Marketing Associate
Elements Brands is a portfolio of high quality consumer products brands with a specific focus on the personal care, organics, and outdoor sports markets. We identify niche consumer markets that are underserved or forced to use generic brands for specific use cases, then develop extremely high quality, custom-engineered products for those customers. This means we deeply understand our specific customer base and create brands they love and identify with.
In addition to launching our own products, we also seek to acquire small brands with strong customer loyalty and significant potential for organic growth. We have a specific focus on acquiring “mom and pop” or “lifestyle” businesses and scaling them to the next level by focusing on e-commerce, marketing, and business automation.

• Oversee the design and maintenance of the websites for each of our brands.
