Both promotions will leverage the CPG community and its current environment to support those who are struggling.

CEO Sean Bisceglia states, “The consumers whose behavior has informed brands’ growth and success are the same consumers struggling to access vital foods and products. We, as members of the product and food industry, have a profound opportunity to give back to the consumers that form the backbone of our profession.” Curion’s promotions demonstrate the symbiotic relationship between consumers and the food and product companies. As Curion streams the results of its study on consumer decision making during quarantine and encourages clients to start new projects, funds will be collected to help those very consumers.
