Chief executives from five consumer brands that successfully shook up the industry’s status quo by applying consumer insights and technology innovations will explain their “Disruptor Journey” during the 16th annual Consumer Goods Sales & Marketing Summit, which will take place Oct. 14-16 at the Boston Marriot Copley Place Hotel.
Amy Shecter of Glamsquad, Michelle Lam of True&Co., Nate Phillips of NomNomNow, Rachel Roff of Urban Skin Rx and Arnaud Plas of Prose will detail how their unique value propositions and go-to-market strategies gained wide appeal among consumers and disrupted traditional business practices in their product categories and retail channels.
