    Expanding What's Possible for Retail Execution with FORM's David Gottlieb & Jeff Wrona

    21/03/2026 | 49min
    The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by David Gottlieb, Chief Revenue officer and Jeff Wrona, VP Product, Image Recognition for FORM, the makers of the award-winning market execution software GoSpotCheck and FORM OpX, and Trax, the industry-recognized global pioneer of Image Recognition, delivering AI-powered shelf-level insights that help brands and retailers improve execution, availability, and growth in the physical store, have merged. 
    Follow David on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmgottlieb/ 
    Follow Jeff on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gospotcheckjw/
    Follow FORM online at: https://www.form.com/ 
    This episode is sponsored by FORM.
    They answer these questions:
    When you combine Trax’s global reach with FORM’s innovative model training and deployment capabilities, what fundamentally changes for CPG brands on the ground?
    How does proactively onboarding the most popular SKUs in each region shift Image Recognition from just reactive reporting to a proactive competitive advantage?
    What does 'agentic AI' realistically look like inside a CPG organization over the next three to five years? Is it hype, or are we looking at an operational revolution?
     If you were building the modern CPG tech stack from scratch today, what happens when IR data is integrated directly into sales, supply chain, and marketing systems?
    Could shelf-level data become the fastest leading indicator of these generational behavior changes—even faster than syndicated data?
    In this margin-compressed world, does flawless in-store execution become the single biggest lever brands still control?
    How does integrating FORM’s AI-powered image recognition directly with FORM’s mobile task management fundamentally close that gap between identifying a shelf issue and executing a fix right there in the aisle?
    What unique execution challenges do traditional CPGs face when competing with the speed and emotional connection of these newer brands?
    How does leveraging AI and granular, SKU-level shelf intelligence help brands manage their physical presence with the same precision and responsiveness as their digital storefronts?
    If two brands have equal product quality and trade support, does the one with superior IR-driven visibility win every time?

    Home Care Redefined with The Clorox Company's Oksana Sobol

    11/03/2026 | 43min
    The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Oksana Sobol, Vice President of Insights & Decision Intelligence at The Clorox Company, 
    Follow Oksana on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oksanasobol/
    Follow The Clorox Company online at: https://www.thecloroxcompany.com/
    Download the white paper on "Home Care Redefined" here: https://www.thecloroxcompany.com/home-care-redefined/
    Oksana answers these questions:
    The report shows emotional outcomes from cleaning are up 13 points since 2016 — how did that finding land internally at Clorox, and how does it change the way you brief brand and innovation teams?
    How should CPG brands be thinking about product placement, pack size, and on-shelf adjacencies to meet consumers where they actually clean — rather than where we assumed they did?
    31% of consumers think their products are disinfecting when they’re not. Where does the responsibility sit — on the brand, the retailer, or the shopper marketing ecosystem — to close that gap?
    The report highlights Gen Z rebranding chores through cultural frameworks like “Giving the Dishes a Bath” and #CleanTok. How is Clorox thinking about reaching this cohort?
    How are sensory experiences becoming a legitimate product development and marketing discipline at Clorox, and do you see this creating new shelf segmentation opportunities at retail?
    How do you help retailers and their buyers understand that this isn’t cannibalization, it’s a category expansion opportunity?
    Given that laundry dissatisfaction skews toward younger and multicultural households, what does a winning insights-to-innovation pipeline look like for that category?
    Pet owners use ~21 cleaning products and clean floors more frequently, yet most don’t buy separate laundry products for pet-related loads. How big is the unmet need here commercially, and is the challenge one of product innovation, consumer education, or retail shelf organization?
    How does Clorox use insights to make portfolio and price-pack architecture decisions that serve both ends of that spectrum without diluting brand equity?
    As VP of Decision Intelligence alongside Insights, how are you thinking about where AI accelerates your work versus where human closeness to the consumer remains irreplaceable?
