UK Inflation, Amazon Innovation, and the End of Copy-Paste Calendars
Description
This week on FMCG Weekly, we explore Amazon’s strategic launch of its first FMCG-focused promotion week in Germany, signaling a major push into everyday essentials and retail media. We also dive into Kraft Heinz’s ongoing strategic overhaul amid declining revenues and Berkshire Hathaway’s board exit. In the UK, inflation surges to 3.5% are reshaping consumer behavior and pressuring margins. Finally, we introduce the idea of a “Promo Reset”—a radical rethinking of FMCG promotional strategy that demands zero-based planning and a sharper focus on shopper-driven, data-informed value creation. It’s time to challenge the status quo of promotion planning.
