Everything you're afraid to ask.

What does Golden Hippo actually do?
As a leader in direct-to-consumer marketing, we're the dynamic force behind 20+ health, beauty, and pet care brands that generate over $1 billion in revenue annually.

What brands do you own?
We get it—we're pretty mysterious when it comes to the brands and products we create and it adds a certain intrigue. Our deliberate choice to keep things under wraps is because our brands are vast and our sales model is unique.
While we won't spill all the secrets, we're happy to share a few glimpses. Check out some examples of our brands here.
