Behavioral Science For Brands: Leveraging behavioral science in brand marketing.
In this episode, we explore how Oatly became a billion-dollar brand by using behavioral science in clever, unexpected ways. We unpack how the launch of their Barista Edition—crafted specifically for coffee shops—tapped into the Messenger Effect, where who delivers a message matters as much as what is said. Along the way, we break down what makes a messenger truly persuasive—and how your brand can apply the same principles to win trust and grow.
Ahead of this year's future of food and beverage forum in Minneapolis, Innovation Forum's Anamya Anurag talks with some of the participants. She is joined by Julie Kunen from Oatly and Walmart's Michelle Zackin, and they discuss how food and beverage companies are integrating climate and nature-smart practices into supply chain strategies. They highlight how to align nature-based solutions with regenerative agriculture, and how the industry can drive circularity, risk reduction and collaboration across the value chain. Julie and Michelle will be at the future of food and beverage forum next week in Minneapolis (28-29 May). To continue the conversation, you can find full details on how to get involved.

Here's the latest CPG news happening right now on February 9th, 2025 including Big Olipop Raise, Chubby Snacks Shuts Down, Oatly Hits ProfitabilityPosted onJust-Drinks.Com, US functional soda brand Olipop has raised $50m in a Series C funding round, bringing its valuation to $1.85bn.JP Morgan Private Capital's Growth Equity Partners led the investment round.In a statement, Olipop said the cash injection marked its “final anticipated round of equity financing”, after becoming profitable “in early 2024”.Olipop plans to use the proceeds to “drive product development, expand marketing efforts and diversify distribution channels”.It also looks to bolster its retail presence, add new products to its range, and “increase availability in spaces traditionally dominated by legacy sodas”.Olipop CEO Ben Goodwin said: “It's staggering and thrilling to have achieved a $1.85bn valuation after just five to six short years in market”.Frozen PB&J maker Chubby Snacks has unfortunately shut down operations as of February 2025. Coming off of multiple record-breaking sales months, our Chubb-O-Matic finally hitting stride and major corporate partnerships on the horizon, we were served with our biggest blow to date, a lawsuit from our massive corporate rival.Entrepreneurs are constantly taking blows, but over the last few months, we faced the hardest hits of our career. We lost everything and unfortunately fell into some of the worst situations imaginable with some of our best partners. Words can't explain the embarrassment or anxiety.I share this because it's important. No one gets into business thinking they'd ever be in this position but if you do, you know it's utterly brutal. A lot of people were negatively affected, not just ourselves. I'm truly sorry to everyone that was affected by our downfall.Leading oat milk maker Oatly has hit profitability since going public for the first time. According toBevnet.com,

Folge 3/3: Mit dem Börsengang kippt die öffentliche Meinung zu Oatly. Statistiken zur Nachhaltigkeit werden vom Unternehmen falsch wiedergegeben, Abwasserskandale, staatliche chinesische Großinvestoren und die Unfähigkeit, eigene Produktionsstätten zu bauen schaden dem Ruf. Zu allem Überfluss steigt die traditionelle Milchindustrie ins Haferdrink-Geschäft ein und jagt Oatly mit Billigprodukten große Marktanteile ab. Die Schweden stehen am Scheideweg und müssen sich neu formieren, um nicht in die Katastrophe zu schlittern. +++ Alle Rabattcodes und Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern findest du hier: https://linktr.ee/kampfderunternehmen +++Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Mit frecher Werbung und jeder Menge kreativer Energie legt sich das kleine Unternehmen mit der mächtigen Milchindustrie an. Der mehrere Jahre dauernde Streit macht das Unternehmen über Schwedens Grenzen hinaus bekannt.

Folge 1/3: Oatly ist fast schon ein Synonym für Hafermilch - selbst für Nicht-Veganer. Aber was nur Wenige wissen: Die Erfolgsgeschichte der heutige Lifestyle-Marke begann als wissenschaftliches Projekt. In der neuen Staffel von "Kampf der Unternehmen" erzählen wir die Geschichte vom Aufstieg und Beinahe-Fall von Oatly. In der ersten Folge sind wir dabei, wenn Rickard Öste nach einer Milch-Alternative für laktoseintolerante Menschen sucht. 1994 wird dem Forscher dann klar, welches Potenzial in seinem Produkt steckt.

Plant-based milk has reached a point of maturation -- and Malk is helping take the products even more to the mainstream. The company launched in 2015, starting first in a farmer's market and expanding over a few years into retailers like Whole Foods and Sprouts. Now, the company's products -- which include almond, oat and cashew milk and creamers -- are sold in nearly 10,000 stores around the country and is the official alternative milk used in Erewhon smoothies. According to CEO Jason Bronstad, who joined the company in 2020, "[Grocery has] been the focus the entire time." It's a different track than competitors like Oatly, which grew thanks to distribution in cafes. "We believe that this product is for families," he said. "This product is for people at home." Bronstad joined the Modern Retail Podcast and discussed Malk's growth strategy and the plant-based milk space as a whole. Almond milk, for example, is still the biggest seller for both the industry and Malk. While oat was growing for a while, it began to lose its grounding over the last year over a growing consumer wariness of seed oils. While many plant-based milks do use seed oils, Malk doesn't. "Our job is to remind them that there is a great plant-based product that doesn't have the oils that they can stay in the family with," Bronstad said. But even with these consumer shifts, more people are seeking out these products. According to Bronstad, Malk is focused on finding what he describes as health-conscious consumers. "In every single grocery store in America, there is a health-conscious consumer looking to make a better decision for themselves and for their families," he said.
During Climate Week NYC, Dani sat down with Jason Buechel, CEO of Whole Foods Market. They discuss how emerging companies can differentiate themselves from their competitors in the marketplace, the value of a clear and powerful story when trying to reach eaters, and how brands can navigate an acquisition without losing sight of their mission. This conversation was part of a Summit for mission-driven brands co-hosted by Food Tank, Oatly, Vital Farms, Tony's Chocolonely, and King Arthur Baking Company.

He may be nicknamed “The Beverage Whisperer,” but when Ken Sadowsky speaks he's heard loud and clear. A longtime industry advisor and investor, Ken is one of the most respected and influential voices in the beverage business. Ken is currently the executive director of The Northeastern Independent Distributors Association, known as NIDA, a group of wholesalers that operate in states from Maine to Pennsylvania. He's also a senior advisor with Verlivest, the Belgium-based investment holding company founded by the owners of Anheuser-Busch InBev, which holds stakes in Oatly, Vita Coco and Hint Water. Ken is personally invested in and an advisor to several beverage companies including LifeAid, Icelandic Glacial, Recess and Dyla Brands. This episode is the third of a trilogy with Ken, who also joined us for conversations in 2016 and 2019. Ken and Taste Radio editor Ray Latif sample drinks representing fast-growing, bleeding-edge and established categories, including better-for-you sodas, cannabis libations, nonalcoholic cocktails, and shots of the juice variety. As they sip their way through a mish-mash of beverages, Ken shares his perspective on trendy concepts, package design, formulation his investment thesis, and successful retail strategies. Show notes: 0:35: Ken Sadowsky, The Beverage Whisperer – Ken and Ray engage in some Sox talk before they dive into a mass of beverages, foreign and domestic. Ken talks about cutting his teeth back in 1983 and his ability to understand what brands have what it takes to go from “the core consumer to the more consumer” and why he's not bullish on non-nutritive sugar alternatives. They sip on some Chamberlain Coffee and chat about how the cold brew coffee category has morphed and whether non-alcoholic cocktails are – at this point – more sizzle than steak. Ken also explains why he's a fan of entrepreneurs with industry experience and why it's important to be nice to your distributors, before sipping on Olipop's limited-edition Barbie collaboration and sharing his take on the future of better-for-you sodas. He also admits to being an “illegal cannabis consumer” (not really), why you should sample beverages warm, getting retailers to merchandise your brand in two locations and the Catch-22 of fundraising.

We are all excited to watch our pod guest, USA Olympian, Kristen Faulkner compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Road Race. Reposting this convo. When Kristen Faulkner moved to New York City to pursue her career in finance and venture capital, she thought getting into the sport of triathlon would be a fun athletic activity. She already loved running and swimming and was on the varsity teams in high school. She was also on the varsity rowing team while studying at Harvard. Clearly athletics was in her DNA. Cycling however was her weakest link, so she joined a local cycling organization here in New York City to improve her technique and confidence on the bike. Kristen is now on Team EF-Oatly-Cannondale as of 2024. Kristen and I sync up about what it was like growing up in Homer, Alaska, moving to NYC, then California, and now living in Girona, Spain. We talk about she loves about cycling, how she went from recreational cyclist and a career in venture capital and finance to becoming a professional cyclist. We discuss our mutual love of Zwift and how she got in to E-racing, she talks about her love of gravel cycling and I get the scoop on what she reading and watching when shes not on her bike! Kristen and I caught up before the official teams were announced for the the tour and she was about to compete in the Tour de Suisse, where she came in second overall final. Some other 2022 race stats include two stage wins at Giro Donne and third overall at Itzulia Womens Stage Race.

Can we blame those “turn ahead the clock” Seattle Mariners uniforms from 1998 for minor league baseball creating a 121st team this year sponsored by Oatly? Because it was that fun (and successful) one-off promotion that led to MLB creating a league-wide version the following year…complete with a corporate advertiser, Century 21, which is why the futuristic uniforms were supposedly based on the year 2021. But the idea behind the Malmö Oat Milkers required a little “outside the carton” thinking for Oatly. See…those one-off food themed jerseys (that Oatly's marketing team enjoyed) are based on each team's local culture, but that's an issue for the Swedish plant-based milk brand. So, their solution was to have every existing minor league baseball team transform into the Oat Milkers for one game this season. So, which CPG brand is up next?

The UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme has been running for over 6 years now, with thousands of people counting insects in gardens, parks and on farms. So how are our pollinators faring?We visit a network of connected land in Ayrshire, designed to encourage pollinators. The network is being expanded after receiving funding from the Scottish Government. It was set up over the last decade or so, and includes farmland, council land and some unexpected leisure areas.And according to a recent study from the charity the Farm Safety Foundation, 95% of UK farmers under the age of 40 rank poor mental health as the biggest hidden problem facing farmers today. Farmstrong Scotland is doing what it can to help, by organising events where people can get together to discuss wellbeing. We report from one of them - on a farm in East Lothian, which has a recently opened outdoor sauna.Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio Bristol by Heather Simons
