    Fermented Foods: Points from DuPont

    Fermentation is traditional, fashionable and innovative. With healthier image, fermented foods especially for fermented dairy products carried most imagination and expectation for consumers.
    Fermented foods have come a long way with innovation, from  ancient times to today. However, only differentiated innovation can impress today's consumers. Products with regional, healthy, functional, snacking, convenient, personal, and cross-border features, .are all important ways of differentiation.
    Innovative LAB cultures (incl. starter cultures and probiotic cultures) bring not only taste & texture, but also health benefits such as immune health, weight management and bone health, in addition to the wellknown digestive health for consumers. Today, the concept of probiotics is so popular, while visibility, interest & fun, and personalized health benefits beyond digestive health are constant choices for food and beverage applications.
    Let DuPont help you create more differentiated, cross-border, versatile and  supreme fermented foods.

    Functional Yoghurt: Not only Tasty, but more Inspiration

    Functional Yoghurt: Not only Tasty, but more Inspiration "Chinese consumers are paying more and more attention to the intake of dairy products, be their quality or quantity. Reports from Mintel indicate that health claims with “added” and “reduced” are the decision-making factors that make consumers most willing to pay for a premium. However, our domestic market of health functional food is still flawed and imperfect, while functional yoghurt products in other countries (such as Japan) have a relatively complete system and the craze for these products continues.
    · What do these functional food development strategies bring to us?
    · How do we achieve accurate positioning by segmenting and in-depth research on consumer groups?
    · What exactly is product innovation?

The founder and brewmasters are continuously listening to the consumer feedback to innovate, expanding the boundaries of what beer can mean to people. Craft beer embraces creativity and unlimited taste experience, with a spirit of craftsmanship. In recent years, Chinese consumption of craft beer has maintained an increase rate of over 40%. Craft Beer has quickly become a symbol of Millenials’ insatiable interest for new sensory experiences. Craft beer often brings a strong sense of place, creating strong bond with the local communities. How does craft beer appeal to consumers? How does the market go through the taste transition period smoothly? How do microbreweries evolve to scale up and keep up with the demand?

    Compared to Chinese, the Western people are more used to drink sparkling water, soda water and mineral water in their daily life. How does this lifestyle come into being?

    • Analysis of the current mineral water consumption and its relevant standards in Europe and America
    • What role does the government play in the development of the European and American water industry?
    • How do European and American water brands build consumer awareness?

    Topic Value:

    China’s local governments have invested heavily in green industries, but their lack of awareness of the water industry causes policies and marketing directions to be vague. Things happened in the areas such as Changbai Mountain, Wudalianchi and Tongren, Guizhou are very typical. Apart from that, domestic bottled water companies are confronted with the challenge to build consumer awareness when developing the above-mentioned three types of water. In conclusion, local governments need policy-making guidance, and companies need successful cases to refer to , which Europe offer the best model.

    In the new media landscape, how do middle and high-end mineral water brands communicate with consumers?

    Topic Value: It has been urgently needed for the traditional mineral water brands, like Wahaha, Yake, Nongfu Spring and Coca-Cola, to make transformation and produce middle to high end products. But, do they clearly understand consumers’ expectation for these products? The large and medium-sized mineral water brands usually spend huge monry on marketing but the effects are hard to be evaluated. In contrast, new media can be a very efficient tool. But the key is how the brands use this tool to save money and increase efficiency. Would the power of community-centric marketing and a fan economy also apply to the mineral water industry? The answer is yes. However, as different types of mineral water has different properties and consumption scenarios, they respectively have different marketing tricks.

    • For middle to high end mineral water brands, how do they break the deadlock in the Chinese market?
    • How to leverage the power of the mineral waterproduct itself?
    • How do brands get free and valuable consumer insights via new media?
    • In a new medialandscape, how can brands be “soft and hard” when communicating with consumers?
    • How do mineral water brands leverage external forces to create a fan economy?

    Growth Path in New Retail Era

    China food & beverage market continued to experience challenges  in 2018 as a result of slower population and saturation of traditional sectors. Consumption upgrade, driven by more new categories and new occasions, as well as premiumisation, is the key force behind growth. Kantar identified active silvers, small town youth as well as Generation Z as major growth engines to watch out. Kantar identified three most important factors that motivate China’s Gen-Z shoppers to spend their money on brands: buy more social, I am what I buy and my pleasure, right now. This means that F&B brands will have to make their product fun, beautiful and personalized for those consumers.

    To win in the new retail era, Kantar advise to build new consumer experience around product leadership, engage consumers through social media and influencers as well as utilize social + Ecommerce channels to trigger new purchase occasions.

    iQIYI Variety Show,keep innovating,keep following original faith

    With super high audience ratings of entertainment programs and super high box office of entertainment movies, Chinese entertainment industry is in full swing. For companies in China, the unpredictably massive traffic and the hidden marketing opportunities behind this phenomenon indicate the coming of a golden age for entertainment marketing. For example, Luzhou Laojiao launched a new alcohol "Taohua Zui" and perfectly embedded it in the TV series "To the Sky Kingdom"(《三生三世十里桃花》). Nongfu Spring invited the two actors starring in drama "Guardian"(《镇魂》) to promote its product Lemon C100, resulting in stock-out of the product due to fans crazy buying behavior. And also in the hot net drama "Story of Yanxi Palace"(《延禧攻略》), there are very interesting embedded ads.

    · There is no comprehensive, accurate data to identify the key drivers of business growth
    · Due to low data granularity, it is not possible to accurately evaluate the compliance of shelves and displays
    · There is no store-level data to analyze the effectiveness and authenticity of marketing promotions
    · Lack of insight on how to delight shoppers, dealers and retailers

    Chicecream is probably the most expensive ice cream bar in China. An Ecuadorian pink diamond bar was sold for 66 yuan, and 20,000 pieces were sold out in only 15 hours! On Double 11 shopping carnival 2018, Chicecream's daily sales exceeded 4.6 million yuan with sales index ranking first in Tmall ice category. Its pop-up shops are also the "holy land" for fashion-lovers, with more than 10 million people participating in the activity. However, Chicecream was just founded in March 2018.

    In recent years, there are always some brands frequently appear in everybody's sight, then brush the screens and become the meteoric rise of the "internet celebrity". But we found many brands, after a onetime popularity, would be often forgotten. The creation of a new popular adopter is temporary, but the habit is permanent. What Chicecream is thinking about is how to make a habit.
    1.After the era of hot single product, how can we find the next booming sector in food and beverage industry with the base of tasty products?
    2.How can we influence more people?

    Workshop: In the information dusting era, packaging decision-making power drives brand growth.

    In the era of information dusting, consumers have received unprecedented information while the stimulus threshold has increased significantly. The entire consumer decision-making system established by advertising in the past has quietly changed. The role of packaging design in the terminals has undergone substantial changes from transmission to communication, terminal differentiation to packaging decision-making power, product perception to brand reach. Facing the rapid changes in the market environment and consumers, how can brand packaging respond flexibly? How to judge the effective solutions of packaging design and hidden minefield? Peng Chong, the founder of PESIGN, the winner of the first Pentawards Platinum Prize in Greater China and the first reddot and iF awards in China’s dairy products, is to share the advanced design methodology accumulated in the long-term service of domestic and international fast-moving consumer goods brands. Meanwhile, he will discuss with many excellent brand producers about the practical design solutions in the field. It is a great chance to update your mindset of package behind the brands.
    1.Misunderstanding of the 3-second law and how to establish the decision-making power in package.
    2.The basis of the design is to solve problems: accurately determine the packaging problems.
    3.Advanced methodology: packaging occupancy and barriers; not filtered by consumers; no opportunities for followers.
    4.On-site exploration: What are your most concerned issues in packaging ? How do the first-tier brand producers solve them?
    Setup of excellent linkages: PM, designers and suppliers, and post-95consumers of the new generations will respectively represent three important groups in the real business environment. Then, they form three camps on site to confront and cooperate. So it is not only a smooth expression of appealing and their voices, but also a consideration of decision-making for packaging among different groups.
