founder CHALY VIDA, global

HEGE C BAKKEN

" Chaly is a premium menopause supplement brand in the health and beauty category. Our Nordic heritage and focus on female longevity provide a unique market position in the United States. We reached out to Samson Marshall to map this health and beauty segment and then assist Chaly with the launch. Samson Marshall was instrumental in planning and facilitating Chaly's launch on Amazon by deploying advanced data-driven tools. This allowed us to quickly reach our targets in three months and set the stage for scaling our brand further.'

"I was fortunate to work with Jan and Renuka for several years supporting their company. As a business partner, I truly valued their authenticity, loyalty and passion for their work. I could always depend on them to be transparent with their decisions and detailed in their rationale. Additionally, the depth of care they showed for their team was unparalleled. These are the type of partners you want to work beside."

BECCA BERGER,  FOUNDER WEATHER WASH, CALIFORNIA 

Our company Weather Wash Coatings has developed a globally unique water based consumer product. We reached out to Samson Marshall for the US market expansion and investor work. They delivered both a detailed Go-To-Market report as well as a tailored investor process tool. The GTM documents clearly described a market potential by retail channel that was higher than the initial estimates. The plans also gave us a precise GTM/RTM script for the designated US target markets. European targets were outlined as well. We can now move confidently forward with the expansion and realize the true value of our eco-friendly products.

My company Bettaway and our novel technology has International expansion in mind. We engaged Samson Marshall Advisors for the market discovery work. Jan, Tuula and team gave Bettaway a swift, thorough map of the European market potential. They outlined the market size and dimensions, the GTM opportunities and the diligence required to move forward. This has allowed us to gauge our approach and outline the alternatives, hence improving the odds even further for success.
