Show Notes

How do you build a science-first wellness brand that can survive (and lead) in one of the most crowded categories in the world for 22+ years?


In this Marketingland Festival 2025 session, Dr. Anna Persaud, CEO and founder of This Works, walks through the brand-building decisions behind turning a wellness brand into an international leader, known for creating the pillow spray category.


From pioneering circadian-rhythm-backed sleep solutions to building trust through clinical trials, neuroscience partnerships, and over 200 awards, she unpacks what it takes to win long-term: purpose, proof, relevance, and innovation.


You’ll also learn: 

  • How to turn scientific credibility into a competitive advantage

  • Why pivoting with the “bedtime economy” proved to be the best move for Anna and her team

  • How to reframe “failed” products

If you’re building a wellness brand, redefining your category, or trying to scale trust in a noisy market, this conversation is for you.
