We've been talking a lot lately about the physical shelf and the third shelf. But what about the digital shelf?

It's a trend we're watching closely, and we're proud to see SPINS data and perspectives included in the conversation. The digital shelf may never replace the traditional one, but it's becoming an increasingly valuable place to understand consumer behavior, build loyalty, and learn what resonates before products ever reach broader distribution.

For decades, winning in retail was largely about winning on the shelf. Distribution, placement, promotional support, and more determined which brands consumers discovered first. But AI is rewriting that playbook. Today, consumers increasingly ask AI assistants what products they should buy, which brands meet specific health or sustainability needs, and what alternatives best fit their preferences. The result is a democratized shelf where established brands and emerging challengers can appear side by side in the same recommendation. So what makes a brand recommendable? It starts with five fundamentals: defining an ownable claim and documenting it consistently across every touchpoint, treating certifications as content that reinforces credibility and trust, building citation depth through rich, accurate retailer and e-commerce content, earning third-party validation through reviews, media coverage, and expert endorsements, and monitoring an increasingly dynamic competitive landscape as new brands gain visibility through AI discovery. #CPG #RetailMedia #AI #BrandStrategy #ConsumerInsights #DigitalShelf #RetailInnovation #BrandGrowth #FutureOfRetail #CPGMarketing #AgenticCommerce

The New York Times just put a name to something we've been tracking closely: "Who Put Candy on a Diet?" Their new piece covers the boom in "better-for-you" and "functional" candy. Brands are reformulating classic indulgence with fiber, protein, and better-for-you ingredient swaps, moving from grocery shelves into gyms and supplement shops. Two of the brands they feature, Better Sour and Rotten, joined us for our recent "Future Ready Snacks: Fun, Indulgence, and Better For You" webinar. It's a good pairing. SPINS data shows where the indulgent-but-better trend is heading, and brands like these are the ones actually building it. We're excited to see this trend gaining broader recognition!
