Description
The FMCG Marketing Daily — August 03, 2026
In this episode:
• Danone's CEO is publicly framing Huel and Alpro as a coherent portfolio play, giving brand managers a live case study in how to justify challenger-brand acquisitions without cannibalising existing equity.
• Lawsuits against Nike and Lululemon for inflating 'original' prices to manufacture fake discounts are a direct warning shot for FMCG brand managers who use promotional pricing as a brand equity tool.
• Unilever securing European worker commitments ahead of its food business merger with McCormick marks a critical milestone in one of the biggest FMCG brand portfolio restructurings of the decade.
