a year earlier. The latest numbers suggest India is steadily evolving from being the world's largest app-download market into one where consumers are increasingly willing to pay for digital services. Centre moves to reintroduce MDR on UPI for large merchants As digital adoption accelerates, attention is also turning to the payment infrastructure that powers this growth. The Centre has initiated amendments that could reintroduce Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on UPI payments made by large merchants. The proposal is part of the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill expected to be tabled in Parliament. Alongside this, the government has proposed extending tax benefits for foreign companies supplying machinery to contract manufacturers until 2041, a move aimed at boosting domestic electronics manufacturing and supporting investments from global technology players. The proposed measures are expected to strengthen India's manufacturing ecosystem while also reshaping the economics of the country's rapidly expanding digital payments network.

Employer branding still has to shout for a seat at the table as a strategic business asset - and the people who can change that fastest are the practitioners themselves, by using their voice.Sang-Kyun ("Sanny") Park, Global Expert for Employer Branding and Talent Attraction at KWS, is one of them. He's spent the past 18 months building a voice on LinkedIn, and it's more than just sharing a post or two on LinkedIn.This conversation is about what it takes for employer branding to be recognised as central to how organisations attract and retain talent — not a side function.Sanny didn't wait for a strategy before he started posting; he picked topics he had an opinion on and worked out what resonated by watching the numbers. That habit of sharing expertise, done consistently, is what raises the profile of employer branding as an industry and gives individuals more of a voice inside their own organisations.About Sanny: Sanny moved into employer branding after a career in classic FMCG brand marketing, and now leads employer brand and talent attraction globally at KWS, one of the world's leading plant breeding companies. His weekly LinkedIn videos have grown into a company-wide social media advocates programme.What you'll hear:- Why raising individual profiles on LinkedIn also raises the profile of employer branding as an industry- Why Sanny started posting before he had a content strategy — and why that wasn't a mistake- The personal reason he pushed himself in front of the camera after years working behind it- How one post about "job hugging" hit 3 million impressions, and what he learned from it- Why leading by example is the fastest way to get employees creating content- How KWS built a social media advocates pilot from Sanny's own experimentFind Sanny: www.linkedin.com/in/sang-kyun-park-kwsFind Chris: www.linkedin.com/in/chrislch Get full access to Employer Content Marketing at www.employercontent.marketing/subscribe

What if Bombay Shaving Company's biggest opportunity is already in front of it, but the founders are not seeing it clearly? In this episode, Shantanu Deshpande (Founder & CEO, Bombay Shaving Company) sits down with Aditya Sehgal (Founder, Asgard. World and Ex-President & COO, Reckitt), along with Deepak Gupta (Co-Founder & COO, Bombay Shaving Company), to unpack what it really takes to build a large Indian consumer brand for the next decade. At the centre of this conversation is Bombay Shaving Company's next big question: Can a grooming brand from India become a ₹4,000 Cr business, and eventually build products strong enough to compete globally? Aditya breaks down why India may still be behind China in innovation velocity, why local manufacturing is not just a financial decision but a strategic one, why AI will completely change how teams are built, and why money follows opportunity, not the other way around. What you'll learn from this episode: - Why 10-year-old startups learn and adapt faster than 100-year-old FMCG giants - How the "XEMES" innovation formula works and why India's "jugaad" mentality might be holding it back - What the 2x2 AI Decision Matrix is (Repeatability vs. Sensitivity) and what tasks to automate - Why taking a lower margin to build local manufacturing is a massive strategic moat - How a non-tech executive built a fully functional app in 8 days just by using AI If you're building a consumer brand, D2C business, retail company, or India-first startup, this episode gives you a sharp look at what it actually takes to build beyond the next quarter and create something that can compound for years.

How is AI influencing innovation in the food industry? In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded live at our event at Olympia in London, we try to map out the full picture.Our guest speaker is Alberto Prado, former Global Head of R&D Digital & Partnerships at Unilever.Alberto believes the food industry is facing the most volatile, fast-moving, expensive and demanding environment it has ever operated in. But, he argues, the tools it's using to respond are largely unchanged since the 1980s.He maps out the full picture - what AI is already doing inside large FMCG organisations, the five barriers he believes are getting in the way, and why he argues companies that treat AI as infrastructure rather than a feature, will be shaping this industry for the next decade.His argument is that most food businesses are using AI to write better emails and build slightly faster dashboards, while mistaking that for transformation.If this has whet your appetite for next year's Food Matters Live events - you can already register your interest to partner with us in London and Rotterdam.

As Women Emerging concludes its Journeys to Leadership series, this special re-release revisits one of the conversations that helped shape how we think about leadership.The episode brings together Rouba Mhassen, Erica Su, and Folawe Omikunle as they reflect on the moments that transformed how they understood themselves and the way they lead.Rouba shares how she did not recognise herself as someone leading until others named it, and how embracing that identity changed everything. Erica explores the importance of writing your own story, making decisions that are self-defining rather than self-limiting, and having the courage to say no. Folawe reflects on leading with love, building communities that lift one another up, and accepting that difficult conversations are part of the journey.Together, their stories explore confidence, responsibility, identity, relationships, courage, and the quiet moments that reshape how we see ourselves. The conversation reminds us that leadership is rarely a linear journey, and that the most significant turning points are often recognised only in hindsight.About the Guest:Rouba MhaissenRouba Mhaissen is an economist, activist, and development practitioner focused on the MENA region, particularly forced migration and the Syrian refugee crisis.

This episode of the PRmoment Podcast, hosted by Ben Smith with guest Andrew Bloch, reviews June 2026 UK PR pitch wins and M&A activity in the PR and wider marketing sector.Market sentiment and pitch environmentBloch describes the UK PR pitch market as buoyant and optimistic at the mid‑year point. Agencies are reporting record months, strong new‑business pipelines, and clients releasing healthy campaign budgets on top of retainers. Despite political and economic uncertainty, including wars in Ukraine and Iran and rising energy prices, there is a “heads‑down and busy” pitch environment. Investment is particularly strong in social, consumer, and experiential work, with agencies that can prove genuine commercial impact winning out.Notable pitch winsA series of high‑profile wins illustrate where spend is flowing:Delphi wins UK comms for Gen Digital (Norton, Avast, LifeLock, etc.), a $4–5bn revenue cyber safety and financial wellness group. Wild Signal secures the global remit after an 11‑way pitch, then brings Delphi in for the UK.Tin Man, Appella Advisors, and Gladstone Place Partners win National Lottery operator Allwyn, spanning consumer activations and corporate advisory, taking over from Brunswick.Wonderland secures Ocean Spray across earned, creator, social, and trade, reinforcing its strength in food and drink/FMCG.Red wins Grant Thornton's corporate comms to challenge conventions in professional services.Speed is appointed by Beko plc (Hotpoint, Whirlpool, Indesit, etc.) to oversee all six brands, building on a strong client of Brabantia, Post Office, Co‑op already Speed Clients.New agency Knock Three Times (founded by Kat Thomas) lands Westfield's consumer comms, with a client explicitly citing their “creative storytelling and AI‑era visibility” proposition.Shook wins Innocent's retained consumer press office, while Tin Man adds Yoplait; Boldspace wins Playmobil; and Smarts secures Costa Coffee.A clear pattern emerges: successful agencies combine sector specialism (FMCG, retail, lifestyle) with integrated capabilities (earned, influencer, social, retail activation) and a strong commercial/strategic narrative.M&A themesOn M&A, Bloch says the “M&A world is super busy”, driven by needs for scale, specialism, and social/creator capability:Accenture Song acquires Whalar, signalling how seriously big consultancies now take the creator economy and its projected $40bn+ value.LADbible Group buys a 75% stake in Uncovered for an initial £26m, aiming to combine publisher scale and insight with social‑first creativity, and to shift revenue towards more predictable, direct partnerships.Far on the Hill merges with Fourth Day to form an international tech PR agency across London, New York, Paris, and Manchester.Fleet Street takes a minority stake in KAM Insight in hospitality, potentially a strategic “try before you buy” move, deepening shared data and insight.Bacchus, a luxury lifestyle and hospitality specialist, is acquired by Mazarin Group, reinforcing the power of niche, best‑in‑class specialists.The long‑running Golin–Ketchum merger is finalised under the name Golin Ketchum, creating a large‑scale creative communications powerhouse within Omnicom, with Matt Neale as global CEO and Tamara Norman as global president.Across these deals, Bloch stresses that scale + specialism + strategic/creative clout are becoming decisive, while content alone is commoditising under AI pressure, pushing value into strategy, creativity, and data‑driven effectiveness.The podcast in quotes:Market mood & impact focus“The agencies that can prove genuine commercial impact are winning, Half two of the year is here. Let's get on with it.” – Andrew Bloch [0:02:35]On the M&A climate“The M&A world at the moment is super busy. There is nobody sitting still… there are deals happening. There is movement, and it is buoyant for sure at the moment.” – Andrew Bloch [0:03:14]On Delphi's Gen Digital win“This is a four to five billion dollar revenue business… a significant win for an agency of that age and size.” – Andrew Bloch [0:04:33]On Knock Three Times and AI‑era visibility“Knock Three Times offered something we hadn't seen elsewhere – a progressive proposition that puts creative storytelling and AI‑era visibility on equal footing.” – Andrew Bloch (quoting Westfield's head of marketing) [0:10:16]On publishers buying agencies & the social sector“This is a play for the future, and this will not be the first deal you will see in this space of this nature.” – Andrew Bloch, on LADbible–Uncovered and social agencies [0:24:28]On AI and commoditised content“Content is becoming very much a commodity service… AI is an enormous threat to any agency that is in the content space. The agencies that will survive… have the strategic relationships, the creative relationships at the top table.” – Andrew Bloch [0:23:31–0:24:28]On Golin Ketchum's ambition“Our ambition is to become the defining agency of the decade, and I love that, because it's a massive ambition.” – Andrew Bloch, quoting Matt Neale [0:33:39]

What if the way we've always led is no longer enough for the world we're leading in now? In this episode, Kevin talks with Claire Brumby about why leaders need to "forget normal" and embrace a more human and intuitive approach to leadership. Claire introduces her MAGIC framework—mindset, awakening, gumption, intuition, and charisma. She explains how each element helps leaders reconnect with who they are, challenge limiting beliefs, take meaningful action, listen to their inner wisdom, and show up with authentic confidence. Kevin and Claire discuss why mindset is the foundation for growth, how self-compassion helps leaders better understand others, and why intuition is not "woo-woo" but a practical leadership advantage when paired with strategy.

Zepto just filed its DRHP. It wants to open 1,900 new dark stores, on top of the 1,139 it already runs. Blinkit, the only profitable player in the sector, is racing to 3,000 stores by March 2027. Meanwhile, its adjusted EBITDA is just Rs. 37 crores — not a lot considering the billions that have been spent on getting it to profitability.The dark store is quick commerce's core bet — and its biggest fixed cost. Rents are rising, FMCG prices are up, and user growth at Zepto actually declined between December and March despite spending over Rs 1,300 crore on advertising.The model is scaling.

After a flimsy piece of fashion tape caused her most embarrassing wardrobe malfunction at a nightclub back in 2017, Annabel dedicated the next four years of her life inventing and globally patenting the world's first glue alternative. to fashion tape.  After finding virality almost instantly, CLUTCH quickly became an international phenomenon, revolutionising the way we wear and enjoy our clothes.  From being coined the best Shark Tank pitch of all time, to closing the world's largest pre-seed capital raise for an FMCG company, and making the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2025, her philosophy for building CLUTCH has been shaped by transferable skills from her career as a construction manager, helping position her as one of the most practical founders in the space.

Michael interviews Stephen Logue, an economist and former FMCG marketer who became marketing director at Berni Inns, founded a research-led consultancy, and later owned restaurants.Logue explains how market research identified five consistent drivers of restaurant success—cleanliness, service, atmosphere, food quality, and value for money—and how redesigning and standardizing Berni Inns (including work with Conran) lifted sales and won a Catey.He argues hospitality underinvests in service, emphasizing “hire character, train skills,” building staff confidence and self-belief, and using tools like mystery visits and customer research.He shares “runners and riders” concept testing, a successful Greek concept at Meadowhall, lessons from Wetherspoon's standards and value focus, and the financial importance of repeat customers.

Most challenger founders assume international expansion should happen in neat, logical steps. New Zealand → Australia → UK → US. But Lisa's view was different, and that's why it's so interesting: In fact, conventional FMCG wisdom tells us to prove your business in nearby markets first. But founder Lisa King of Free AF Drinks ignored that advice!  After building a 40% share brand in New Zealand, Lisa decided to skip Australia entirely and went straight after the most competitive drinks market in the world...the USA!Why? --> If the ambition was always to build a globally valuable business, she asked herself why spend years proving the model somewhere that wasn't ultimately where the biggest opportunity sat?In this brilliant conversation with Kiwi female founder Lisa, you'll hear how today AF Drinks is stocked in more than 4,500 stores across the US, including Target, Walmart, Whole Foods and Kroger, and just HOW they're doing it. We discuss why she made they made the decision they did, how Pernod Ricard Ventures invested before the US launch, what it really takes to build a beverage brand in America, why alcohol-free RTD cocktails are outperforming expectations, and the lessons founders should understand before attempting to scale internationally.Lisa takes us through a masterclass in the realities of the beverage market in the United States; Why alcohol-free RTD cocktails are growing faster than many expected and finally, how she has approached fundraising, equity and scaling internationally!Key Topics Discussed Alcohol-free drinks category growth  Building challenger brands internationally  International expansion & export to USA   Listings with Target, Walmart, Whole Foods and Kroger  US grocery retail Walmart and Target listings  Fundraising and investor strategy  Pernod Ricard Ventures investment  Beverage category economics  Product innovation, IP & technology  Ready-to-drink cocktails  Scaling consumer brands globally  Founder leadership  Building brands from New Zealand USEFUL LINKSAF Drinks WebsiteAF Drinks InstagramLike this episode?PLEASE share the love by sharing this episode with another founder building a challenger brand, a colleague or a mate who loves brilliant non-alcoholic drinks, or anyone trying to work out how to build a consumer packaged goods business.Don't forget to FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to Brand Growth Heroes on your favourite podcast app, and even LEAVE A REVIEW - both of these actions make a MASSIVE difference to our mission to help more founders just like you.Follow usInstagram (https://www.instagram.com/brandgrowthheroes)LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-growth-heroes/?viewAsMember=true)Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@brandgrowthheroes)Find out more about the programmes and courses Fiona runs here (https://www.brandgrowthheroes.com/mini-mba-2026)Join the NextGen CPG WhatsApp group for founders leaning in to the value that a leadership approach to engaging with AI can unlock for businesses like yours.*** Thanks to Brand Growth Heroes' podcast sponsor - Joelson, the commercial law firm ***If you're a founder, you already know how much energy goes into building the perfect product, creating standout branding and connecting with consumers.But scaling a CPG business also brings legal complexities that can make or break your growth journey - from contracts and regulatory compliance to protecting your intellectual property.That's why I'm proud to partner with Joelson, the leading commercial law firm specialising in helping founders of scaling consumer brands.Joelson works with brands like Little Moons, Trip, Eat Natural, Bear Graze and Pulsin, and advised the innocent founders on their landmark sale to Coca-Cola - and still work with them at JamJar Investments today!Joelson is offering a FREE LEGAL CONSULTATION to all BGH listeners (mailto:hello@joelsonlaw.com) - I honestly recommend you take them up on it, they're brilliant.CREDITSThanks to our Sound Engineer Gyp Buggane at Ballagroove.com 

What if being unstoppable has less to do with confidence and more to do with self-awareness? I had the pleasure of sitting down with Zarko Dimitrioski, a media entrepreneur, actor, talk show host, and marketing agency founder from Macedonia. Zarko shares how growing up as a child television star shaped his confidence, the lessons he learned about ego and leadership, and why experience is often the greatest teacher. We explore marketing, branding, mentorship, business growth, and the value of listening before speaking. Zarko explains how companies build lasting brands, why accountability matters, and how entrepreneurs can thrive even in smaller markets. Along the way, we discuss family, responsibility, personal growth, and what it truly means to develop an unstoppable mindset. I believe you will find his insights on leadership, branding, communication, and lifelong learning both practical and inspiring. Highlights: 01:45 - How a childhood acting career sparked a lifelong passion for media and communication. 07:08 - Why confidence without self-awareness can become a liability. 16:32 - Lessons from the Kellogg School of Management that still shape business decisions today. 21:58 - Why listening beats talking in business, leadership, and life. 35:08 - How strong brands grow through awareness, not just loyalty programs. 01:05:02 - The three traits Zarko looks for when mentoring future leaders. About the Guest: Zarko Dimitrioski is a Macedonian entrepreneur, marketer, and talk-show host who helps brands turn attention into sales.

A lifelong student of behavioral economics and effectiveness, Zarko designs work that reduces friction, frames value intelligently and moves real numbers. He's passionate about inclusive, accessible content—because it's both right and higher-performing. Building from a small market taught him focus, pragmatism, and speed.
