Breed-specific pet nutrition sold direct-to-consumer via e-commerce
HEY HOLY sells customized pet food formulated by breed, not generic kibble. The tech stack is pure e-commerce + performance marketing (Shopify, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Hotjar), and the hiring tells the story: 12 marketing roles against 1 sales hire, with a newly appointed Performance Marketing Director. Pain points cluster around paid-channel ROI, customer acquisition cost, and subscription retention — typical for a D2C brand fighting unit economics in a crowded pet category.
