Description

Most brands treat consumer feedback like a necessary evil. Chris Bellinger, Chief Creative Officer at PepsiCo Foods US, reveals how top creative teams turn feedback into their secret weapon. Chris bridges the gap between bold creative vision and consumer truth, transforming how iconic brands like Lay's and Doritos connect with audiences.

In this episode hosted by Nataly Kelly, CMO at Zappi, Chris walks us through the strategies and tactics that will save your best creative ideas from dying in focus groups.

Discover Chris' 70-20-10 framework for balancing proven strategies with breakthrough risks, learn the "bulletproofing" method that strengthens ideas without killing creativity, and understand why the best feedback comes from in-environment testing rather than traditional focus groups.
