Join Andrea Grand, Co-Founder of Barbet, for a conversation about building a brand that stands out, and stands for something. Learn how thoughtful storytelling, community building, and culture first marketing can transform a personal idea into a movement.

Andrea Grand

Co-Founder

Andrea Grand is the co-founder of Barbet, a sparkling beverage brand for the “sober curious” generation, those looking to drink less without compromising on experience. With a background in brand building and a sharp eye for design, Andrea helped launch Barbet as a mission-driven alternative that’s as joyful and elevated as any cocktail.

From Idea to Identity

How Barbet went from a personal story to a shelf-ready brand, and the foundational choices that shaped its visual identity, tone of voice, and mission.
02
Designing Desire in a Crowded Market

Standing out in the beverage aisle is no small feat. Andrea breaks down how Barbet’s visual storytelling, merch strategy, and community partnerships helped build instant shelf appeal and long-term loyalty.
03
Marketing with Soul

Why Barbet’s marketing is about more than product, and how values, voice, and vibes can drive deep emotional connections with modern consumers.
