Marketing a New Category

Kyle Season 1 Episode 1

Hosts Kyle Goldman and Isaiah Ogasawara sit down with Benjamin de Castro, Chief Marketing Officer at Gardyn, to explore what it takes to change consumer behavior and build a new category in food and wellness.

Ben shares how Gardyn turns non-gardeners into confident growers, how to market high-ticket products without a retail footprint, and why emotional connection is the key to making behavior change stick.

He also gets into the role of AI in smart gardening and marketing as a whole, the reality behind grocery store produce, and the three elements every strong value proposition needs.
