SmashMallow Introduces Snackable Marshmallows to Natural Products Expo and Welcomes Stephanie McGregor as Vice President of Marketing

    ANAHEIM, CA, March 03, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- SmashMallow, a premium snackable marshmallow brand founded by Jon Sebastiani, will delight attendees at Natural Products Expo West through their debut at the West Coast show. This trade show appearance also marks SmashMallow's first brand-specific hire, with the addition of Stephanie McGregor as Vice President of Marketing. SmashMallow invites attendees to satisfy their sweet tooth and sample the brand's seven flavor "smash-ups" at Booth #H515 at the Anaheim Hilton trade show location.

McGregor joins SmashMallow with vast experience in the start-up space. Most recently she held the Director of Marketing position at barkTHINS snacking chocolate where she led brand strategy, field marketing architecture and execution, public relations and digital strategy, and optimization and development of the brand's first integrated marketing campaign; helping to ultimately position the brand for acquisition by the Hershey Company in April 2016. Prior to joining barkTHINS, McGregor spent 10 years working to bring brands such as Red Bull, Clif bar, and vitaminwater to life, while earning her degree in Speech Rhetoric and Marketing from Metropolitan State College in Denver. She went on to hold sales and marketing roles, such as Director of Field Marketing at popchips, Director of Shopper Marketing at KRAVE Jerky and Director of PNW Sales at barkTHINS.

"Stephanie brings an incredible wealth of knowledge after having helped to build some of the most exciting brands of the last decade," said Founder of Sonoma Brands, Jon Sebastiani. "She has a deeply rooted understanding of this category and we know that her expertise will continue to help elevate the brand above and beyond what people expect from a traditional marshmallow. America is discovering that SmashMallow provides a less guilty sweet snack that has clean ingredients and offers a far superior health proposition than other treats that are made with corn syrup and are high in calories. We are excited to have attendees experience SmashMallow first-hand for a sweet pick-me-up at the show."

SmashMallow offers a delectable snack with unique flavor offerings including: Mint Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon Churro, Strawberries & Cream, Meyer Lemon Chia Seed, Root Beer Float, Toasted Coconut Pineapple, and Espresso Bean. They are gluten-free, low in calories and made with organic and natural ingredients.
