With its original investment thesis proven accurate, Nutrabolt has decided to expand its strategic partnership with Bloom Nutrition. So, this content will provide you with the legitimate “insider” deep dive insights needed to really understand the nuance behind why Nutrabolt and Bloom Nutrition both decided to expand their strategic partnership, what it unlocks for Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), and how it could impact the energy drinks market going forward. So, why is this such big news? Comparatively speaking, there isn't a single (early stage) brand (in my opinion) currently displaying the same level of beverage industry upside potential…especially within such an important large category like energy drinks. And while that original strategic growth capital obviously fueled and accelerated many key areas like (most notably) product innovation…I can say with complete confidence that the record-setting explosive growth year of Bloom Sparkling Energy (or the initial breakout success of Bloom Pop) would not have happened without Nutrabolt. Also, I'm not even referencing any impact from the Nutrabolt and KDP strategic partnership either…as the biggest value Nutrabolt provided to Bloom was ensuring “Icarus” didn't fly too close to the sun. The truth is…Bloom already had the vision, but it needed that trusted “big brother” to help with the recent brand evolution. But the expanded investment strengthens the commercial partnership between Bloom and Nutrabolt, thus by proxy also strengthens the commercial partnership between Bloom and KDP (which has played a valued role in the Bloom retail strategy). And for those living under a rock…let me backtrack and mention that KDP acquired a significant minority equity stake in Nutrabolt about three years ago. Similarly, I can say with complete confidence, whether in terms of new categories, expanding usage occasions, attracting a broader consumer base…or just indirectly providing Nutrabolt with a much-needed kick in the ass around brand marketing, the “powerful step-change growth opportunity for Nutrabolt,” would not have happened without Bloom. The truth is…Nutrabolt already had the strategic discipline, but it needed that passionate energetic “little brother” to help with the recent company evolution. Nutrabolt is now on pace to exceed $1 billion in annual revenue on a consolidated basis…and has transformed into one of the fastest-growing and most talked-about global active health and wellness companies. But where does that take Nutrabolt next? Does becoming the majority owner of Bloom (strengthen or weaken) my Nutrabolt IPO prediction from several years ago? I've always felt Nutrabolt becoming a public company would be advantageous for KDP as well…as I've been mentioning this proxy strategic investment vehicle concept for years. Obviously, the recent CELSIUS, Alani Nu, Rockstar Energy, and PepsiCo transaction further confirmed the importance of this “strategic category captain” structure. So, my conviction should be stronger than ever around KDP utilizing Nutrabolt as the “active nutrition” category captain, but that would require me turning a blind eye to the recent announcement that KDP would acquire JDE Peet's (and subsequently separated into two separate independent companies…currently given generic “Global Coffee Co.” and “Beverage Co.” placeholder names). And while KDP streamlining itself doesn't necessarily diminish the chances of a Nutrabolt IPO, it likely complicates the beforementioned idea of being the “KDP Beverage Co.” active nutrition category captain.

Yet another summer is wizzed by with a jet speed. With a few days left, we want to signify this moment by sharing with you yet another App Talk interview from App Promotion Summit London 2025, this time with Rui Mateus, CTO of Mobrand. At the interview, Rui brilliantly laid out the state of programmatic advertising for mobile apps. He touched on the need for control and transparency in programmatic, the performance-based model, scaling and rebranding, ad fraud challenges, the role of AI in programmatic, and more. Today's topics include: Control and transparency in programmatic: why marketers now demand visibility into KPIs, performance, and audience targeting rather than just raw results. Performance-based model: Mobrand's approach of charging advertisers only when quality users take meaningful in-app actions. Technology as core DNA: Mobrand building its own bidder, using open RTB, and positioning itself as a tech company in the ad tech ecosystem. Scaling and rebranding: maintaining momentum, keeping a lean but skilled team, and presenting Mobrand as a premium partner for app developers. Ad fraud challenges: the scale of invalid traffic, detecting fraud through behavioural analysis, and the constant “arms race” with fraudsters. Role of AI in programmatic: lowering entry barriers, enabling better audience modelling, and driving higher quality performance for advertisers. Expansion of programmatic channels: growth in connected TV (CTV), digital out-of-home, and cross-channel strategies. Client focus: subscription apps, gambling, and finance apps with long conversion funnels where performance and quality users are critical. Future vision: becoming a one-stop shop for app developers, simplifying promotion, and delivering seamless growth without unnecessary complexity. Links and Resources: Rui Mateus on LinkedIn Mobrand website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Rui Mateus “I consider that Mobrand is not necessarily a marketing company. It's a tech company. We have a very big technological background, and when you have the technology, you have the control — and then you can give that to the companies you're working with.” “Our biggest challenge with programmatic at the moment is the amount of invalid traffic that exists on the bidstream. You think you are bidding on real users and you are not. There is a lot of bots making the whole flow as if they were users” “Our objective is to be an alternative for app developers and to provide real value. We want to cut a little bit of the complexity of this market and build a platform where everything is as seamless as possible.” Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

Send us a textJoin Nathan on this episode of BetaTalk as he sits down with Olly Cutting, Johann Kühns, and Pranjal Arya from HomeTree. The team from HomeTree shares their incredible journey, from a boiler installation company to a multifaceted energy services provider. We learn how Olly and Pranjal's economic backgrounds, combined with Johann's expertise in Climate Change management and finance from Imperial College London, have shaped their innovative, data-driven approach.The Customer Journey FlywheelThe conversation centers on HomeTree's innovative business model, structured around a "customer journey flywheel" with three key divisions:Home Cover: Offering service plans for boilers and heat pump installations, rivaling big players like British Gas.Renewable Installations: Specializing in the installation of solar, battery, and heat pump systems.Renewable Financing: A crucial division that helps customers overcome the significant upfront cost of new energy systems, making the transition more accessible.This flywheel model ensures that customers are supported at every stage of their energy transition.A Different Approach to AcquisitionNathan and his guests discuss HomeTree's unique strategy of acquiring local SME's (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises), like the respected IMS Heat Pumps Ltd led by Emma Bohan. They explore why this approach is so beneficial for both HomeTree and the acquired businesses. HomeTree's data revealed that customers prefer working with local installers, and this acquisition model allows them to scale while maintaining a personal touch.Beyond TechnologyThe discussion also highlights that the move to renewable energy isn't just a technological change; it's a behavioral shift for customers. Nathan shares his thoughts on how the Guild of Master Heat Engineers can collaborate with HomeTree to help both the company and its customers navigate this transition, building on the great conversation they started over dinner.

Tonight, we have an opportunity to bring a piece of Le Mans to you, sharing in the Legend of Le Mans with guests from different eras of over 100 years of racing.  Harley Cluxton - a notable figure in motorsport history, known for a successful racing career with the Ferrari factory team and the North American Racing Team (NART) in the 1970s, becoming the youngest exclusive Authorized Ferrari Dealer in the U.S. at age 26. But did you know that he played a pivotal role in sustaining and advancing the Mirage Racing Team's legacy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans during the late 1970s?  In 1975, following Gulf Oil's withdrawal from international motorsport, Harley acquired the Mirage team from John Wyer and operating under his company, Grand Touring Cars, Inc., he relocated the team to Arizona and continued to field Mirage prototypes at Le Mans throughout the ‘70s. Under his leadership, the Mirage cars consistently performed well at Le Mans, never finishing outside the top ten, and Harley's commitment ensured that Mirage remained a competitive force in endurance racing during a transformative period for the sport; and as a result he was also recognized as Member #1 of the International Club des Pilotes in 2012, highlighting his significant contributions to motorsport. And he's here with us tonight, to recount some of that story… on this first-ever LIVE EWAL recording from the Simeone Foundation Museum in Philadelphia, PA. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Harley Cluxton: A Racing Icon 02:14 Harley's Early Racing Days 03:52 The Ferrari Connection 05:02 Racing Adventures and Challenges 15:18 Transition to Team Ownership; Acquiring the Mirage Team 22:18 Le Mans 1975: A Fuel Efficiency Challenge 23:54 The Mirage Team and John Wyer's Legacy 26:44 The Love-Hate Relationship with Le Mans 30:04 The Hippie Porsche 917: A Unique Ownership Experience 33:18 The Future of Mirage and Le Mans Classic 36:58 Reflections on Modern Motorsport 40:40 Closing Remarks and Acknowledgements ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ To learn more about or to become a member of the ACO USA, look no further than www.lemans.org, Click on English in the upper right corner and then click on the ACO members tab for Club Offers.
