It has claimed the marketing crown thanks to its purpose-driven marketing, as well as out-of-the-box campaigns. After a successful appearance on Dragons&rsquo; Den, Fussy collaborated with Deborah Meaden to compose a Christmas song, using armpit fart noises as instruments (we did say it was out-of-the box).&nbsp;<\/span>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fussy claimed the top spot because of its daring approach. Following loud criticism of the carbon impact of its main rival, Unilever, the brand made headlines after it left an olive tree outside the Unilever HQ as an apology. The bold move established it as a challenger brand and has landed the great-smelling products in the aisles of Tesco, Wholefoods, and Ocado.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What did Finn Lagun have to say?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;The sheer daring to take on an organisation as big and powerful as Unilever &ndash; this could&rsquo;ve gotten Fussy into deep waters, and that&rsquo;s what growth hacking is all about. It has not only appeared on Dragon&rsquo;s Den, but has also leveraged this thereafter in its marketing to great effect. I like to call this &lsquo;brand piggybacking&rsquo; &ndash; when a smaller challenger brand aligns itself with a bigger partner to benefit from its wider halo effect.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>SHORTLISTED &ndash; Bold Bean Co<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157222 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bold-Bean-Co.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bold-Bean-Co.jpg 706w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bold-Bean-Co-480x312.jpg 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bold-Bean-Co-640x416.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/startups-100\/2024\/bold-bean-2024\">Bold Bean Co<\/a>, an F&B brand that makes tasty premium-tasting bean jars, made the shortlist because of the effectiveness of its organic content and brand credentials. In an effort to change the way we view a staid category like beans, Bold Bean Co has focused on sharing what it coined &lsquo;beanspo&rsquo;, recipe video content that shares tasty ways to cook the product rather than investing in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/marketing\/tips\/how-to-use-pay-per-click-advertising\/\"><b>paid advertising<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With over 70k followers across TikTok and Instagram, Bold Bean Co collaborates with chefs and content creators to share recipes with its budding bean community. This helps to build its brand awareness, while also giving customers added value. Winner winner, bean dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What did Finn Lagun have to say?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;Bold Bean Co is an extremely fresh, vibrant and fun take on a previously downtrodden and underloved ingredient. It is Gen Z friendly and has strong social engagement &ndash; my compliments to Amelia and Ed for managing to make beans aspirational enough to register this way.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>SHORTLISTED &ndash; JUBEL<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157223 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JUBEL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JUBEL.jpg 706w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JUBEL-480x313.jpg 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JUBEL-640x417.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/startups-100\/2024\/jubel-2024\">Jubel<\/a> is a challenger brand disrupting the drinks industry with its refreshing beer product that uniquely combines fruit cider with the seasonality of a crisp lager.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earlier this year, JUBEL launched its Where&rsquo;s Wally campaign to celebrate being sold in over 500 Tescos &ndash; customers had to try and find the character Wally in stores to be in with a chance to win &pound;5,000. The brand also made headlines after pulling an anti-Brew Dog stunt, wherein it encouraged rugby fans to chuck cans of BrewDog into a toilet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Impressively, versus a beer industry average of 83% male consumers, 50% of JUBEL&rsquo;s consumers are female; a testament to its efforts to position itself as a more diverse and inclusive beer product in a male-centric market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What did Finn Lagun have to say?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;In a crowded market, it was thoughtful of the JUBEL team to take a step back to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/marketing\/target-marketing\/\"><b>identify an untapped market<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> within beer &ndash; female consumers. Identifying this gap in the market was an important step in creating space for early-stage awareness generation and cut through. It&rsquo;s also great and daring to give BrewDog a taste of its own medicine: this could have backfired, given BrewDog&rsquo;s propensity for confrontation!&rsquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>SHORTLISTED &ndash; PerfectTed<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157220 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PerfectTed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PerfectTed.jpg 706w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PerfectTed-480x313.jpg 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PerfectTed-640x417.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At first glance, <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/startups-100\/2024\/perfectted\">PerfectTed<\/a> is just another energy drink. But during competitor analysis, founder Marisa says she felt there were few options that appealed to her as a woman. Red Bull, Monster, and Rockstar, all appeared pretty hyper-masculine in their approach. Sensing that creating something that would resonate with more people and be more accessible, PerfectTed&rsquo;s clever narrative hinges on creating an inclusive caffeinated drink for those with anxiety and ADHD &ndash; without the crashes and the jitters.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notable campaigns include the Hardest Geezer Meal Deal Challenge, in partnership with Russ Cook. Wanting to support his mission to be the first man to run the full length of Africa, the PerfectTed founders flew to Angola to meet Cook and give him the &lsquo;ideal&rsquo; energetic meal deal complete with a PerfectTed can.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What did Finn Lagun have to say?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lagun praised how deploying creativity to create interesting, stand out branding can help generate intrigue around the brand, albeit with limited resources at the early stage. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s great to apply to Dragons&rsquo; Den and raise awareness in this way,&rdquo; he adds. &ldquo;We did the same at Pasta Evangelists!&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>SHORTLISTED &ndash; THIS&trade;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-148355 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/THIS-founders.jpg\" alt=\"THIS founders\" width=\"706\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/THIS-founders.jpg 706w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/THIS-founders-480x313.jpg 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/THIS-founders-640x417.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/THIS-founders-172x112.jpg 172w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Establishing itself as a leader in the plant-based meat market, <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/startups-100\/2024\/this-2024\">THIS&trade;<\/a> has made our shortlist because of its guerilla marketing efforts that have seen it become the best known meat substitute on the market. Rather than focusing on sustainability and ethical messaging, the company places humour at the forefront, ensuring it is appealing to meat-eaters, not just preaching to nicher vegan audiences.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To achieve this, THIS has performed a series of stunts, tricking over 7,000 people into thinking they are eating meat &ndash; from high-profile influencers to an entire Italian food show. It also &lsquo;sponsored&rsquo; the town of Quorn in Leicestershire as a dig against their meat free rival Quorn, and released a bacon-scented perfume to horrify and intrigue consumers in equal amounts.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What did Finn Lagun have to say?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;THIS has done a great job of its overall marketing,&rdquo; Lagun notes. He commends the brand for adopting a disruptive brand tone in its messaging.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>What does our shortlist say about the future for startup marketing?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We&rsquo;ve highlighted five businesses that are rejuvenating the marketing space by thinking creatively and doing something different to competitors. So what learnings can fellow startup owners take away from this year&rsquo;s shortlist?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;An online presence remains extremely important, and perhaps increasingly important,&rdquo; Lagun notes. &ldquo;In terms of community and social media marketing &ndash; as Gen Z&rsquo;s purchasing power grows, it&rsquo;s important brands are able to communicate directly with their audiences.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, Lagun cautions that marketing teams must move away from the assumption that they can simply conquer ecommerce to succeed. In his view, digital acquisition has peaked. Amid evolving consumer habits and high CPAs, strategic thinking is now required to grab consumer attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;More than ever, brands are having to leverage creativity and, in some cases, sheer chutzpah to grow their business,&rdquo; he highlights.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In some ways, marketing is going back to its origins. Big budgets and audiences are no longer enough &ndash; it&rsquo;s all about the ingenuity and psychology of what makes customers do a double take.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;Brands that listen to customers will get the best responses from them,&rdquo; Lagun concludes.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<\/p><div class=\"form-simple\" data-eventcategory=\"feedback\" data-eventaction=\"Email-Subscribe\">\n <form target=\"_blank\" class=\"form-subscribe\" id=\"form-subscribe\">\n\n <div class=\"form-loader\">\n <div class=\"spinner-box\">\n <span class=\"spin-loader\"><\/span>\n <p class=\"form-loader-text\">Verifying<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"form-subscribe-info\">\n <p class=\"form-subscribe-title\">Get the latest startup news, straight to your inbox<\/p>\n <p class=\"form-subscribe-subtitle\">Stay informed on the top business stories with Startups.co.uk&rsquo;s weekly newsletter<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"form-subscribe-box\">\n <div class=\"input-row input-row-text\">\n <input type=\"text\" class=\"form-control\" name=\"first_name\" placeholder=\"Name\" required>\n <span class=\"input-row-error\">Please fill in your name<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"input-row input-row-email\">\n <input type=\"email\" class=\"form-control\" name=\"email_address\" placeholder=\"Email Address\" required>\n <span class=\"input-row-error\">Please fill in your email<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"google-inline-captcha\">\n <div class=\"captcha-message\">\n <span class=\"btn-close\"><\/span>\n <span class=\"form-messages\"><\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <button class=\"form-subscribe-button btn\" type=\"submit\" data-eventlabel=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157218\">\n Subscribe <\/button>\n <\/div>\n\n <p class=\"form-subscribe-privacy-policy\">\n By signing up to receive our newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.mvfglobal.com\/privacypolicy\/b649e\" title=\"Privacy Policy\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.
