Launched in 2018, this family-led business is planning to disrupt the $8 billion dollar health bar market in the USA.

But they're also disrupting what Food & Bev marketers define as best practice, in terms of approach to Social Media!

Forbes 30 under 30 co-founderJake Karls talks Fiona through:

  • How he, his sister Lezlie and brother-in-law Nick had been 'swinging and missing' with other startups before Mid-Day Squares was conceived...
  • How they ended up with such a great product market fit...
  • How they decided on the 1 MASSIVE way the brand would 'show up' to the world...
  • How they built the momentum, energy, and hype that means their product is PULLED off shelf...
  • Why an understanding of the entertainment world - and story-telling- is so important to marketers....
  • Why Jake didn’t originally want to get involved in this family business...
  • His pitch for the brand to 'show-up' as a blend of the best of The Kardashians, the best of Shark Tank, and the best of Elon Musk...
  • How to break through the biggest barrier to every F&B business - the 'Attention Barrier'...
  • How you need to be unapologetically yourself, even if 50% of people are going to dislike you...
  • The 3 things you need to tell an amazing story...
  • The three pillars around which the Mid-Day Squares business is organized...
  • How therapy has been the answer to help them run the business successfully...
  • How they personalized their relationship with their consumers in the early days, and how they continue to do that at scale...
