Problem
Small and mid-sized consumer brands in India struggled with distribution, marketing, and scaling their operations, especially in the competitive e-commerce space.
GlobalBees Solution
GlobalBees built a platform to acquire and grow D2C brands across various categories by offering operational efficiencies, digital marketing strategies, and supply chain improvements, similar to the Thrasio model.
Initial Users & Marketing Hack
GlobalBees focused on acquiring emerging consumer brands with strong product-market fit but limited scaling capacity. They used an omnichannel marketing strategy, combining online ads with influencer campaigns and cross-promotion across their portfolio brands. This allowed them to boost visibility and rapidly grow acquired brands.
