This is no surprise to us, but where does your company rank? Who are the real leaders of digital commerce growth, and who's trying to catch up? One of our ongoing research studies, conducted with our advisory board and data partners, produced some interesting results. The data reveals a fascinating story about eCommerce leadership in the CPG space. L'Oréal leads with an impressive 27% contribution to eCommerce sales, while Nestlé and Procter & Gamble follow with 18% each and Colgate-Palmolive at 15%. Based on our extensive research results, most of the #CPG companies show approximately a dozen common characteristics, but #DigitalCommerce leadership requires three key elements and they prioritize these strategic investment imperatives: 1. Making digital a core strategic investment priority with clear intent 2. Building robust organizational structure and technology capabilities 3. Establishing a significant eCommerce presence with measurable outcomes There are interesting patterns regarding #retailmedia intelligence and retailers' advertising revenue streams. - Pure-play digital platforms command a much higher advertising revenue (14-22%. - Traditional omnichannel retailers (Walmart, Kroger, Target, Tesco Carrefour) maintain lower but advanced ad revenue percentages (3-7%) compared to younger and smaller retail media networks. A very basic 2025 action plan should prioritize these 3 items, and we will get more granular and broad with our 2025 tactical recommendations in January. 1. For maximum business impact, prioritize digital capabilities development 2. Invest strategically in retail media partnerships 3. Build internal expertise for eCommerce excellence 💡Pro Tip: The key to success lies in balancing direct-to-consumer initiatives with strategic retail partnerships while maintaining profitability through smart media investments.

🎄🥂 𝗡𝗼.𝟳 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭𝟬 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 Do you remember when the title of Unilever's Chief Marketing Officer, Conny Braams, was changed to Chief Digital and Commercial Officer in 2023? The same thing happened with Mondelez CMO Martin Renaud when his role was changed to EVP & Chief Marketing & Sales Officer in 2022. I see this happening more across many other CPGs in different categories. This is not only about organizational effectiveness but more about the rapid convergence of offline and online sales and the growing importance of data analytics in the day-to-day tasks of sales, marketing, and brand teams. The imperative for eCommerce teams to embrace data-driven decision optimization for prescriptive actions has never been greater. This strategic necessity is underscored by those structural shifts at Unilever and Mondelēz International I mentioned above, and they highlight the criticality of integrating sales with brand-building. Decision Optimization propels this evolution by transitioning from the mere management of knowledge in silos to the execution of decision-making. It harnesses descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive insights derived from business intelligence, analytics, and machine learning much faster in a cohesive structure. This requires optimization and heuristic-based solutions that align closely with the blurring lines between marketing & sales, enabling hashtag #eCommerce teams to build brands and convert sales. ++ Key Action Items ++ 📍CPGs should invest in decision optimization for this convergence to succeed. They must invest in decision optimization capabilities to parse vast data sets to provide actionable insights. This approach moves beyond traditional analytics by predicting outcomes and prescribing actions. 📍Companies must develop more V-shaped employees. As defined by Jeroen Kraaijenbrink below, the V-shaped employee bridges the gap between a specialist and a generalist by adding adjacent knowledge. This medium-deep, medium-broad expertise is crucial for agility and versatility within an organization. ++ How Can This Be Done, Practically? ++ 💡Teams should be trained for adjacent skills by continuous learning opportunities that encourage employees to develop those adjacent skills. This can be facilitated through mentorship programs, cross-functional projects, and dedicated training resources. Check out L'Oréal and Mondelez training programs. 💡Hiring and appraisal systems should be updated to recognize and reward the V-shaped skill set. This will encourage employees to pursue adjacent knowledge and become more versatile. 💡Implementing decision optimization tools within the existing workflows will ensure that every business function has access to prescriptive analytics. This will embed a decision-focused approach across the organization, making V-shaped employees perform better and shine. 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟬,𝟴𝟬𝟬+ 𝗖𝗣𝗚, & 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 👇 #CPG #FMCG #growth

And today L'Oréal Groupe has officially entered into a definitive agreement with Migros Group to acquire its subsidiary, Gowoonsesang Cosmetics (Dr.G), marking a significant step into the burgeoning K-Beauty market. This deal includes the highly reputed Dr.G skincare brand, a pioneer in dermo-cosmetic innovation founded by dermatologist Dr. Gun Young Ahn in 2003. By leveraging Dr.G’s robust pan-Asian presence and established reputation as a top-three skincare brand in South Korea, we predict that L'Oréal will certainly accelerate its global K-Beauty footprint. This acquisition aligns with the group’s vision to democratize premium beauty, particularly through innovative dermo-cosmetic solutions that address sensitive skin needs.
