#FOOD_HACKTIVIST
How online hacktivism is changing our relationship with food brands
The rise of the wellness movement is the biggest and
most sensitive trend influencing attitudes towards
the food sector – in particular food brands that
provide ready-made meals and food services.Today’sconsumerisflexing

Here’s what food brands need to know about the
impact of those who raise their voice – the innovators,
complainers, campaigners and haters – and our 5-
step plan to guide brands in response.

Some truths before we start
What can be exposed will

ever stay local
2 Every person has the
right to an opinion

brands are changing.

WHO’S
TALKING?
Sorting the hacktivist voices
Think of the following 4 global voice segments

as free and passionate focus groups 

(even if some are rude as heck with their feedback).
Getting your response right begins with understanding where your foodie
customers are coming from.
Different foodie segments have different levels of engagement with food
and wellness.
 
So are there distinct voices in the current conversation? What can we
know about their profile, their influences and their perspectives?
These segments are the result of global mapping undertaken in August
2019, using the Audiense platform. This maps eight different criteria,
which can be combined together allowing the creation of highly targeted
audiences.

about the food they make, eat or buy isn’t political – it’s social.

3. Our 5 step plan
CHECKY O U R
MESS
ReactionInstagram Reality
Take a good look in the mirror. 

Try and see what your critics see.
People demand
accountability, and they
have high expectations
about how much a brand
can micro-manage every
aspect of their business.
Sodexo experienced this
first hand – when a
contractor fell far below
standards, it was Sodexo
and not the contractor
who got called out.
Learn
outloud
Narrate the full story of 

how and why you learn and grow.
Go beyond transparency
and show – don’t tell – your
process. Customers can give
a brand that’s on a journey
of improvement a lot of
positive guidance, but only
if they can see it unfolding.
Jamie’s Italian missed early
opportunities to engage
brand loyalists in this way,
and to learn from them. In
the end, changes came too
late.
Show
your
work
2015: Crisis
2012: Disruption
2018: Back to
their roots, back
to growth
Do business with 

radical openness
Leadership is earned –
everyday – and closed
shops are relics of the
past.
Chipotle managed a
stunning turnaround by
throwing open access
and inviting people to
explore every ingredient.
Do business with 

radical openness
Go beyond transparency

process.
Being open has gained
Starbucks the trust of
millions of followers – who
backed the brand over
Ariana Grande.
Open
the floor
Surrender power to your customers.

Collaborate, co-create,
partner. Leaders aren’t
opposed to considering
changes proposed from
outside– those voices may
well be the innovators that
will transform your brand
for the future.
Kraft turned an online
petition into an
opportunity for change,
and modernised their
product in the process.
2013 20152014
Stand
your
ground
Draw a line, then STAND FIRM..
There’s a limit to
adapting to pressures
from campaigners and
haters – and standing
up to bullies can earn
respect.
Swift, humble but
uncompromising action
by KFC Malaysia took
control of a take-down
attempt by a disgruntled
former employee – and
restored customer trust.
