Saying ‘bye’ to beige in the cereal aisle in more ways than one, ‘Surreal’ is the prime example of a brand that’s genuinely fun, and unapologetically bold.

This episode covers Surreal’s genius social media hack to validate a product idea before its launch How Surreal can launch a product from scratch in under three weeks Overcoming unique manufacturing challenges to stay in control of their product How to harness humour and personality to stand out, without getting cancelled Invaluable sales learned from Jac’s inspired tenure at Vita Coco Surreal https://eatsurreal.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/eat_surreal/ Jac Chetland https://www.linkedin.com/in/jac-chetland-9b14a690/ Jamie Holtum: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-holtum-85b79634/ Learn more and follow the journey at: https://www.hainesmcgregor.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/haines-mcgregor/ https://www.instagram.com/hainesmcgregor…
