How do you build a science-first wellness brand that can survive (and lead) in one of the most crowded categories in the world for 22+ years?
In this Marketingland Festival 2025 session, Dr. Anna Persaud, CEO and founder of This Works, walks through the brand-building decisions behind turning a wellness brand into an international leader, known for creating the pillow spray category.
