Expo West isn't about pitching.
Sure I'll talk about how we launched a protein coffee brand from scratch and took them to $2M in under 6 months.
Or how we pushed a premium beverage brand's revenue up 244% with organic ranking and DSP.
Blah blah blah.
Beverage isn't even profitable on Amazon. We all know that.
But that's not why I'm here.
I'm here to show face, meet people, and "flash the business".
From just me and Evan to now 40+ team members and 40+ clients. ALL US based.
That growth is insane to think about.
But you know what I actually came for?
THESE GUYS.
Scott. Harris. Aleksei. Marco. Evan.
Sales. Ads strategists. Brand managers. COO. CEO. The squad.
We don't get to chat every day. Most of us are remote.
Slack messages and Zoom calls only go so far.
So when we get time in person? We make it count.
VIP dinner. Happy hour by the pool. No agenda.
Just the people who built this thing together, finally in the same room.
Moments like this remind me why I hired them.
Not because of their resumes. Because of who they are.
That's the real Expo West for me. 🚀
