At the beginning of a brand’s life, there are a few SKUs and the goal is to find product market fit. Once you graduate from the beginning stages of brand building, you start to grow a team, add SKUs, and in turn - you start to have different problems than you did when you first started out as a brand. How do you navigate this growth over a long period of time? I am not sure, but I brought in a seasoned professional to help you and me learn how to manage a big brand.
