From Shark Tank to Super Bowl - the story of America's fastest growing beverage (Poppi) with Allison Ellsworth

In this episode I'm joined by Allison Ellsworth, founder of the fastest growing beverage brand in the US, Poppi.

Poppi was started as Mother Beverage in 2018 (a nod to the raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar used in the drink) but was rebranded after featuring on Shark Tank in the same year. Now, it's one of the biggest soda brands in the US, outselling Coke and Pepsi on Amazon. I speak to Allison about the journey of creating the brand, how influential TikTok was for their growth, their merch strategy and how they ended up buying a Super Bowl ad. This is a fascinating account of how a challenger brand can disrupt an industry in such a small period of time.
