The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Doug VandeVelde, Chief Growth Officer at WK Kellogg Co, manufacturer of an iconic brand portfolio including Kellogg's Frosted Flakes®, Rice Krispies®, Froot Loops®, Kashi®, Special K®, Kellogg's Raisin Bran®, and Bear Naked®.Follow Doug on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-vandeveldeFollow WK Kellogg Co online at: https://www.wkkellogg.com/Doug answered these questions:95% of Americans are missing their daily fiber, but nobody goes to a Super Bowl party looking for a "health lecture." Why was 2026 the specific moment you decided to use the world's loudest stage to talk about the "Fiber Gap"?Fiber has historically been marketed as a functional necessity for the "older" demographic. How are you using this campaign to pivot the narrative from a "health trend" to a "tasty daily routine" for everyone from Gen Z to Boomers?You partnered with Gary Vaynerchuk's team to bring humor and high-profile talent to a topic as "unsexy" as gut health. How do you, as a 25-year CPG veteran, balance the "legacy brand guardrails" of Kellogg's with the fast-paced, "attention-first" creative style of VaynerMedia?You chose a regional and streaming-first buy for the Big Game rather than a traditional national spot. As Chief Growth Officer, how did you justify the "reach vs. precision" trade-off to your board?Gut health can be clinical and boring. Talk to me about the decision-making process behind using humor. Does "funny" actually move units of Raisin Bran and Mini-Wheats, or is it just about winning the "Ad Meter" rankings?With a streaming-first approach, you have more data than a traditional TV buy. How is WK Kellogg using real-time signals from this campaign to adjust shelf-level execution in the weeks following the game?You've been in this game for over 25 years. What is the one "old school" CPG rule you had to break to make this 2026 Super Bowl campaign a reality?When you go big on a Super Bowl scale, the pressure on the supply chain is immense. How did the $500M modernization of your plants allow you to "lean in" to this demand spike in a way you couldn't have three years ago?Before the campaign went live, did you use AI-driven "attention analytics" or "predictive creative" tools to ensure the humor would land across different demographics, or was this a "gut-feel" (pun intended) decision?If this "Fiber Gap" campaign succeeds, you aren't just selling boxes of cereal—you're changing a category's trajectory. Is the future of WK Kellogg less about "Breakfast" and more about "Functional Wellness"?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

In this episode of the Loan Officer Podcast, hosts Dustin Owen, Marketing Mike, and Special K engage in a lively and insightful debate centered around the popular saying, "the riches are in the niches," and whether this concept truly applies to loan officers in the mortgage industry. Dustin Owen takes the stance that the most successful and highest-producing loan officers tend to achieve their results by focusing on the core, mainstream loan products such as conventional loans, FHA loans, VA loans, and jumbo loans, rather than by specializing in narrow or highly specific loan niches. He argues that while niche products can be appealing, the bread and butter of a top producer's business comes from mastering and consistently delivering on these foundational loan types. On the other hand, Marketing Mike brings a different perspective to the discussion, drawing from his expertise in marketing strategy. He emphasizes the importance of identifying and targeting specific buyer personas, suggesting that loan officers can set themselves apart and grow their business by tailoring their marketing efforts to attract certain segments of the market. According to Mike, developing a niche can mean understanding the unique needs and preferences of a particular group of clients and crafting messages and services that resonate with them, ultimately leading to more effective marketing and stronger client relationships. As the conversation unfolds, Dustin offers a reframing of what it means to have a "niche" in the mortgage business. He suggests that a niche is not necessarily defined by the types of loan products a loan officer offers, but rather by the personality, service processes, and overall approach that naturally attract a certain type of client. Dustin cautions loan officers against constantly chasing after the latest trends or so-called "shiny objects" in the industry, warning that this can distract from the real opportunities that already exist within their current business and client base. Instead, he encourages loan officers to focus on refining their processes, building authentic relationships, and leveraging their unique strengths to serve the clients who are the best fit for their style and expertise. Ultimately, the episode provides valuable insights into how loan officers can think about niches, marketing, and long-term success in a competitive industry. TLOP's Originator Coaching:

The Stupid History of Special KBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-stupid-history-minute--4965707/support.
Kristen Wager introduces a new method of monetizing recipes called Recifix and shows us how to build a more stable and diversified food blog business in the face of AI and traffic volatility. Kristen is a PhD-trained consumer insights leader with deep expertise in the creator economy. Over the past decade, she's led research initiatives at Kellogg's Company supporting top CPG brands like Special K, Cheez-It, and Morning Star. Most recently she built research programs for the top 100 food creators at Raptive where she gained firsthand insight into the food creator ecosystem and the challenges creators face. That experience led her to create Recifix - a cleaner, calmer way to find, plan, and share ad-free recipes, all while supporting the creators behind them. Relying on Google traffic alone is becoming increasingly risky. This episode explains what is actually changing in search, why AI is accelerating that shift, and how experienced bloggers can build stronger revenue streams that are not dependent on algorithms. Key Topics Discussed: - Traffic from search is not owned and can disappear without warning. - AI is reducing clicks by delivering answers without sending users to blogs. - Real diversification means adding new revenue streams not just new platforms. - Email lists and direct audience relationships protect your business. - Subscription based models create compounding and recurring income. - Trust with your audience is your strongest long term competitive advantage.

Karl "Special K" Douglas of the Rickey Smiley Morning Show recently chopped it up with The Madd Hatta on the Madd Hatta Show and shared a humorous and insightful story about his accidental foray into comedy and the unusual source of his encouragement. Special K reveals his introduction to comedy was by accident. He says he was a dancer and while superstar comedian Sommore, who hosted the male strip shows that he was funny. After observing him, she pull him to the side to give him a piece of advice. Special K states, "Sommore told me to keep it moving in this business. Get my weight up, get some practice under your belt and I'll put you on the road. She did just that. *Sidenote* Honestly, I'm not sure if he was a dancer and he was just being funny but it was a funny anecdote. It turns out she was right about his future as he has carved a successful stand up and morning show co-host career on the number one syndicated radio show in the country. Special K also has a new book, "Man Laws: The Unquestionable Rules for Real Men, by Real Men," a collection of humorous, "common sense" rules and etiquette designed for men, stemming from his popular "Man Law" segment on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show. It serves as a pocket guide to navigating life with "masculine" standards, covering what constitutes a "Man Law Violation".

This week we celebrate two years of 99 Cent Rental with one of the most enduring cult movies of the 80's. It's the breakdance epic from Cannon, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. When Cannon's million dollar dance movie pulled a huge profit in the summer of 1984, they rushed a sequel into production to capture the momentum and mere months later released Breakin' 2 with a bigger budget and a significantly smaller box office return. Breakdance fever was over but this outrageous, extremely colorful sequel stuck out in the cultural memory thanks to its ridiculous name and silly premise and we love it. Months after Special K, Ozone, and Turbo proved to the stuffy world of white people dance competitions that breakdance is dancing too, Kelly returns to Venice to catch up with her friends and finds out that everyone in Venice is now hanging out at a community center called Miracles where they all learn to dance, box, and do mime stuff. Wouldn't you know it, though? Here come some white people with designs on tearing down the community center so it's up to the TKO Crew to rally the community to raise the money they need to save Miracles. They'll overcome all obstacles with the power of breakdance.
