  • Simply stated branding tools

    I love listening to Katie - her voice is easy to listen to, she gives concrete everyday examples (I loved the most recent connection with volleyball even though I’m not a sports fan), and she is passionate about getting good food in more shopping carts. Every episode is full of great information for anyone from the beginner to the advanced CPG brand!
