Building Strong Kids™
Built in Fremont, CA
A $250M category in flux
The kids snack bar category is undergoing a massive transformation from empty-calorie granola & cereal bars to more nutritious, better-ingredient snack bars to satisfy more health-conscious Millennial parents.
1. Big Brands are vulnerable
Big brands are trying to win share by shrinking down their existing adult formulas. These formulas don't satisfy kids' unique taste/texture preferences or their nutritional needs.
2. No compelling Kids Brand
Focused on their adult lines, large brands are not building authentic & engaging brands that resonate with kids–a massive opportunity in the digital era.
How We Win
1. A Superior, Kid-Focused Product
We perfected the Zeek formula over three years to satisfy kids' unique flavor & texture preferences while using all natural ingredients and packing in the nutrition parents are looking for.
2. Digital-First, DTC Distribution
COVID has created a generational opportunity where expensive shelf-space is less relevant and the most innovate, DTC brands can quickly gain market share in massive categories.
3. A Game-Changing, Disruptive Kids Brand
We're not a just snack bar company–we celebrate, inspire, and build #StrongKids through digital content; sports & event activations; team & league sponsorships; and charitable causes.
