A few years ago, Alexander Simonelli, who had no prior experience in the food and beverage industry, swapped out his condo and his sales job for his parents’ home and a big idea, which evolved into a one-of-a-kind company; Daydream. A sugar-free, flavored sparkling water, infused with adaptogens that reduce stress, and a digital-native brand strategy, Daydream is unlike any other product on the market. In today’s episode, Alex shares some insider information as Daydream’s Founder and CEO about the lucky break that helped him establish who his target market is, the people who have been instrumental in helping him build his business, and why he puts a huge amount of resources into marketing and doesn’t often offer discounts, as well as what he is hoping to achieve with his products (which are mesmerizingly packaged and absolutely delicious)! Daydream is not just a beverage, it’s a lifestyle brand, a work of art, and possibly the future of functional drinks. Make sure to tune in today to learn more about living in the moment, taking big risks, and reimagining the functional beverages industry!
