Chipotle Partnerships Edify Relevant Relationships

 

Growing-Up Chipotle means focusing on the life-time value of the customers.  Consumers and brands have a relationship and all relationships new some new electricity from time to time according Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.

Chipotle understand the value of women to its brand and wants to edify a relationship with younder women to help keep the brand thriving. So, two of the biggest disruptors in their industries—e.l.f. Cosmetics and Chipotle are coming together March 10 to launch the limited edition e.l.f. x Chipotle Collection. e.l.f's commitment to cruelty-free and vegan products unite with Chipotle's mission to cultivate a better world through responsibly-raised food to inspire the makeup collection you didn’t know you were craving. That will create new electricity with consumers according to Johnson.

Johnson continued, “in my minds-eye the new electricity must be very efficient for the supply chain and includes such things as; corporate partnerships, fresh foods, perfume, cosmetics, online ordering, delivery, self-driving cars, plant-based foods, music, streaming, food sampling, toy’s, podcast, movies, cereal, developing brands, grocerant positioning, fresh food messaging, autonomous delivery, cashier-less retail, plates, glasses, cash-less payments, digital hand-held marketing.

All food and beverage retailers to survive the next generation of retail must embrace the artificial intelligence revolution while simultaneously embracing fresh food and beverages that are portable, fresh, with differentiation that is familiar not different and this fits that bill according to Johnson.

Kory Marchisotto, Chief Marketing Officer at e.l.f. Beauty stated, “There is nothing tastier or prettier than the combination of burritos and makeup,” said. “We have long admired Chipotle and we are thrilled to come together to do things that neither one of us have done before. We share the same renegade spirit and are both committed to bringing the best ingredients to our consumers at extraordinary prices.”

Tressie Lieberman, Vice President, Digital Marketing and Off-Premise stated, “We’re always looking for opportunities to lead culture and make authentic connections with Gen-Z alongside brands that share similar values,” .. “Following our first launch with e.l.f., which sold out in less than four minutes last spring, we’ve taken our collab to the next level with beauty products celebrating our real ingredients in totally unexpected ways.”
