NOSH Live: Get Your Brand in Shape With Boot Camp, Dec. 1

You’ll love the first day of NOSH Live, but after all the talk of strategy, case studies in brand growth and the overall inspiration and networking, you know that theory and strategy are nothing without the tactics and execution to enact them.

That’s where the NOSH Live Boot Camp comes in, on Dec. 1 at the Loews Santa Monica on the day after the big event. Extending the lessons from the day before, Boot Camp will immerse attendees in the ways that products move through the market and will show them how to get it done, from pitching investors and stores to putting impactful products on shelf, hiring as they grow, and attacking online opportunities like Amazon.

Featuring highly accomplished figures from sales, marketing, organizational structure and more, NOSH Live Boot Camp is a significant day of how-to, and is followed by the chance to further ask questions and network with the subject matter experts during an extended round table lunch session.

Boot Camp begins at 9 a.m. on Dec. 1 in the Venice Ballroom. We’ve filled the morning with entrepreneurs and experts who have devoted their careers to the growth and success of innovative, emerging brands. Here’s the schedule:

  • 9:00 – Welcome
  • 9:05 – 9:30 Emerging Brand Strategies: Best Practices — James Richardson, Founder, Premium Growth Solutions
  • 9:30 – 9:55 Introducing Next-Gen CPG — Caroline Love, former VP, Hampton Creek
