Case Study
simply FUEL
About the Client and Project
The requests to buy Mitzi’s protein balls started during the MLB playoffs when all the local television stations did stories about Mitzi’s balls helping to fuel the Royals’ success. After encouragement from her other nutrition entrepreneur friends, Mitzi decided it was time to make the balls a business.
She started getting orders from other sports teams and engaged the help from some of her mom friends who would come over to Mitzi’s kitchen and help roll balls until they had to pick their kids up from school. They are no longer in her kitchen. It’s been a wild ride and we are so grateful for all the protein ball love and how so many families and sports teams love fueling with simplyFUEL. We are excited for our future.
