Kevin answers these questions:
1) Many people are focused on what appears to be an end in sight for the pandemic. Should retailers and brands be focused on the immediate future of their YoY performance vs the turbulent 2020 or is 2022 the place to focus and why?
2) Kroger recently held an investor day event. From our perspective, the overt message was very clear: they intend to dominate the growing retail media market. What are your thoughts on retail media in general?
3) I know we’re a little off topic from CPG retail, but I would love your thoughts on how this renewal applies to the industry we are following?
4) A few questions for you: 1) do you see Instacart as the predominant challenge to Amazon in the near future and 2) for regional/local grocery retailers, is this marketplace their ecommerce strategy for the foreseeable future or are any of them other than the big 5-10 grocery retailers willing to invest in building their own digital CX on the path to purchase?
5) as brands get more engaged in supporting retailer eCommerce activities, they face all sorts of new fees in their business dealings. Are these just the online version of chargebacks and something the brands just need to accept as fact?
6) Amazon appeared to skip a beat during the pandemic and really didn’t leverage the rapid adoption of eCommerce to significantly grow its Fresh delivery business the way that Instacart and Walmart did their businesses. What are your thoughts on this and what is the future for Whole Foods in the Amazon picture?

Anil & Rohit answer these questions:
1) Tell us a little bit about yourself, Anil? What is your role as CEO of Absolutdata and what are some of the priorities you are personally addressing for the company? How do you interact with the founders?
2) Rohit - Take us through the value proposition of Absolutdata end to end.
3) Anil - Explain AI in simple CPG & retail terminology. What are specific need states that would demand it? How does AI connect everyday with the consumer?
4) Rohit - gives us a few actual examples of work you have done with your clients - brands or retail and specifically how this has driven their success?
5) Anil - Working on scaled data is costly, it’s hard work, it’s time - What would you say is the biggest advantage to working with Absolutdata for a brand?
6) Rohit - In its current mature form, RGM is a discipline that’s truly 5 years or so old in our industry. What specifically is the value you bring to a brand in this area? How does it get implemented? What data sets does one work with on this suite?
7) Rohit - Let’s talk brandhealth. You are actually measuring brand equity - aka health? Tell us about the secret sauce - what data, what models and how this works? Is it a score and an index?
8) Anil - what message do you want the industry to know about you? Absolutdata is not a startup and you have recently become part of infogain - why that partnership and what are its advantages?

Tom answers these questions:
1) Based upon the research you have conducted, why are retailer-based subscription services so desirable for consumers? Are there specific types of products that lend more favorably to a subscription model?
1) Retailers are focused on pre-set systematic reordering of a product. Why, in your estimation, is this not truly what the consumer needs? What is missing from this model?
3) Your CTO worked on subscribe & save at Amazon. What retail learning did you both bring from your Amazon experience to the development of the Replenium model. How does machine-learning play into this?
4) Are brands increasingly interested in a 1P relationship with consumers on replenishable goods and what do you see as the major value proposition for their adopting a DTC solution like the one offered by Replenium?
5) What should retailers & brands expect from an integration timing & effort to get a solution up and running? How are you making it easier for them to go live quickly & painlessly?
6) .What are the outcomes a brand or retailer should expect to realize? Better margins? Customer insights? Better customer experience?
7) With the incredible growth of eCommerce for consumables during the pandemic and the rise of demand aggregators like Instacart, have brands missed the opportunity to build DTC relationships with consumers or is the race really just beginning now?
8) How does the implementation of a replenishment capability bring organizational alignment to a brand manufacturer?
9) In light of their current expansion strategy, has Amazon’s strategy for Fresh decidedly shifted from home delivery to physical store formats? If so, what is the future for Whole Foods?

6. Has COVID changed grocery the same the world over?
7. You started in the world of data and loyalty – and then you have circled back there again with tcc? How has loyalty changed?
