“What we found to be most effective is not necessarily positioning our products as vegan or this or that, but looking at it more in terms of celebrating plant-based ingredients and positioning it in a way that's a little bit more inclusive. That really gets people excited and wanting to engage more with the brand. Owning the plant queendom and how we can all together join in this botanical revolution for good.”
