The alcoholic and distillery industry is competitive now more than ever, and especially was at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Consumers are shopping the organic category more often and we are seeing continued trends of consumers looking for healthy, organic options for their family + friends.

Before selling on Amazon, Kappa was mainly focused on D2C via Shopify and brick & mortar retail locations. The pandemic changed everything and they needed to adjust their business and focus more on online sales.

I was tasked with the challenge of launching Kappa products on Amazon. This required me to develop a strategic plan to launch a brand on Amazon at the height of a pandemic.

Helping craft budgets, marketing plans, and execution was my duties while employed there.
