What does it actually take to build a brand that earns permission to expand into retail, land cultural partnerships, and grow aided awareness from 1% to 11%? Matthew Morein, Senior Director of Brand and Content at WeCook, has the answer, and it starts with a question most teams never ask: if this company disappeared tomorrow, what would the world be losing?
Matthew walks Bryan through how WeCook shifted from a purely functional, convenience-driven brand to one rooted in the joy of mealtime, why brand is made of clay and not cement, and how authentic ambassador partnerships with PK Subban and Marie-Pierre Morin drove real brand awareness results in a notoriously difficult subscription category.
