The Challenge

Spread The Love had a product people loved and almost no commercial infrastructure to sell it at scale.

Spread The Love had a product people loved and almost no commercial infrastructure to sell it at scale.

When I came in, Amazon didn't exist for the brand. Walmart Marketplace didn't exist. The website needed a full rebuild, wholesale lacked structure and a usable catalog, and sampling was expensive and inefficient — the company was giving away full 16 oz jars with no single-serve option to support events, dietitians, foodservice prospects, or larger sampling opportunities. The product was strong. The engine around it wasn't built yet. The gap wasn't quality — it was everything that sits between a great product and a growing business.

Our Strategy

The work was to build the growth engine the brand needed channel by channel, system by system, without outside capital.

The work was to build the growth engine the brand needed — channel by channel, system by system, without outside capital.

That meant standing up Amazon from zero, launching Walmart Marketplace, revamping the DTC site, and building a wholesale catalog with the structure and tools the sales team actually needed. On the product side, we supported the development of single-serve packets — a format that unlocked more efficient sampling across events, dietitians, and foodservice prospects. On the operations side, we implemented Doss as the ERP backbone, automating wholesale order processing, warehouse workflows, 3PL coordination, and customer tracking communications. The financial discipline ran through all of it — every new channel, every new SKU had to make sense on margin before it made sense on paper.
