# The Daily Trend Report with giovanni gallucci: November 13, 2026

Good morning. This is Alexis Parker, sitting in with giovanni gallucci and Chloe Dawn, and this is the Daily Trend Report. Morning, Alexis.

## In this episode

**Social Media.** Eddie brought this one. On Tuesday, Reddit started testing something called Reddit Reviews.

**Clean Label Food and Beverage.** Eddie and Kendall both had this one. It's a study in JAMA Pediatrics, and Food Dive wrote it up yesterday.

**Content Creation Tactics.** Eddie brought me three holiday spots this week, and I want to start with a tongue twister. Sonic Drive-In has Chad Michael Murray playing a whole hometown.

## Quick takeaways

- Search Reddit tonight for your product name and your category, and save every thread where somebody asked a question nobody answered well.

- Open a brand account with a real person's name on it, and answer five of those threads this week in plain words, with no link.

- Turn your best reply into a post on your own feed, screenshot included, and use the stranger's question as the first line.

- Open a broadcast channel or a close friends list for the parents who already buy, and give it a name a parent would say out loud.

- Every Monday, ask that group for one photo of a real lunchbox, and repost three of them with the parent's own words.

- Put one plain line in your bio that says the account is for the grown-up who packs the lunch.

- Write one line about your product that a customer could say out loud in under three seconds, and test it on five people who aren't on your payroll.

- Film your own crew trying to say it, keep every flub, and post the worst take first.

- If you already have a line people repeat, keep it word for word and put it in the first second of every holiday video.

# The Daily Trend Report with giovanni gallucci: November 11, 2026

Good morning. This is Alexis Parker, sitting in with giovanni gallucci and Chloe Dawn, and this is the Daily Trend Report. Morning, Alexis.

## In this episode

**Social Media.** Kendall flagged this one, and Eddie had it too. LinkedIn put out a plain-English explanation of how its feed picks posts now.

**Clean Label Food and Beverage.** Eddie brought this one, and it came out yesterday. Rao's, the jarred pasta sauce, launched a short film called Limited-Time Only.

**Content Creation Tactics.** Travis brought me two tiny accounts this week, and I want to start with them, because they embarrassed some very big budgets. Both come out of Volume's weekly format reports.

## Quick takeaways

- Rewrite your company page headline as three plain facts: what you make, who buys it, and where you make it.

- Make the first fifteen words of every post name the product, the problem or the customer, and cut any opener a stranger couldn't follow.

- Pick the two subjects your brand will post about on LinkedIn through the end of the year, and stay inside them so the feed learns where to file you.

- Pick the one Thanksgiving side your product belongs in and post the whole recipe inside the post, every amount and every step, with no link out.

- Put the recipe card on the first slide, or say the amounts out loud in the first ten seconds, so somebody can cook it straight from their saves.

- Post it by November nineteenth, a week out, when people are writing the list, and pin it to the top of your profile until the holiday.

- Make one chart this week that your buyer would want to keep, one dense image that still reads when somebody zooms in on a phone.

- Put the season and the payoff in the first line, so a stranger knows it's for this month and knows what they get.

- Judge that post on saves alone, and skip any holiday joke you've already watched a bigger brand run.

# The Daily Trend Report with giovanni gallucci: November 9, 2026

Good morning. This is Alexis Parker, sitting in with giovanni gallucci and Chloe Dawn, and this is the Daily Trend Report. Morning, Alexis.

## In this episode

**Social Media.** Eddie brought this one off a New York Times piece from Friday. There's a TikTok creator who goes by Heyitsyoon, and her whole account is giving you the ending of other people's videos.

**Clean Label Food and Beverage.** Kendall found this one, and it's a cereal with no oats in it. A St.

**Content Creation Tactics.** Eddie brought me this one, and it's a pickle company. Grillo's Pickles dropped what it called an unhinged National Pickle Day collection.

## Quick takeaways

- Paste the transcripts of your last twenty videos into an AI tool and ask it for the exact second the payoff lands in each one.

- Re-cut your best ten so they open on that second, post them against the originals, and judge them on saves and shares instead of watch time.

- Have the same tool flag every caption that teases something late, and rewrite each first line as the sentence a viewer would type.

- The day a store sells through, post the empty shelf from your own phone with the date and the count on it.

- Pin one receipts post to the top of your profile and update it every time a new number lands, whether that's boxes, doors or sell-outs.

- At your next demo, film ten strangers taking a first bite with no coaching, and post the faces before you ever post the label.

- Pick one date your brand can own this winter and make one cheap, limited thing for it, under thirty dollars.

- Before you sell any box or bundle, film yourself unboxing it like a stranger would, and if it would embarrass you, fix the box.

- Say the date on every post for that drop, and repost every customer photo of it for the week after.

# The Daily Trend Report with giovanni gallucci: November 6, 2026

Good morning. This is giovanni gallucci, joined by Chloe Dawn and Rachel Donovan, and this is the Daily Trend Report. Morning, giovanni.

## In this episode

**Social Media.** Eddie flagged this one off a Digiday piece from Wednesday. Six thousand brands are now buying ads inside the biggest chatbot on the planet.

**Clean Label Food and Beverage.** I found a sparkling water online this week tagged GLP-1 Friendly. It's ACME Markets' own store brand, caramel apple flavor.

**Content Creation Tactics.** Travis and Eddie both brought this one, and it's out of Austin. Rambler Sparkling Water has new creative from the agency Atlantic New York, and the whole thing rests on one word.

## Quick takeaways

- Tonight, ask the big chatbots the five questions your buyers ask, and write down which reviews and creators it points back to.

- Send product to the two most honest reviewers in your category, with no script and no approval rights, and ask only that the title be the question a shopper would type.

- When the review goes up, share it on your own channels that same week, including the part that stings.

- Film one serving at real size on a plain plate, and say the protein and fiber grams in the first two seconds.

- Strike the drug's name from your captions, hashtags and creator briefs, and put the portion and the ingredient count in its place.

- Ask customers to send a photo of the plate they really eat, and repost five of them this month in their own words.

- Read your last hundred comments, find the doubt that keeps coming back, and make it the first line of your next video.

- Write the objection and your answer as two short sentences, and keep the whole thing under ten seconds on camera.

- Pin the toughest honest comment on your best post this month, and answer it in a reply video the same week.

# The Daily Trend Report with giovanni gallucci: November 4, 2026

Good morning. This is giovanni gallucci, joined by Chloe Dawn and Rachel Donovan, and this is the Daily Trend Report. Morning, giovanni.

## In this episode

**Social Media.** Travis flagged this one, and Clark had it too. Digiday confirmed yesterday that Meta has started charging brands to post links from their Facebook Pages.

**Clean Label Food and Beverage.** Travis had this one. MASA, the tortilla chip brand that fries in grass-fed beef tallow, just went into fifty-five Costco warehouses in Washington and Oregon.

**Content Creation Tactics.** Travis brought this one, and it's my favorite thing that happened on LinkedIn all year. Publicis closed its two point two billion dollar purchase of LiveRamp, the company a lot of brands use to match and move their customer data.

## Quick takeaways

- Pick the one page that makes you the most money in December and spend both of this month's free Facebook links on it.

- Rewrite your next five Facebook posts so the product, the price and where to buy it are on the image itself, with no click needed.

- Put one owned ask on every post this week, a text keyword or an email signup, and count how many contacts each post brings in.

- Shoot a sixty-second process clip this week, raw ingredient to finished bag, with no voiceover and the real kitchen sound turned up.

- Cut every health claim out of your captions and replace it with one plain sentence about how the thing gets made.

- The day you land a new store, post the store name and the town, so a local shopper knows exactly where to go.

- Write down three fights inside your own category where you already have a side, and draft one post for each today.

- Name the one person who can post those without a committee, and give them a written same-day rule.

- When that person posts, the brand account reposts within the hour with one line of its own, and nobody softens the wording.
