👋Hi, and welcome back to CPGD: your weekly guide to emerging brands and industry trends.

Instead of adding five new brands this week, we're doing something a little different (à la "Spotify #Wrapped"). Introducing: CPGD Wrapped: a look back on 2021 and which brands in the directory got the most love (measured by website visits)...

The most visited brands on our website in 2021...

I want to personally thank you all for making this such an incredible year. Without you (the builders behind the brands) we at CPGD wouldn't have a directory to build. Being able to connect with such incredible founders and creators has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, and I can't wait to continue learning from you. 

Cheers to what's to come in 2022...
Andrea
