(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAG1 CEO Kat Cole disclosed an ambitious plan to expand the customer base through new form factors including gummies, canned drinks, energy powder, and additional products in development.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not iterate on your hero format until you own all formats in your category. Map your customer objections: powder buyers cite inconvenience and taste. Gummies solve taste. Canned drinks solve convenience. Then distribute each format separately—canned goes to convenience retail, gummies to beauty or vitamin aisles, powder stays DTC. You now own four shelf positions and four customer stories. Run this for your category: what format is your customer avoiding, and which new format unlocks them?\nWhat that means for you: Format extension is not innovation—it's distribution strategy masquerading as product. But it works. AG1 is smart to weaponize it. The move is to pick one friction point (taste, convenience, portability), solve it with a new format, and ship that format to a retail channel your powder doesn't own yet.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/beauty/wellness/inside-ag1s-growth-engine-gummies-canned-drinks-energy-powder-and-much-more-to-come/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
