  • BGH SHORT: Why Staff is THE Hardest Thing You Will Do (Joanna Jensen, Founder Child's Farm)

    BGH SHORT: Why Staff is THE Hardest Thing You Will Do (Joanna Jensen, Founder Child's Farm)
    2025/04/15

    Over the past few years, I’ve become increasingly frustrated at just how HARD it is for founders to find the right people for their business.

    • There are fewer applicants than there used to be for roles in sales and marketing in CPG businesses
    • It's even tougher to find that magic mix of mindset, experience and soft skills— as well as someone who genuinely fits your culture and values.
    • And the process? It's a lot: search, connect, schedule, first interviews, follow-ups, feedback loops — all while juggling a scaling business — and you STILL might not end up with the right person.

    It struck me that so many of the incredible guests on Brand Growth Heroes have shared absolute gold when it comes to building teams — how they hire, how they lead, and what they’ve learned when it all goes wrong.

    So the brilliant crew at MKJ Ignite - Billy, Paul and Immy, have gone through the Brand Growth Heroes archives and handpicked some snippets from the founders of your favourite challenger brands (think Olipop, Child's Farm, Perfect Ted and Tony's Chocolonely), pulling out the best people insights.

  • The Exit Playbook: Secrets to Selling your Brand

    The Exit Playbook: Secrets to Selling your Brand
    2025/04/09
    If you're the founder of a scaling brand, you've likely thought about selling your business. But when should you start preparing, and how do you find the right buyer?In this episode, we discuss mergers and acquisitions with Charles Lanceley, Managing Director of Alantra's consumer team. Alantra is a leading investment bank specialising in consumer brands. Charles has worked on major deals, including Fuel 10K, Strong Roots, and Grenade, and shares what makes a brand valuable—from strong financials to a compelling investment story.He explains why building a business solely to sell is a mistake and how focusing too much on an exit can hurt your chances of achieving a great one. You’ll learn why being ‘for sale’ is never ideal, how the best deals happen behind the scenes, and why top M&A advisors don’t just find buyers—they already know who’s in the market.We also cover common founder mistakes, like underestimating due diligence and not preparing for the workload of an exit. Charles highlights how an advisor can ease this process, letting founders stay focused on running their business—because if performance dips, so does the deal’s value.Finally, we discuss how private equity and trade buyers view businesses differently, the impact of market cycles, and why the best way to maximise your exit is to build a brand buyers can’t ignore. Whether you're considering selling soon or just want to create a lasting brand, this episode is packed with essential insights.

  • The 'Menopause' Category.... & Swinging From the Chandelier

    The 'Menopause' Category.... & Swinging From the Chandelier
    2025/03/26
    Did you know that 1 billion women globally are menopausal at any given time? Yet, until recently, the retail industry has largely overlooked this audience. Well....that’s all about to change!In this episode of Brand Growth Heroes, we explore the groundbreaking work of GenM, the menopause partner for brands and retailers, and its mission to reshape how women shop for menopause-friendly products.Our latest #BGH guest, Heather Jackson (CEO and co-founder of GenM), is the unstoppable force behind GenM. She shares how GenM is pioneering the MTick accreditation—a universal shopping symbol that helps women find products proven to support their menopause journey. With major players like Tesco, Boots, Sainsbury’s, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble already on board, this is more than just a trend—it’s a retail revolution.This episode explores how GenM convinced top retailers and brands to take menopause seriously and why menopause-friendly shopping is a permanent category, not a passing fad.We discuss the commercial opportunity for brands that get it right, the science-backed credibility of the MTick accreditation, and the groundbreaking launch of Tesco’s first-ever permanent menopause-friendly aisle.Heather shares eye-opening insights, including the startling reality that only 5% of women feel confident navigating menopause, and just 2% feel they are thriving. With 86% of women seeking non-HRT solutions, the demand for menopause-friendly products has never been greater.Why You Should Listen: If you're a founder, brand leader, or retailer, this episode is a must-listen. The menopause market isn’t niche—it’s 20% of your customer base and finally getting the visibility it deserves.=============================================================A small favour: If this episode inspires you to think about new ways to drive business growth, please hit FOLLOW and even leave a review!
