The Post-Appetite Consumer: A Brand Genetics Briefing
This article is part of our series on Winning in the post-appetite environment: GLP-1. You can view the full series or download the report.
How hungry brands can win in a new context
GLP-1s are not just a diet trend, they are a biological rewiring of your customer. The era of “volume-based growth” with this expanding audience is over.
The Tsunami is Here
For decades, the industry has operated on a simple premise: sell more.
That model is breaking. The rapid adoption of GLP-1 medication is fundamentally rewiring the rules of consumption. This is a seismic shift that is projected to erase billions from balance sheets by 2030.
But where there is disruption, there is opportunity. The consumer isn’t disappearing, but evolving, empowered by control, confidence and transformation.
After undertaking proprietary research that puts real human experiences at the heart of the story, we have distilled the insight into a blueprint for success that is grounded in the Drivers, eNablers and Abilities of behaviour.
What You Will Learn
In this 60-minute briefing, we will be cutting through the media noise and shotgun statistics to shine a light on the development within deep human motivations that are driving this shift.
We will provide a clear, honest look at the changing landscape and a practical guide to navigating it.
To do so, this session will provide:
- The Casualty Report: A brutally honest audit of the landscape, and identifiers of which categories facing existential threats and which are primed for growth.
- Meet the “Revisionist”: Why your new customer is rejecting “healthier” tweaks to old products and demanding products that support their new identity.
- The 4-Strategy Blueprint: From “The Companion” to “The Ghost”, a practical framework to future-proof your portfolio against the shift.
- Q&A: cut out the guess work with a chance to dive into the insight and have your burning questions answered
Join us for a live conversation between Tom Ellis and Mia Christophers as they outline how to win in this new environment, as we move away from “sell more volume” to “sell transformation”.
