The challenge

This was a category-defining supplement. Customers had to be taught what the product was and why it mattered, and every claim had to stay within compliant health messaging. Growth meant educating a market, not just buying attention.

The approach

I built an ecosystem around four pillars:

  1. Practitioner advocacy: Credible voices in the health community explaining the product.

  2. Creator partnerships: Creators bringing the product to new audiences.

  3. Founder storytelling: The founder's story giving the brand a human point of view.

  4. Scientific education: Clear, compliant education that built trust in the category.

The results

  • 1,200% growth
  • Created a repeatable customer acquisition engine
  • Positioned the brand as a category leader
