Understanding brand strength has remained somewhat of a mystery for many snacking companies. Snack food rankings have historically relied on generic popularity polls, sales data, social listening tools, reviewer critiques, and biased “pay to play” methodology – all of which have some value, but lack in providing a true measure of brand strength.

Alpha-Diver and The Food Institute are pleased to unveil the industry’s first comprehensive consumer psychology-based ranking of snack brands – The Snack 50. The study was conducted and designed by neuro-market researchers at Alpha-Diver in partnership with The Food Institute, a leading food industry media company, to help companies understand the WHY of consumer snacking behavior.

In this FI-exclusive webinar, registrants learned about the following:

The Rankings
- The top 50 CPG snacking brands, ranked from top to bottom
- Category-level rankings (e.g., sweets, salty, protein snacks, etc.)
- Snacking brands with the highest brand momentum

The Psychological Factors of Snacking behavior
- Drivers
- Barriers

The Implications for Snacking Companies
- Understanding the competition
- Developing more effective marketing strategies
- Opportunities for Innovation and Product Development

The presentation was given by Hunter Thurman, President of Alpha-Diver and moderated by Brian Choi, Managing Partner and CEO of The Food Institute.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to learn about The Snack 50, and what it could mean for your company.
