Mooala

Strategy

In 2017, Jeff Richards, the CEO of Mooala, approached us at BuzzShift with an exciting challenge: to scale his innovative brand dedicated to making real, organic, dairy-free beverages. As the CEO of BuzzShift, I led the charge in transforming Mooala's digital presence and growth strategy. Here's how my team and I built and scaled Mooala's website, digital channels, and social media strategy, helping them launch new products and expand their market presence.
