What do you get when you mix a business anthropologist with international-scale influencers? You get a perspective you're not likely to find on your normal podcast!
Today's guest is cultural anthropologist turned business strategist Dr. James Richardson of Premium Growth Solutions. James is an expert in consumer packaged goods. This topic is a little off the beaten path of what we typically do here, but the lessons apply to marketing and strategy if you're in B2B.
He has helped nearly 100 CPG brands with their strategic planning, including brands owned by Coca-Cola Venturing and Emerging Brands, The Hershey Company, General Mills, and Frito-Lay, as well as other emerging brands such as Once Upon a Farm, Dr. Squatch Soap, Proven skincare, Rebel creamery, and June Shine kombucha.
James is the author of Ramping Your Brand: How to Ride the Killer CPG Growth Curve, an award-winning, best-selling business book on Amazon. He also hosts his podcast—Startup Confidential.
