However, how do you draw the line between leveraging influencer fame and establishing an independent brand identity? Beverage growth strategist Chris Gallant takes listeners through Chamberlain Coffee's birth during the pandemic and the brand's monumental expansion within four years. Highlighting the impact of Founder Emma Chamberlain's genuine connection to the brand, he maintains the value of aligning with your target audience to stay ahead of competitors.

Emma Chamberlain isn't jaded by the ebb and flow of beverage entrepreneurship. Not yet, anyway. On the contrary, the 22-year-old, who rose to fame as a YouTube creator and has since become one of the most prominent influencers in the world, says that she revels in the daily lessons learned from building her coffee brand, Chamberlain Coffee. Founded in 2020, Chamberlain Coffee sells whole beans, matcha and instant coffee direct-to-consumer and also markets ready-to-drink dairy-free lattes that are carried by Whole Foods, Albertsons, Walmart and Target. We sat down with Emma and Chamberlain Coffee CEO Christopher Gallant at the 2024 Beverage Forum, held last week in Manhattan Beach, California, for a conversation about the brand's development and growth strategy, why its identity is anchored by love and modernity, and how collaborations with other brands is determined by a set of “filters.” This episode also features a conversation with Buster Houston, the vice president of national merchandising for supermarket giant Albertsons. Buster offers a deep dive into Albertsons' merchandising strategy and the “four p's” that dictate decision-making; how packaging impacts shelf placement and, in turn, generates trial; why slotting fees aren't as cut and dry as they may seem and how early-stage brands can start a conversation with the retailer.

He also talks about the evolution of package design and how it applies to esoteric beverages, what might compel Albertsons to take a flier on a new or innovative brand, the art and science of merchandising, and how the company uses internal and external data to make merchandising decisions. He also explains how brands can “graduate” out of the natural sections of its stores, the reason that he describes slotting fees as part of a partnership with Albertsons and why he encourages founders to email him.

Emma's shifted her focus to building out her podcast, Anything Goes, and her coffee company, Chamberlain Coffee. We talked about how she's redefining her relationship with YouTube and finding her place in the coffee industry—potential haters and all.

Pivotal is an interview-style segment that tackles topics in consumer packaged goods (CPG) and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) from the business leaders that live it EVERY DAY! So, if we were putting together a 21st century beverage industry version of Mount Rushmore, my recent guest would have to be up for major consideration. From successful exits at ZICO Coconut Water, CORE, and BODYARMOR, to his current involvement in ZOA Energy, Chamberlain Coffee, and Athletic Brewing…Danny Stepper is that dude. Danny Stepper (Co-Founder and CEO of the beverage incubator L.A. Libations) and I had an absolute gem of a conversation, where we touched on everything from the foundational importance of starting his career at The Coca-Cola Company to how he unsuccessfully dodged Hollywood…yet that entertainment industry experience has proven extremely fruitful at LA Libations, as the intersections of beverage and entertainment multiple.

Show Notes Website: Blazar Capital Stores: Nordgreen, MessyWeekend, Moonboon, Chamberlain Coffee, Scandinavian Biolabs, Project Nord, Copenhagen Cartel Social Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram Leaving a successful career in consulting to building Blazar Capital Shuang: Tell us about how Blazar Capital was founded. Christian: Blazar was founded by me and a couple of partners called Pascal (Sivam) and Vasilij (Brandt). Pascal was an old colleague from my former job in McKinsey, and Vasilj came from an ecommerce company called The Hut Group in the UK. And we teamed up some years ago, and I thought it could be a lot of fun to make a house that helps to incubate new consumer brands. So brands that are typically born digitally, many of them are actually born using the Shopify platform to do their sales on. And then help scale and scale these brands fast. We have this house that we have set up to support new brands in the way that there's a tech team that supports them with everything they need. On the tech side, we have a paid media team and an agency that supports everything that's needed on paid media. And then we are also supporting on other functions, such as handling logistics globally and setting up finances in the first couple of years where a founder may have a lot of other tasks on hand. So we try to really set up a house with all the different things that you need as a new business. Shuang: It's impressive because your team also built your own brand and within a couple of years it's scaled beyond 8-figures. So tell us about the first brand that you built, Nordgreen, and how it all started. Christian: So Nordgreen was one of the first things we started out with Pascal and Vasilij. And it has just been a great ride. It came from the idea that Danish design is known in many countries as high-end design and aspirational. And then we got an opportunity to work with one of the lead designers who has designed a lot of the collections for the Danish brand called Bang and Olufsen known for its headphones, speakers, televisions and so on. And Jacob was just an international design star, and being able to do Danish design together with one of the leading Scandinavian designers was just a very interesting opportunity for us. So we launched this watch brand called Nordgreen with Jacob. And the name Nordgreen stands for Nord is because we are from the Northern part of Europe. So it's N-O-R-D, the Danish way of writing that. And then green comes from that the fact that brand is very dedicated to CSR and to making a positive impact in the world. So that was the start there. So it's been a combination of a design story and a CSR story. It got good traction within a few years. Within the third year it got to be an 8-figure brand. And it's still growing nicely. That has been one of the fun journeys that we have been so lucky to be on the last couple of years. Shuang: It's amazing that within a few years since 2017, your team was able to scale so much. What are some key pivotal decisions that you felt really contributed to the scaling? Christian: I think a couple of different things. The reason why we are able to work across multiple brands is that we have a good strong team on each brand. So every brand has a dedicated leadership that is able to fu...

Since starting her channel in 2017, Emma Chamberlain has amassed more than 11 million YouTube subscribers, in large part because of her wry comedic tone and signature lo-fi editing style. Not being overproduced in both the look and content of her vlogs made Emma more relatable to an audience that increasingly has favored content creators removing the literal and proverbial filters from their lives. And part of Chamberlain being so candid has been admitting to her audience (and herself) that she needed a break from YouTube. She's shifted her focus to building out her podcast Anything Goes and her coffee company Chamberlain Coffee. I wanted to talk to Emma to see how she's redefining her relationship with YouTube and how she's finding her place in the coffee industry—potential haters and all.
