Published 4 days, 5 hours ago
Description

Coca-Cola just seized one of the biggest foodservice pouring contracts in the US from PepsiCo. Plus, AB InBev gets a regulatory wake-up call on BeatBox design — and what it means for every FMCG brand borrowing youth-coded visuals.

In this episode:

  • Coca-Cola is set to become the exclusive beverage supplier to KFC's entire US restaurant estate, displacing PepsiCo from one of the largest quick-service pouring contracts in the country.
  • The UK's Portman Group ruled that AB InBev's BeatBox flavoured alcohol packaging is likely to appeal to under-18s, ordering a full redesign to comply with its Code of Practice.
  • Jenna Bromberg, former CMO of Papa Johns, has been appointed CMO of Arby's effective November 2, with an explicit mandate to rebalance brand-building against short-term sales growth as parent company Inspire Brands eyes a potential IPO.
