#181 – Plant-Based Brands: High on Purpose, Low on Vibes
Update: 2024-09-08
Description
If vibes can play a big role in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Elections, shouldn't we examine their role in food choices?
This episode discusses why the plant-based food industry's focus on branding plant-based meat by emphasizing environmental and health benefits has failed to resonate with a consumers. A more effective branding strategy for alternative protein involves focusing on the "vibes"—the emotional and cultural context associated with food—rather than just facts and figures, aiming to make plant-based options feel more appealing and culturally relevant to diverse consumer groups.
