Aldi's Next Big Thing 2024
Now that the dust has settled on Aldi's Next Big Thing 2024, we can safely say it was the most intense, interesting, exciting and worthwhile experience to date in our journey to bring healthy snacking to the masses.
We launched our first product in December 2023 and by May 2024 we were on national TV with our second product, making it through to the final but alas being pipped at the post by Fungi Foods.
In addition to being a whole lot of fun, other highlights following the show for us included these superlative stats:
→ 1100% increase in visitor sessions
→ 1624% increase in users
→ 397% increase in total sales
