Above The Fold

Episode 69 | The Retail Reality Check with Liz Ahern of Brand 555


Listen Later

This week, I sat down with Liz Ahern, former CMO of Chamberlain Coffee and current Founder of Brand 555 Marketing to talk about what actually drives brand longevity in a world full of creator launches and fast-moving CPG hype.

We talk about why most brands lose sight of their customer, what “community” actually means (hint: it’s not just comments), and why a retail strategy needs a lot more than shelf space to work.

Liz also breaks down the real role of a fractional CMO, what makes great packaging at retail, and why brands are getting community management completely wrong.

If you’re building, scaling, or just wondering how to turn attention into long-term love, this episode’s got you.
