In this episode…
The current economic times are very challenging and many businesses have been forced to switch gears. Not only that, but the regulatory environment for the CBD industry lacks a lot of clarity in most states since the FDA is not very involved, although this is likely to change in the future.
Because of the lack of regulation in the industry, there are many distributors and retailers who avoid CBD products even as more players join the industry. So, to stand out from the competition, brands have to do more. Cloud Water Brands chose to play bigger by working on their branding and pivoting to grow their market share.
Marc Siden, the CEO of Cloud Water Brands, joins G. Steven Cleere, host of The NexxtLevel Podcast, to talk about founding the CBD infused drink company and the importance of branding in a competitive industry. Marc explains how the company has pivoted because of COVID-19, how it has been growing its distribution and market share, and its future plans.
