Ep 150: "Swee(t) Success in CPG; Listen to your Customers!" with Diogo Valente and Tiago Rebelo

What if your favorite indulgence could also be your healthiest choice? Do you ever wonder how your favorite food products make it to your grocery shelves? In this episode of Entrepreneurial Thinkers, Rob dives into the inspiring story of Diogo Valente and Tiago Rebelo, founders of Swee Creamery—a vegan ice cream brand born in Portugal during the pandemic, selling successfully now in US grocers in your city. From a serendipitous meeting at the gym, to navigating the globally hyper- competitive CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) market, to trusted friends now, these two young men share how they’ve built a brand that prioritizes great flavor, consumer engagement, and strategic growth of community through social media. They talk about their sharing of their life stories with their community, and their love for great products and loyal customers, as well as their open ambitions to breakthrough to great success in the US market! Tune in to discover their insights on breaking into the U.S. market, the power of partnerships, and their advice for standing out in saturated industries.
