Launching a Timeless Luxury Candle Brand with Cassity Brown of St. Brown & Co.

Cassity Brown is the owner and operator of St. Brown & Co., a luxury candle brand based in Orange County, California offering hand-poured luxury candles made with a vegan wax blend. As the daughter of entrepreneurial parents, Cassity was inspired to launch her company out of a desire to create a timeless, luxurious brand of her own – as well as a dash of ‘divine intervention.’. She holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration from the George L. Argyros School of Business and Economics and has recently launched a business consultation company aimed at helping entrepreneurs achieve tangible solutions to some of their most complex challenges.

Cassity joins us today to share the inspiration behind launching her luxury candle brand, St. Brown & Co., and the lessons she’s learned along the way. We discuss the trial and error phase of launching her signature line of products, the marketing strategies she explored when starting the business, and how she eventually branched out to offer her products to wholesale customers. She highlights the importance of staying open to change and being fearless about asking questions. We also discuss strategies to pitch your business to media publications and what inspired Cassity to launch her consulting company.

“When you make pivots – it’s always to make the brand better. That’s never a bad thing.” – Cassity Brown
