Episode notes
This episode of FMCG Weekly dives into the latest earnings from Heineken and Coca-Cola, revealing key strategies driving their success. Despite inflation concerns, both giants exceeded expectations by leveraging premiumisation, strategic pricing, and non-alcoholic product growth. We also explore a striking consumer perception gap - people believe inflation is much higher than it actually is. What does this mean for FMCG brands? We break down how companies can balance pricing, maintain trust, and drive profitability in a shifting market. Tune in for insights on pricing power, consumer behaviour, and the future of brand positioning in a competitive landscape.
