show moreThis week on the Gooder Podcast, I had the pleasure of talking with Maisie Antoniello, the Senior Marketing Executive Jones Soda Inc., a Seattle-based premium craft soda brand. We chat about Maisie’s big shift from big CPG brands (Kellogg’s, PepsiCo, and Starbucks) to the beloved regional Jones Soda brand - and how that move changed her life. We also learn about why Jones Soda implemented one of the most cutting-edge augmented reality technologies into their packaging – and discuss some of the marketing trends her brand is leveraging. We tackle everything from innovation, supply chain, and women leadership – to interesting facts about the trends/companies in the food and beverage world.
In this episode we learn:
- The history and the story of Jones Soda and what the “secret sauce” is that differentiates Jones Soda from other beverage brands
- How the pandemic impacted Jones Soda and the challenges and opportunities that came along with it
- About utilizing augmented reality in packaging and marketing, and the inspiration behind Jones Soda’s exciting project using AR
- How Masie leverages her big CPG experience to fuel the growth of a smaller “fighter” brand
- Why the shift from large to small brand is instrumental in her career growth
- Why Maisie heavily invests in research and data as a leader
- The advice Maisie gives to other leaders who desire to transition to smaller brands
- Trends in the food and beverage industry
