CPG’s Latest Playbook: Agility, Automation, & Data-Driven Strategy

Agility continues to be the word of the moment if CPGs ever expect to keep up in today’s constantly changing marketplace and economy. Brands need to adapt with consumer behavior in order to effectively engage in this cluttered environment. Though fighting for attention isn’t enough, CPGs that win product discovery and drive customer retention will be the ones to succeed.

As inflation cools, it seems consumers have permanently changed their shopping habits. They continue to purchase private labels, and often times when they do buy from brands, they opt for the one with the most compelling value proposition.

Consumers are also demanding to look behind the curtain. How are products made? Are they sustainable? Are they true to their customers’ values? Showing brand purpose can not only make CPGs stand out from the crowd but drive loyalty and LTV as well.

It’s imperative that brands stay on top of what people are thinking and doing in order to keep up. The challenge is with data restrictions and growing competition, achieving that level of personalization can be a challenge. So how do you do it? How do you acquire enough data and insights to stay on top of consumers’ needs?

Whether it’s leveraging the latest tech and innovations, engaging with RMNs and other partnerships, or investing on emerging channels, it’s time for CPG brands to step out of their comfort zone and test new opportunities!



We Will Explore:


  • Incorporating Generative AI and Data Tech with omnichannel media planning
  • RMNs impact on data-driven media channels
  • Leveraging AI-powered customer personas to uncover actionable insights
  • Tactics for building first-party data and loyalty
  • Brand partnerships
  • Unraveling consumer’s journey and complex multi-channel framework
  • Social commerce
  • Shift to DTC model to build customer relationships
  • Marketing Sustainability and Brand Purpose

In case studies, discussion sessions, and MediaPost's signature roundtables, we will bring some of the most advanced CPG brands together to share best practices and discuss the tools, channels, and strategies that are proving most effective for reaching today’s audience.

Panel: Content and Context - Navigating CPG Marketing in the Post-Cookie Era
Historically CPGs have targeted consumers based on demographics and behavior. Now thanks to cookie deprecation, CPG brands are turning back to contextual marketing, creating partnerships, and mining their own first and zero-party data. But how are planners making their campaigns more effective, automating, and optimizing? What targeting options and solutions are they testing? Are they prioritizing consumers and how are they engaging with them without seeming invasive? Our panel of CPG marketers will break it all down for us.
