Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
AB InBev is drawing brand boundaries in spirits, creators are demanding equity stakes from FMCG partners, and France's back-to-school slump is flashing warning signs for Danone, Nestlé and L'Oréal.
In this episode:
- AB InBev settled its trademark dispute with US vodka brand Stateside without a public ruling, signalling how the world's largest brewer is actively protecting its brand identity as it expands into spirits.
- Creators are increasingly demanding equity stakes or angel-style deals instead of flat sponsorship fees, forcing FMCG brands like Unilever and Henkel to rethink the structure and value of influencer partnerships.
- French FMCG household spending rose just 0.8% during the back-to-school period, one of the strongest seasonal windows of the year, raising concerns for brands including Danone, Nestlé and L'Oréal that rely on French domestic volumes.
