The changing world of emerging food brands

We all know that the landscape of established food has changed dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, but what about emerging players?

Adapting to a "new normal"

In this conversation between John Haugen, founder and managing director of 301 INC, and Alex Hendricks, marketing manager in 301 INC, we get an inside look at how the early-stage food industry has shifted and how 301 INC has adapted to best support its portfolio partners.
