BrandBusters Ep. 16: Sean Lee on founding the Zevo Insect Brand

In Episode 16, James and Sean flip the script and James interviews Sean about founding the Zevo brand and his time in the P&G Ventures studio. Sean is the co-founder and President of Cincy Brands (a CPG operating company), Co-host of BrandBusters, and Co-Founder of the Zevo Brand. Sean spent a decade at Procter & Gamble in Brand Management - leading brands like Iams pet food and Old Spice deodorant. He was the former CMO of Amify (sold to Cart.com). Sean has worked as an executive for private equity and venture capital-backed CPG and eCommerce businesses. In this episode, we discuss: 1. The leap from leading established brands like Old Spice at Procter & Gamble to founding the Zevo brand within P&G Ventures. 2. How Sean identified the insect control category as ripe for disruption and the challenges of launching a brand within a large, risk-averse corporation. 3. The importance of consumer education and feedback, and how early product hurdles were overcome to build a successful brand. 4. Zevo’s strategic retail launch, starting with an exclusive partnership with Home Depot, and expanding to Target and Walmart by aligning distribution with brand awareness. 5. Key lessons on the entrepreneurial mindset needed to succeed in a big company, the value of mentorship, and staying curious in the face of challenges. Sean shares invaluable insights on navigating corporate innovation, offering practical advice for anyone looking to launch a new brand, especially within a large organization.
