Utilizing Craftsmanship to Elevate Your Brand

After years of working with CPG companies in an agency capacity, John Heath now sits at the helm of Chobani's innovation function, charged with intelligently stretching one of the fastest-growing brands in the country, while maintaining the unique brand essence that sparked Chobani's rise to the top-selling yogurt brand in the country.

The culture of innovation at Chobani is born out of the art of making, and John believes today's craft movement is much more than a niche group of DIYers and artisan foodies, but rather a cultural zeitgeist driving change in the way products are created and brand relationships are built.

At PIM 13, join him to explore how mass market brands can embrace and apply craftsmanship, and take away key lessons for almost any innovation ecosystem.
