About CPG Data Tip Sheet

The CPG Data Tip Sheet is published by Kevin Lehmann and Goods Group. It was founded in 2012 by Sally Martin and Robin Simon, two consultants who met in business school over a shared interest in the geeky side of marketing and went on to build independent practices of their own. Over more than a decade they turned hard-won experience into plain-English explanations of how CPG data actually works and how to analyze it.

Robin and Sally built this into something the CPG and consumer industry trusts. It continues in that spirit.
