Its products are designed to deliver high-performance cooking with easy maintenance, backed by a focus on innovation, durability, and long-term usability.

Target-icon
Challenge

HexClad was already crushing it, but to reach the next phase, they needed the right people in place.

They were looking to scale through strategic hires, both in Los Angeles and remotely. 

At that level, growth introduces a different challenge... keeping the business efficient, aligned, and scalable as complexity increases.

  • Performance marketing was scaling
  • Order volume was rapidly increasing
  • Core functions needed stronger ownership
  • Key systems (retention, operations) weren’t built to match scale

The risk wasn’t growth slowing down.

It was growth becoming inefficient and harder to manage.

What we did

We partnered with HexClad to build out critical functions across retention, operations, and eCommerce—ensuring the business could scale efficiently.

Key hires included:

Head of Retention
Transformed retention into a performance-driven channel. Aligned email and lifecycle with paid media.

Retention Manager
Built and executed the day-to-day lifecycle engine. Structured campaigns, flows, and optimization processes in-house.

Head of Operations
Brought structure to a rapidly scaling business. Optimized workflows, improved execution, and ensured the company could handle increasing order volume without operational breakdowns. This role became critical in keeping the business running smoothly at scale.

Broader Team Impact

Beyond these core roles, we supported 8–9 total hires across:

  • Creative
  • Performance marketing
  • eCommerce operations

We also helped transition and place talent locally in Los Angeles, improving collaboration and execution speed across teams.
