From £14M -> $100M: How TRIP is Building a Truly Global Brand

From £14M -> $100M: How TRIP is Building a Truly Global Brand

Today I’m absolutely thrilled to have Olivia Ferdi, CEO and co-founder of TRIP, join us once again on fhe show.
Since her last appearance on Brand Growth Heroes, TRIP has skyrocketed from around £14 million in annual sales to a projected $100 million this year.

In this episode, Olivia shares with me how she and her team have achieved incredible growth, from blending CBD drinks in their kitchen as newlyweds to leading a global brand that’s changing how we think about calm, wellbeing, and soft drinks. We talk about:

  • How TRIP’s super impressive recent raise came together and what it means for the next stage of growth
  • Expansion and growth in the US marker
  • Building a globalbrand around the feeling of calm
  • The power of consumer insight and innovation in scaling fast
  • Balancing bold ambition with authenticity, motherhood, and leadership
  • How Olivia herself has evolved from lawyer to founder and the hidden ‘superpowers’ she’s discovered along the way- and how you can find yours too


What struck me most in this conversation is Olivia’s honesty about growth, instinct, and personal transformation. She reminds us that every one of us might have a hidden superpower we haven’t yet discovered, and that’s both liberating and exciting.

Thanks to Brand Growth Heroes’ podcast sponsor - Joelson, the commercial law firm

=============================================================

If you're a founder, you already know how much of your energy goes into building the perfect product, creating standout branding and connecting with your consumers.

But don’t forget that scaling a CPG business also comes with a maze of legal complexities that can make or break your business journey. From contracts, term sheets and regulatory compliance to protecting your brand's intellectual property as you expand, it's essential to get it right.

And that starts with the right legal partner.

So we're thrilled to introduce Joelson, a leading commercial law firm that specialises in guiding the founders of scaling CPG brands, as Brand Growth Heroes' sponsor.

With long-term relationships with clients like Little Moons, Trip, Eat Natural, Bear Graze, and Pulsin, Joelson is also famous for advising the innocent founders in their landmark sale to Coca-Cola! As a female team, we are especially impressed by Joelson's commitment to championing female founders in CPG.

Not many law firms are also BCorps, nor do they specialise in helping founders navigate the legal challenges of scaling without stifling the creativity and momentum that got you here in the first place. So thanks, Joelson—we’re delighted to have you on board.

If you'd like to get in touch to find out more, why don't you drop them a line at hello@joelsonlaw.com!
