Do You Really Need to Build in Public to Grow a CPG Brand?
Q: What are some practical social templates for a founder with limited resources?
Create a repeatable framework like a podcast/Instagram series that explores real consumer stories around coffee orders, partner with iconic local venues for visibility, and use broadcast-style DMs or newsletters to nurture direct, intimate connections with followers and editors.
Do You Really Need to Build in Public to Grow a CPG Brand?
Q: Do I need to become an influencer or build in public to succeed?
Not necessarily; authenticity and alignment with the brand story matter more. If building in public feels inauthentic, focus on brand-driven content and authentic partnerships, while using insider insights and design-driven storytelling to sustain interest.
Do You Really Need to Build in Public to Grow a CPG Brand?
Q: What does the next month look like for Esprizio and Nick?
Focus on practical, low-cost PR and social play, leveraging niche outlets, personal outreach to editors, and coordinated, authentic social content that builds a community rather than chasing paid media; start with a few well-chosen coffee destinations and a consistent posting cadence.
The Science Behind Functional Products Consumers Come Back For
Q: What should brands consider when choosing between probiotic formats like pouches versus gummies?
Probiotic formats should avoid water to prevent growth and degradation of live cultures; pouches in oil bases with no water are preferred, while gummies can degrade with heat and moisture, reducing probiotic viability.
The Science Behind Functional Products Consumers Come Back For
Q: What should brands ask about preservatives and the interaction of ingredients over time?
Brands should inquire about how preservatives interact with other compounds, the potential for byproducts like benzene formation, and prefer formulations with low water activity and packaging that minimizes oxygen exposure to reduce mutagenic or carcinogenic risks.
