Our favorite takeaways from this episode with Alli:
- About choosing "doable" has her word to describe the CPG industry, Alli says that she hopes listeners get out of the cycle of judging themselves for what they should and shouldn't be doing. What's doable for your brand in this season of business?
- We're seeing experiential marketing coming back little by little post-COVID, and Alli would love to see more of that throughout the rest of the year into 2025.
- Throughout the rest of the year into next year, Alli thinks we're really going to see this tension behind newer brands saying no to big distribution and bigger retailers saying they still need them in big distribution.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
