The Situation


Many predict that the future of food lies in plant-based ingredients, but those ingredients do not come without their challenges—modern consumers also have high expectations for taste, functionality, sustainability, and nutrition. Enter AB InBev, the parent of some of the most recognizable consumer brands in the world. AB InBev saw a chance to challenge the status quo, launching a portfolio of upcycled barley ingredients that set a new standard for quality and sustainability in the plant protein category.

What We Did


The challenge? AB InBev was new to the supply side of B2B ingredients. And that’s where MarketPlace came in. As 20+-year veterans in the business-to-business ingredient space for foods, beverages, and supplements, we shaped the go-to-market strategy and facilitated the brand’s launch, carving a space for barley protein within the blossoming plant protein category. Today, barley protein appears on CPG labels for brands like Athletic Brewing, activist James Wilks’ FȲTA, and Garden of Life.
