# The Daily Trend Report with giovanni gallucci: October 23, 2026 Good morning. This is giovanni gallucci, joined by Chloe Dawn and Rachel Donovan, and this is the Daily Trend Report. Morning, giovanni. ## In this episode **Social Media.** Eddie flagged this one first. Meta put out its third-quarter numbers this week, and everybody wrote about the revenue. **Clean Label Food and Beverage.** Eddie brought me this one. Dan-O's Seasoning, out of Kentucky, raised twenty-five million dollars from The Newcastle Network. **Content Creation Tactics.** Travis flagged this one, and Eddie had it too. Courvoisier, the cognac, launched its first global campaign in about twenty years on Tuesday. ## Quick takeaways - Every day this week, shoot one thing before noon and post it before five, made that day, no scheduler. - Grade every Reel on its first twenty-four hours, and keep same-day posts and scheduled posts in separate columns. - Turn this morning's Reel caption into one opinionated sentence on Threads, with no link. - Name the three meals your product already shows up in, and put the meal in the post title, chili night, never "bold seasoning." - Ask your comments what night of the week they use you, and build next month's posts on the top two answers. - Film the whole dinner, start to plate, in under a minute, with the product on screen for three seconds instead of thirty. - Pick one object, your jar, your can, your bag, and plan a shoot where it passes through eight sets of hands. - Give every handoff its own clip, one person, one sentence, under fifteen seconds, so one afternoon fills two weeks. - Post the empty one coming back to the counter last, and pin it. ## Sources cited - Daily cross-LLM trend reports: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Copilot ## About the show The Daily Trend Report is a daily briefing on social media, clean-label food and beverage, and content, social, and AI for operators.

giovanni gallucci spent two days on the floor at Rooted Expo, the first year of Texas' homegrown CPG trade show at the Irving Convention Center in Las Colinas, and asked every founder the same question: if you could snap your fingers and fix one thing in your business, what would it be? You can't say money. Rachel Donovan and Chloe Dawn followed along from Marfa and dig into every conversation. Brands in this episode: Tastelli, Baked Honest Co, RAIN Bottling Company, Blue Durango Iced Tea, Calaveras Energy, Brisket Boss, Bird and Co, Santa Gula, Melto, Vato Blanco, Magnetic Beverage, Primal Eats, Grubb's Gourmet, Ventures Food and Beverage (Nature's Twist and Clean), Happify Earth, Barritt's Ginger Beer and Tierra Negra. What came up again and again: H-E-B as the gravity every booth orbits, Central Market as the front door, the AI content split (all in, stills only, tried it and quit), founders as the face of the brand, and picking one city to win before chasing the next. gallucci.net | DM @gallucciNET on Instagram or LinkedIn . . . | Strategy and creative are mine.
