Pernod Bets on Stronger RTDs, Nestlé Doubles Down on Mexico

Pernod Ricard is stretching Malibu into stronger RTDs, Nestlé is pouring $1 billion into Mexico through 2030, and a challenger snack brand is using fashion collabs to outmanoeuvre FMCG giants. Three moves with real strategic stakes. In this episode: Pernod Ricard is launching higher-ABV ready-to-drink products under the Malibu brand in the UK and North America, targeting growing consumer demand for stronger RTD formats. Nestlé is committing an additional $1 billion to its Mexico business through 2030, doubling down on a high-growth emerging market spanning confectionery, dairy, and coffee. Challenger snack brand Unreal Snacks is pursuing fashion collaborations — alongside Chipotle — as a low-cost route to earned media and cultural credibility against larger FMCG rivals.
