On-Demand Talent: Workload Surge Coverage for CPG Food

Challenge

In the highly competitive world of Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) food, staying ahead of trends is essential for maintaining market leadership. This challenge was evident for a major global food company, which relied on both its North American and EMEA teams to develop comprehensive annual trends presentations. These presentations are not just routine reports—they are strategic tools that inform critical decisions across the organization, shaping everything from product development to marketing strategies.

However, as the teams delved into the immense amount of data and information required for these presentations, it became clear that the task was overwhelming. The data to be synthesized was vast, spanning multiple markets and requiring a nuanced understanding of diverse consumer behaviors and market dynamics. The in-house teams, already stretched thin, faced the daunting task of distilling this complex information into a clear, compelling narrative. They needed a solution that would enable them to focus on the strategic elements of the presentation while ensuring that the tedious yet critical work of data synthesis was handled efficiently.
