Building a Strategic Partnership

What did we do to partner with the client?

Mighty Swell, a Spiked Seltzer brand, was on the brink of significant growth when they were acquired by Lemonati in 2023. Recognizing the need for strategic operational support, Protis Global stepped in to help Mighty Swell navigate this transition. With their CEO becoming the President of Lemonati, the integration of Mighty Swell into the new structure was crucial.

Our journey began by understanding the unique challenges Mighty Swell faced. The new warehouse in North Carolina was a pivotal part of their growth strategy, and filling the Director of Warehouse Operations role was essential. We collaborated closely with the leadership, immersing ourselves in their culture and operational needs.

A Protis Global team member visited their HQ, providing invaluable insights into the daily operations and the specific requirements for on-site roles. This deep engagement helped us build a trusted partnership, ensuring we identified candidates who were not only skilled but also a perfect cultural fit.

Delivering Strategic Solutions

Our efforts culminated in the successful placement of the Director of Warehouse Operations, a critical role for the new facility’s launch. This role was vital in enhancing logistical operations and ensuring the smooth transition of inventory and equipment.

Additionally, we placed a Territory Sales Manager for the Southeast and a Marketing Assistant, strengthening the marketing and sales teams. These roles were crucial in supporting Mighty Swell’s market expansion and operational efficiency.

The results were tangible and impactful. Since the beginning of the year, margins have increased by 5%, and COGS has decreased by 8% due to the efficiencies brought by the new warehouse. By moving packaging operations in-house, costs per case have dramatically dropped from $1.78-$2.50 to just 19 cents. This significant reduction in costs has been a game-changer for Mighty Swell.

How has the client grown?

Mighty Swell’s growth trajectory has been impressive. The new facility in North Carolina has not only enhanced their operational capacity but also allowed them to expand into new markets. The strategic placements have supported the launch of new product lines and increased market presence, contributing to their overall success.

How has the client reached their business objectives?

By securing top talent in critical roles, Mighty Swell has been able to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance their market reach. The partnership with Protis Global has enabled them to maintain their commitment to quality and sustainability while driving ongoing success and expansion.

The collaboration between Protis Global and Mighty Swell demonstrates the power of targeted talent solutions and strategic advisement in achieving business objectives and fostering growth.
