Why do so many celebrity brands fail, while a few actually win?

let’s talk about Chamberlain Coffee

emma chamberlain blew up on youtube with casual, talk-to-the-camera-like-a-friend videos. and in basically every single one, there was coffee — making an iced latte at home, sipping it in the car, grabbing one on a thrift run. so when she launched a coffee brand in 2019, it wasn’t a random merch choice.

but it’s smarter than it looks.

coffee’s a consumable. people finish a bag and need another one, so the demand repeats on its own. and it’s something a huge chunk of her viewers already drank every single day — she wasn’t creating a market, she was stepping into one that was already there.

the product was genuinely different too. her first drop was cold brew bags you steep like tea at home, something you couldn’t really get anywhere else. and she priced it premium, which kept margins healthy and positioned it as a serious coffee brand instead of merch.

she picked a product she actually used and her audience already loved, made it genuinely good instead of a cash-grab, and treated it like a real business.

four roommates made $220 million selling wet wipes. to men.

The brand is . they were using baby wipes after the toilet, looked at the packaging — pastel colors, soft fonts, a smiling baby — and thought, why's there nothing like this for guys?

every investor said no. so they funded it on debt: buy a pallet, sell it, pay it back, repeat.

and here's the thing — a wet wipe is a wet wipe. cottonelle makes the same product for half the price. so they didn't argue theirs was better. they made it obvious who it's for. the name, the black pack, the tone. it all screams man.

then they got mark cuban on shark tank for $300k — but the real win wasn't the money. it was walking into walmart as "the shark tank brand."

and their site? it points you to walmart, amazon, target. they just build the brand everywhere and let you buy wherever you already shop.

The brand is Ruggable and they sell rugs where the top layer peels off and goes straight in your washer.   Jeneva Bell kept ruining her rugs and couldn’t find a single one you could actually clean at home, so she spent years figuring out how to make one that comes apart and goes in a normal washing machine.

here’s why it blew up: the product is the marketing.

a normal rug ad is “pretty vintage 8x10.” boring. ruggable’s ad is someone spilling red w**e on the rug, tossing it in the wash, and pulling it out spotless. that’s a demo people actually stop for.

pet owners, parents, clumsy people — they tag their friends who need it, because everyone knows someone whose rug is destroyed.

and they have endless designs. the washable system stays the same, they just put any style on top. one product, thousands of reasons to buy.

then online it’s the classic dtc loop: the demo hooks you, the catalog means there’s a rug for every room and taste, and once you’ve bought, retargeting and reviews nudge you toward the next one.

A father and son turned a metal wallet into a $300 million brand.

The brand is Ridge Daniel and Paul realized the one thing everybody hated about carrying a wallet — that fat leather brick wrecking your back pocket. so they fixed it: a minimalist wallet that holds your cards and cash in a tiny metal clip.

but the real engine is how they market. ridge figured out people skip ads, so instead of running them, they pay creators to talk about the wallet inside their own videos. they’ve sponsored over 5,000 of them and put 10 to 20% of revenue straight into it.

and they don’t guess who works. every creator gets a unique code, they run a few test videos first, then pour money into the ones that actually sell and drop the rest.

then once they nailed one product, they turned it into a whole line — rings, bags, chargers, knives. same minimalist look, sold to the customer they’d already won.

The brand is mellow sleep

Chad Keller and jay didn’t ask how to make nicer bedding. they asked what actually goes wrong when you sleep: you overheat, your neck hurts, your pillow goes flat. so they built one product around that — a $50 pillow designed with chiropractors.

one problem, one pillow, so creators always knew what to film.

and here’s the move: instead of paying influencers, mellow just sends the pillow to tons of creators and lets tiktok shop pay them a commission on every sale. more sales, more money for them, which pulls in more creators.

but the real money isn’t on tiktok. it’s their own site. tiktok gets you one $50 pillow — the site is where the basket grows. they discount hard, like $100 off a $300 order. that kills the hesitation of buying from a brand you just found, and it pushes you to spend $300.

then they give you stuff to hit that number: the pillow bundled with the comforter, the sheets, the eye mask. you walk in for one pillow and leave with the whole bed.

The brand is Magic Spoon   High-protein, zero-sugar cereal that tastes like the sugary stuff you grew up on. And they did almost everything right: genius nostalgia marketing, podcast ads on rogan, a subscription people actually stuck with.

then they raised $85 million and rushed into retail. target, walmart, 6,800 stores.

that’s where it broke. online, they could justify $10 a box with content and subscription deals. on a shelf, you’re just comparing a tiny $10 box to the giant $4 one right next to it. the whole story falls apart.

the lesson: what works online doesn’t always work in a store.

The brand is David Peter Rahal co-founded rxbar and sold it to kellogg’s for $600M. then he did it again — this time with almost impossible macros: 28g protein, 150 calories, zero sugar.

most brands drown you in claims. david picked one number and hammered it: 75% of the calories come from protein. quest and barebells sit around 45. instead of a vague claim, you get a stat you can screenshot.

and they didn’t wait for launch day to sell. they shipped free bars to the first 5,000 people on the waitlist, and those people posted taste tests everywhere. by the time david actually opened, they did $10 million in three weeks.

then the checkout does the rest — it’s basically a game. as you add bars, a progress bar unlocks free shipping, then a free gift, then a free carton. people keep adding to hit the next reward.

and the biggest lever is tiktok shop: thousands of creators pushing the bars at once, with david barely lifting a finger.

the brand is SALT & STONE Nima founded it in 2017 out of a studio apartment in la. no vc, profitable from day one, a one-man show for three years.

what makes it different: he refused the beauty playbook entirely. no influencer-led strategy. no sustainability-as-the-whole-story. no founder content — his bio is buried on the site on purpose. he took his cues from nike and apple instead and called it “the apple of personal care.”

the product strategy is one question: how scent-forward is this, and how elevated can the design be? five scent universes, and on the site you filter by scent, not product type.

the growth engine: 260+ meta ads at any time, all built on one hook — “what are you wearing?” one tiktok creator did 13.8m views and sold them out. no discounts, ever.

then 15 pe firms competed for the deal.

the brand is Away

In 2015, Jen’s suitcase broke in the middle of an airport. she taped it shut, called her friend steph, and they realized the luggage industry had a hole in it — $40 bags that fall apart, $800 ones nobody can afford, nothing in between.

so they built a $225 carry-on.

here’s the model. luggage normally goes factory → wholesaler → distributor → macy’s → you, with a markup at every stop. away sold straight to you. better bag, half the price, and they owned the customer.

but luggage isn’t coffee. you buy it once every few years. so they had two options: sell each customer more stuff, or keep the brand so hot that new people never stop showing up.

they chose hype. their own travel magazine. a podcast. influencer trips instead of influencer fees.

it worked — a $1.4 billion valuation in under four years.

then a toxic culture report dropped, the ceo stepped down, and covid stopped travel completely.

they’re still here. the magic isn’t.

The brand is HigherDOSE

laurenberlingeri and Katie Kaps were running infrared sauna pop-ups with portable blankets when they noticed everyone kept asking to buy one. that was the business.

their stuff isn’t cheap — the red-light mask alone is over $300. and charging that online is hard, so look at what their site does.

the popup isn’t “here’s 10% off.” it asks what your wellness goal is — sleep, detox, recovery — then points you to the right product. you get a recommendation instead of a discount, and they learn exactly what you care about for their emails.

then the product page earns the price: real clinical results, actual doctors and nurses on camera, and an HSA/FSA-eligible badge. it reads like a health tool, not a splurge.

that’s how you sell a $300 gadget online.
