Supplement Marketing for Scaling DTC Brands
This show helps nutritional supplement brands scale to 8 and 9 figure businesses and make a bigger social impact.
Bobby Hewitt, is the founder of Creative Thirst, a supplement marketing agency that has helped dietary supplement brands grow for over 13 years. He’s built a framework around how people buy supplements. Because, people don't buy supplements the way they buy other products, and if you market your supplement brand like a regular e-commerce store, you're leaving money on the table.
This is the show for supplement brand founders and in-house marketing teams who want to scale their direct-to-consumer sales without scaling their team.
If you run a supplement, functional food, nutraceutical, or beauty brand selling direct to consumers, the rules of marketing are different for you. This podcast will provide tips, strategies, supplement trends, and ecommerce growth hacks, for entrepreneurs, owners, founders, CEOs, marketing VPs, and online marketers of supplements, vitamins, peptides, pet supplements, and skin care products.

Supplement Marketing for Scaling DTC Brands
The Next Supplement Wave Pt 4: How Mars Men Hit $100 Million in 18 Months
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The last two brands in this series won on lifestyle, identity, and belief. Soft, cultural, aspirational stuff. This one wins on the total opposite.
Mars Men went from bootstrapped to a hundred million dollar revenue run rate in under eighteen months, profitably, serving over four hundred thousand customers.
In this episode, I break down why the problem you choose to build around determines how hard your marketing has to work, and the difference between a low-intent problem you have to manufacture urgency for and a high-intent problem where the desire is already screaming.
I get into why the market's squeamishness about naming an uncomfortable problem is your opening, and then
I walk the economics that make this whole model scale. How a high-intent problem creates efficient acquisition, how a chronic problem creates natural retention, and how those two things together drive the lifetime value math that lets you outspend your competition and still profit.
I also get honest about the risk, because when you build an aggressive direct response machine on a scientifically contentious promise, the whole thing lives or dies on whether the product actually delivers.
Because people don't buy supplements the way they buy other products, and sometimes the biggest opportunity is the hard problem everyone else is avoiding.
