✨💡 #FollowTheLeader: What does it mean to bring your magic? Just ask happy® founder Craig Dubitsky. Endlessly inspirational, full of insight, and a real impact player, Craig is all about leading with kindness and heart. 🫶 Follow him for creative brand building advice, innovative ideas, and generous positivity. 💭 We love this fun fact: "If Craig could only take three things to a desert island (not including his bride, kiddos, Labradoodle, and cats), it’d be an acoustic guitar, a pad, and a pen... sushi and a pizza simply wouldn’t travel as well." #leadership #BrandBuilding #GrowthMindset #ConsumerBrands #founders #founder

📰💡 Start spreading the news: networking is back. But did it ever go away? In the business of hiring, it's personal. Relationships matter. Who you know matters. We're all about making connections, and that's something that even the best technology (sorry, AI) doesn't always get right. What do you think? Is 'who-you-know networking' back? How are you approaching hiring?
New from me and Callum Borchers: Who-you-know networking is back. Behind the resurgence: frustration with the digital slog that bogs down U.S. hiring. In Q1 of this year, referrals made up 5% of the outside applicants to jobs on the Greenhouse Software platform — but 30% of the eventual hires. Many hiring managers and applicants agree that the ease with which job hunters can respond to help-wanted postings has broken the online-application process by creating high volumes of candidates that hiring managers can’t hope to parse through. Meanwhile, applicants say automatic screening tools are shutting them out of opportunities. “There’s an idealist in me that wants to look at all the résumés,” one hiring manager says. “The reality is you just can’t.” https://lnkd.in/eTz6mkJ7

📣 We're thrilled to collaborate with Jeff Church for the CPG Brand Accelerator this fall. Join our Co-Founder and Chief Progress Officer Sean Conner in October for a panel discussion about the state of consumer brand talent. Stay tuned for more details! 🚀 Learn more about the accelerator here: https://forceb.co/3KHnkQ5
It is with great respect and heartfelt joy that I announce our Fall speaker list for the CPG Brand Accelerator. Each of these nine individuals has profoundly impacted me both personally and professionally. I am beyond thrilled to have them involved in the program and to consider them good friends. Years ago, as I navigated and learned everything about the CPG industry, these kind souls were there to guide me, helping me avoid the not-so-obvious bear traps that often ensnare early-stage founders. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing more about these incredible CPG entrepreneurs and, more importantly, highlighting their remarkable qualities as friends and human beings. Stay tuned to learn more about our upcoming panel being represented by Ryan Lewendon of Giannuzzi Lewendon, LLP, Justin Prochnow of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Becky Nelson Dahl of BEXBRANDS, Dwight Richmond of Town & Country Markets, Max Baumann of Basemakers, Sean Conner of ForceBrands, Michael Burgmaier of Whipstitch Capital, Mark Rampolla of GroundForce Capital and Seth Goldman of Eat the Change! #cpg #accelerator #consulting

✨💡 #FollowTheLeader: If you're seeking entrepreneurial pearls of wisdom, advice on brand building, and leadership insights about how to nurture and develop talent, John Foraker, Co-Founder and CEO at Once Upon a Farm, is one to follow. 💭 "What's particularly important to me? Building a culture that encourages creativity, innovation, willingness to risk failure, deep partnerships, doing the unexpected, operational transparency, a sense of humor, and bringing out the passion in others. My most important values? Honesty, and always trying to do the right thing, even and especially when no one is looking." #leadership #BrandBuilding #GrowthMindset #ConsumerBrands
On June 20, 2006 I opened an email attachment from an unknown teenager who was mad that a relative of his was working on a big CPG competitor to his beloved organic mac & cheese brand. This picture & note rocked my Annie's Inc. world. We'd been competing against Kraft-owned Back to Nature Foods for some time, and were doing well against that threat. But Kraft Heinz "Blue Box", itself, was coming right at us? Holy Sxxt, Existential threat... I freaked out for an hour, then got to work with the team. We guessed we'd have about 6-9 months before this showed up in market. We had to move fast. We developed an aggressive plan: 1) sharpen & tell our brand leadership story better, 2) develop & launch a couple mild-flavored mainstream items (took less than 60 days), and 3) sell as passionately & as hard as we could. Our message to retailers was "Kraft coming into #organic is great, it means this now is a mainstream thing like we've been saying, oh, and we are the #1 brand. We now belong in the mainline set right next to them" It worked. We got out to retailers & positioned for impact. Kraft came in, and indeed grew a sizeable business, but our business grew much faster as the sub-category was validated and consumers became more aware of organic Mac & Cheese as a choice. Our "blue" items were a huge hit. Our company galvanized and focused for battle in a way that is hard to describe unless you've been through it. Competition is a great thing. It makes you so much more focused, action-oriented, and consumer-first. #emergingbrands have a huge agility & speed advantage that they must use every day in order to level the field against massive #cpg brands & their impressive global capabilities. Nothing sharpens the mind, focus, and pace like a terminal threat to your brand's position in the marketplace.
