Every week we will take a deep dive into a business and share with you some of their marketing & business strategies that helped these businesses scale.
In Episode #5, we dissect into Gymshark’s business & marketing strategy that was founded in June 2012 by Ben Francis (a 19 year-old teenager at that time). The business focused on gym sportswear that was comfortable and fitted. By focusing on a specific niche, Ben was able to differentiate from its competitors like Nike, Under Armour and so forth because he wasn’t making athletic gear just for everyone – it was more geared towards fitness enthusiasts.
