On this episode of Marketing Moves, we sat down with Michael Sirpilla, co-founder and CEO of Society Brands to unpack their founder-first acquisition model and how it’s redefining the way challenger brands scale. Michael explains why Society Brands keeps founders in the driver’s seat post-acquisition, the importance of shared services in accelerating growth, and how quarterly masterminds create a community of collaboration. We dive into their strategic pivot from Amazon reliance to a diversified omnichannel presence, the role of loyalty programs and influencer partnerships in driving retention, and why authenticity is at the core of both marketing and AI integration. Michael also shares Society Brands' long-term vision to lead the clean, toxin-free movement, building brands that not only grow, but last.
