Passion brand, founder brand, entrepreneurial brand, family brand. Yep - we love them. And we love working with and in them. And when comes a time for a brand to grow up to fulfill its mission - everyone wants to be part of it. But passion brands aren’t for everyone. While the brand owners have a strong vision of the future, sometimes the path isn’t clear, and their super-mission-driven-power gets in the way. It takes compassion, direction and a bit of pragmatism to guide this brand on it’s true journey
Darcey Howard, Director of Marketing for Coconut Bliss shares the journey of identifying the right brand for her expertise, the journey of coaching a “Humble Hippy” brand team to that new future and transitioning that team into the HumanCo family - all while maintaining her New York sense of style.
In this episode, we learn:
