Many emerging brands focus heavily on advertising and social media — but they often overlook the one marketing asset every customer is guaranteed to see: the package.

In this Startup CPG webinar clip, Erica Harrison explains why packaging remains one of the most important investments a consumer brand can make.

She shares why packaging is the only marketing touchpoint that reaches 100% of your customers, how it communicates your brand promise at the point of purchase, and why clear, compelling packaging can make the difference between getting into a shopper’s basket or being passed over on the shelf.

If you’re building a consumer brand, this clip is a valuable reminder that strong packaging isn’t just design—it’s one of your most powerful marketing tools.

Last week we headed to Salt Lake City for our first-ever Southwest Grocery Run, and the brands showed up in a big way.

This event happened because foragers from the Whole Foods Market team specifically asked us to meet the region’s emerging brands. Southwest brands don’t get a ton of opportunities like this without traveling, so when the ask came in, we ran with it. 🛒🏃 

Nearly 70 brands (‼️) sampled for buyers from Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Harmon’s, Hungryroot, Good Earth Markets, and investors from our friends at Spacestation Investments. here were definitely some great conversations and we’re excited to hear what wins come from our first-ever Southwest Grocery Run!

If you’ve been around for a little while, you know we can’t do just one event! The night before the Grocery Run we hosted the Southwest Founder Dinner with a fully decked-out karaoke room. 🎤Whole Foods Market buyers were there alongside the founders, and the whole night was one for the books.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a memorable time! Special thank you to our sponsors, Fishbowl and Proud Impact Collective, for making these events happen!
