In this episode of The Promo Playbook, co-hosts Lisa Fosdick and Kimberly Ballerene lead a powerful conversation with Brittany David, SnugZ USA's Chief Revenue Officer. From navigating the chaos of the pandemic to leveraging AI, partnerships, and product strategy, Brittany shares exactly how SnugZ evolved into a $92M supplier powerhouse.
