Magic Spoon - Key strategies
Magic Spoon was co-founded by Gabi Lewis and Gregory Sewitz in 2019. The business is the second partnership for both co-founders after selling their first cricket protein bar venture, Exo, to Aspire Food in 2018. The decision to explore the cereal market was driven by their perception of the limited innovative strategies demonstrated by key cereal brands over the years, especially in the adult market.
Magic Spoon exclusively operated through a direct-to-consumer channel for ad-hoc orders and subscriptions until 2022. After demonstrating scalability and profit, it started making partnerships with mainstream retailers such as Target.
Magic Spoon – Key Take-outs
The main incentive to launch Magic Spoon was to be innovative within a large and slow-growing category such as free-from cereal as explained by co-founder Gabi Lewis. The use of alternative sugar ingredients such as monk fruit and allulose maintained the product’s quality and recreated flavors that consumers were familiar with.

Scope
- Recognize gaps in high-value markets. There are large categories in food and beverage such as cereal that are witnessing stagnant growth, which means the extent of innovation is limited. Manufacturers need to update their formulation strategy to appeal to a modern consumer group and to stand out in a crowded environment.
- Find a balance between healthy and high quality. Brands need to create better-for-you ranges to satisfy younger audiences. On-pack communication is also important to help boost the product’s health profile. High-quality ingredients are needed to offer an enjoyable taste experience. The combination of the two factors is a winning recipe for success.
- Elements of familiarity are key for new product launches. The use of nostalgia is an effective approach to engaging with new consumers. Brands should take advantage of familiar flavors for a new product launch to pique interest among potential early adopters.
- Partner with influencers to engage with younger audiences. Social media impacts consumer purchase decisions and helps them understand the product benefits.
