This show helps nutritional supplement brands scale to 8 and 9 figure businesses and make a bigger social impact.
Bobby Hewitt, is the founder of Creative Thirst, a supplement marketing agency that has helped dietary supplement brands grow for over 13 years. He’s built a framework around how people buy supplements. Because, people don't buy supplements the way they buy other products, and if you market your supplement brand like a regular e-commerce store, you're leaving money on the table.
This is the show for supplement brand founders and in-house marketing teams who want to scale their direct-to-consumer sales without scaling their team.

"Send me a text"In this episode, I interview James Oliver from Atlas Bars www.atlasbars.com on how he grew his protein bar company to $1.5M in 3 years without any venture funding. James focused on the product quality first with pure, clean ingredients. Hit many roadblocks along the way.
