The blog post discussed in this episode of Marketing Deep Dives by Denyse argues that the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry faces a "relevance crisis" because traditional market research methods cannot keep pace with rapidly changing consumer behaviour and preferences.

It emphasises that AI-powered consumer listening is crucial for CPG companies to regain relevance, illustrating this with examples from industry leaders like Procter & Gamble and Unilever, who have leveraged AI to achieve faster insights, more accurate predictions, and improved product development.

The discussion reviews the six pillars of AI-powered consumer intelligence summarised in the post, such as real-time sentiment analysis and predictive consumer modelling.

It concludes by asserting that embracing AI for deeper consumer understanding is no longer just a competitive advantage but a "survival requirement" for sustainable growth in the evolving market.
