I think it’s fair to say that many entrepreneurs (or their investors) have an exit in mind as they're building their brand. It’s a familiar trope - work like crazy for a few years, build some buzz and some momentum, and eventually a bigger fish is bound to snatch you up. Of course, the reality of the experience is usually much different. We wanted to know - why do companies consider mergers and acquisitions? How do you court a buyer? How do you reach a deal, and maybe more importantly, what happens next? Is it a matter of handing off the reigns to your new strategic partners, or is it something else? How do you merge your team? To answer these questions, we’ve got Aihui Ong, the founder of EdgiLife and now the SVP of data and insights at SnackNation. This week on Brand Builder we bring you under the hood, going in depth on SnackNation’s recent acquisition of EdgiLife and their marquee brand Love With Food. She tells us why she founded Love With Food, why she decided to merge with SnackNation, and what it’s like to integrate her team into a brand new (albeit aligned) company culture. We also speak to Aihui about data and insights, and how the best brands leverage data throughout their life cycle to get a step ahead of the competition.

Love with Food: Shine NOW! Magazine Sponsor As we launch the Shine Now!Magazine, I had the opportunity to interview Melinda Wang, Marketing Extraordinaire, from Love with Food, our sponsor. The founder, Aihui Ong, a former software engineer birthed her company from a place of compassion and purpose.  Ms. Ong took a year to travel after undergoing a painful divorce. While she visited a variety of countries,there remained one constant, poverty among children. Everywhere she traveled she saw hundreds of kids in need. Upon returning home, her own friends were experiencing difficulties. One with breast cancer and another with a failed food business. Aihui found a new purpose as she sought to assist her friends. She used her ability to be loving with food, coding and knowledge of the internet to create a food-based company that would also help children in need. Love with Food is a monthly snack subscription service that helps you discover unique, junk-free, all natural or organic snacks at your doorstep. Every box donates at least 1 meal to fight hunger all over America. Over 16 million kids face hunger in the United States.
