Latest Updates

As we wrote earlier this year, category leaders get a default advantage when AI assistants make recommendations, but that advantage still has to be earned with the right content. Cabot's ongoing retainer with Barrel gave us the opportunity to test that thesis directly.

How We Helped Cabot Creamery Build AI Authority in a Competitive Category

Black Friday/Cyber Monday (BFCM) inboxes are noisy. The brands that break through aren't the ones yelling louder; rather they're the ones that make each customer feel like the message was made specifically for them, even at scale. Here's how we've seen top CPG brands in food & beverage, beauty & skincare, healthy & wellness, and home, family, & pet leverage personalization across every major channel.

Personalization at Scale: Email, SMS, Push, and Onsite

A strong gift guide can solve that problem directly, turning a crowded catalog into a handful of clear, confident choices. Last Black Friday/Cyber Monday (BFCM) season, 73% of shoppers said they welcome inspiration from retailers when planning gift purchases.

Gift Guides for BFCM: Guiding Shoppers Through the Holiday Rush

Black Friday/Cyber Monday (BFCM) is a carefully timed rollout, and the brands that come out ahead are the ones that structure their marketing planning across the months leading up to the most important sales season of the year. Here's how we recommend breaking down the work, phase by phase.

Your BFCM Roadmap: What to Do in August, September, October, and November

A strong user experience (UX) audit is a structured look at whether a site supports the brand's customer journey, especially heading into a high-traffic moment like Black Friday/Cyber Monday (BFCM).Here are the questions we always ask when preparing site audits for our CPG brands in food & beverage, beauty & skincare, healthy & wellness, and home, family & pet.

What We Ask in Every UX Audit

There is a more strategic way to think about BFCM: treat the weeks around the sales period as a content and merchandising opportunity, not a single sale event. Instead of one offer, build a calendar of offers including bundles, gifts-with-purchase, limited editions, and early access drops that connect back to your brand's story. When a discount does show up, it should be attached to something specific, not applied storewide.

Beyond the Discount: Building a BFCM Campaign That Reflects Your Brand Story

If you want subscribers who convert during Black Friday/Cyber Monday (BFCM), the incentive to sign-up needs to be clear, exclusive, and tied to something tangible. Here are the acquisition tactics we see working for CPG brands right now.

Lead Magnets, Quizzes, and Gated Content: Smarter List Growth for CPG Brands

We're doing something different this Black Friday/Cyber Monday (BFCM). Val Geisler, our Director of Strategy, and Christine Carforo, our Director of Design, are running a live, unscripted live site audit of one submitted brand's site, recorded and shared publicly, ahead of the BFCM code freeze.
