How do you take a brand born in LA and make New Yorkers feel like it was made just for them? Jena Wolfe, VP of Marketing at Goop Kitchen (https://www.goopkitchen.com), has figured it out.
Jena started out writing restaurant listings for a New York magazine, spent almost 15 years running her own creative agencies, and is now Goop Kitchen’s first-ever VP of Marketing (and her first time on the brand side). Since joining, she’s taken the brand from California to New York and opened its very first dine-in location in Del Mar.
Daniel and Jena talk about how Goop Kitchen decides what’s sacred to the brand, why the menu didn’t change one bit for New York, and why the launch campaign cast local icons like the New York Liberty’s Jonquel Jones and PR legend Kelly Cutrone instead of chasing the most famous names in the city.
Plus, how to pick your moments with a celebrity founder like Gwyneth Paltrow, what changes when a delivery-first brand finally gets a physical space, and the one lesson about local Marketing Jena wishes she’d learned sooner.
And her Marketing hill to die on? Take the big, scary swings…because when they pay off, they REALLY pay off.
If you’re a Marketer who wants to scale a brand without watering it down, this episode is for YOU.
