Scrub Daddy is a revolutionary sponge that adjusts its scrubbing texture based on water temperature. In warm

water, it becomes soft and compressible; in cold water it becomes firm to give you even more scrubbing power.

The sponge became an instant hit when its creator appeared on Shark Tank and secured a relationship with a

prominent investor.

in mutual trust, collaboration, and innovation, through which we’ve achieved incredible success.

STEP 2— POSITIONProduct discoverability & brand building

Positioning Scrub Daddy on the first page of search results has always been a primary focus. Through our

best-in-class strategies, we consistently maintain a sub-500 rank on Amazon and exceptional visibility

on all marketplaces.

Amazon Listing Optimization

Implementing Enhanced Brand Content (EBC) to the 4-pack, multicolor bundle listing led to a 36.5%

increase in the number of sessions over a three month period. EBC allows us to include more details

about the Scrub Daddy product and brand that wouldn’t otherwise fit in standard Amazon listing content.

In the case of another Scrub Daddy product, the Scrub Mommy, we combined multiple pack sizes into a

variation listing, which helped expedite the discoverability and buyability of the listing.

477%increase in units sold from date of variation creation
