Pattern highlighted research showing that brands with a TikTok Shop presence experienced 5.2 times faster average year-over-year revenue growth than brands without one. What do you believe is driving that relationship, and how should CPG executives rethink the connection between social commerce, consumer discovery, and Amazon growth?Pattern analyzed $1 billion in advertising spend and found significant investment going toward low-margin products and campaigns generating less than a dollar in revenue for every dollar spent. Why are brands still making these allocation decisions, and what should executives change about how they manage and measure advertising performance?One of the more interesting findings from Pattern's research was that same-day shipping increased purchases per impression by 44% compared with two-day shipping. Should CPG leaders start treating fulfillment and inventory placement as growth investments rather than operating expenses, and where do you see the greatest opportunity?Your presentation highlighted a fundamental shift from consumers scrolling through dozens of search results to AI agents recommending just one or two products. As that transition accelerates, what specific changes should brands make to their product content, data, and digital shelf strategies to improve their chances of being recommended?Pattern now operates across more than 70 marketplaces and 100 countries, spanning marketplaces, DTC, social commerce, and emerging AI shopping experiences. From your perspective, where are traditional CPG organizations most constrained today, and what two or three capabilities would you prioritize if you were rebuilding a global commerce organization for 2027?
