  • 4.SPENDING IS SHIFTING TO THE INNOVATIVE Share of Category Growth for U.S. Food & Beverage Manufacturers 0.03 0.23 0.49 0.25 Small Manufacturers (Top 101 and Below) Mid-Tier Manufacturers (Top 26-100) Retailers (Via Private Label) Large Manufacturers (Top 25)Source:Nielsen 2016 Breakthrough Innovation Report, U.S. Edition BE NIMBLE • Big-player manufacturers have struggled to keep pace with smaller players across all price tiers • In the U.S., the 25 largest food and beverage companies drove only 3% of the total category growth from 2011 to 2015 • Existing brand equities/images for larger companies are often inconsistent with the shifting consumer mindset in the marketplace – struggle to establish a new offering as premium • Smaller companies build brand and product perceptions simultaneously, so it can more easily adapt to consumer demand
  • 5.SUCCESSFUL INNOVATION KEYS TO SUCCESS • Reimagine traditional category definitions Launch • Quickly size the white space, understanding incrementality • Create a highly differentiated offering – resolve a real consumer struggle • Identify attributes and benefits that distinguish products as premium (emphasize quality, function, design) Expand Evaluate • Ensure the product lives up to the promise - higher prices set a higher bar for product performance • Ensure the price is right - premium prices can vary significantly within most categories Accelerate/ Adjust/ Abandon • Activate in a way that amplifies the product’s unique proposition • Fail fast – continuous evaluation, adjust or pivot quickly • Provide sustained, long-term support
