The FMCG Marketing Daily — May 23, 2026 The essential daily briefing for brand managers and marketers in consumer goods. In today's episode: • French's is turning its iconic yellow mustard green for a film tie-in — a bold test of how far a heritage condiment brand can stretch its distinctive asset without breaking it. • PepsiCo's ten-year licensing extension with its largest bottling partner in India signals a major strategic commitment to one of the world's fastest-growing beverage markets. • Skittles is doubling down on its long-running surreal brand voice to launch a new gummy sub-line — a case study in using tonal consistency to expand into adjacent formats without diluting brand identity. Fun fact: Coca-Cola spends more on advertising than Microsoft and Apple combined. In 2023 alone, the company spent over four billion dollars just to remind people that fizzy drinks exist.
