Description

Big Milk is back. đŸ„›


In this episode, Avery breaks down how challenger brands can stand out when they’re up against legacy giants.


Using Oatly’s cheeky, copy-driven approach as a case study, she explores what it really takes to differentiate, from breaking category conventions and rethinking PDPs to using humor and design as your secret weapons.

If you’re fighting for attention in a space dominated by the “big guys,” this episode’s for you.
