AYMI · Prepared for Hurom America
Growth Proposal August 2026 v1.1
For Brian Crandall · Head of Marketing & Sales

The engine behind
healthy living made easy.

A creator-led demand system for Hurom America — community, short-form, affiliates, and full-funnel paid working as one motion — so Easy Clean wins the cart against Nama without living on discount codes.

Prepared for Brian Crandall · Hurom America (NYC)
Built around Community · Creators · Content · Paid
Shape Alongside your team — not instead of it
Aligned to you

What we heard in your motion: social + influencer community, short-form / vlog-style education, affiliate gifting, newsletter, and a lean NYC team that needs senior bandwidth without another agency that only buys media. This proposal is built for that stack — AYMI runs the system next to Brian, not a replacement hire and not a slide-deck strategy shop.

§ 01 · The Opportunity

You invented slow juicing.
Own the habit next.

Hurom’s product moat is real. The open job is turning “make healthy living easier” into a daily content-and-community machine that compounds.

Hurom America sits on a rare stack: 50+ years of Slow Squeeze Technology, Easy Clean as a concrete quit-proof (strainer-free clean), a $399–$1,499 ladder on Shopify, a 15-year warranty on flagship models, chef and athlete proof already in market, and Brian owning marketing + sales end-to-end from NYC.

The gap isn’t another brand film. It’s an operating system for the work your listings already describe: short-form that educates, creators who demonstrate, affiliates who gift and convert, community replies that feel human, and paid that amplifies winners — week after week — so Nama’s hands-free story doesn’t become the default “best juicer” answer by default.

AYMI installs that system: a Hurom Habit Engine — persona-matched creative + creator bench + affiliate loop + consideration landers + lifecycle — measured on MER, blended CAC, attach rate, and creative half-life. You keep the brand voice and the relationships. We keep the cadence from breaking.

§ 02 · The Shift

Where you are vs.
where this takes you.

Six surfaces that matter for a premium juicer brand with a lean U.S. team.

Creators &
Community
Current

Strong instincts (chef ambassadors, athlete moments, community asks). Risk of campaign spikes instead of an always-on bench with briefs, usage rights, and reply coverage.

With AYMI

Always-on creator + affiliate roster. Briefs ban pure discount hooks. Whitelist path into paid. Community response playbook so social doesn’t die in the DMs.

Short-form
& Content
Current

Product films and catalog work exist. Easy Clean and clean-time proof should be the default hook — not buried under lifestyle-only or promo-led cuts.

With AYMI

Weekly short-form factory: clean-time stopwatch, batch ritual, protocol yield, inventor authority. Every organic cut is born as a paid test. Juicing Academy as serial retention.

Paid
Full Funnel
Current

Prior partners proved education-led full funnel works (public cases: large CPA drops when leaving always-on-sale creative). Promo gravity returns when creative fatigues.

With AYMI

TOFU education → MOFU comparison → BOFU offer. Meta + TikTok + Google. Kill/scale weekly. Codes are a lever with holdouts — never the brief default.

Consideration
& Site
Current

Solid Shopify PDPs and compare tools. High AOV still means multi-session paths; paid traffic needs landers that match the ad promise.

With AYMI

Model-match quiz + persona landers (Easy Clean / Batch / Protocol). Nama–Kuvings–Omega compare modules. Warranty and clean-time above the fold on every paid destination.

Lifecycle
& Affiliate
Current

Email for launches, recipes, sales. Affiliate/gifting interest is clear from hiring — needs a program spine, not one-off boxes.

With AYMI

Five flows + weekly brand note. Day-0→90 Academy. Accessories attach. Structured affiliate gifting + tracking. Referral ask at peak satisfaction.

Ops for a
lean team
Current

Brian owns the whole surface. IC hires help produce; they don’t replace a system owner for paid + creative testing + measurement.

With AYMI

Live dashboard (MER, CAC, attach, creative half-life). Weekly ritual. Brief factory so creators ship on-spec. AYMI beside the hire — production + performance, not politics.

§ 03 · Directional Benchmarks

What “working” looks like
in twelve months.

Illustrative targets for a Growth System–shaped engagement. Recalibrated to your live MER and CAC in week one.

Compare & Easy Clean SERP

Directional only — not a guarantee. Public Hurom partner cases (education-led full funnel, large CPA reductions vs. always-on-sale creative) show the ceiling when creative and funnel align. Your baseline and Nama pressure set the floor.

§ 04 · Three Buyers, One Ladder

Not “health people.”
Three specific juicers.

Each persona needs a different first video, a different model, and a different creator type.

The Easy-Clean Convert
Tried juicing. Quit because cleanup took longer than the glass. Will pay $449–$749 for sub-2-minute clean and low pulp — not for another 20% off code.
→ H310 / H70 / H400 Easy Clean
→ Stopwatch UGC · strainer-free demos · “I quit until…” hooks
The Batch Family
Juices 3–4×/week. Compares Nama J2 on hopper and hands-free. Needs yield, quiet mornings, juice that holds 48–72 hours, and a warranty that makes $600 feel rational.
→ H400 / H70 / H330
→ Sunday batch rituals · family proof · Nama compare charts
The Protocol Regular
Celery / greens / gut-skin routines. Already sold on juicing. Shopping yield and durability across Omega, Kuvings, Nama. Trusts creators over brand ads.
→ Horizontal celery + H-series greens
→ Protocol creators · yield tests · 15-year warranty as tool proof

Shared wedge: Hurom is the slow juicer you keep using — Easy Clean removes the quit reason, Slow Squeeze protects why they started, warranty makes AOV feel smart. CP50 commercial stays a separate foodservice lane inside Full Revenue OS.

§ 05 · The Habit Engine

Community in · paid out ·
habit on loop.

High-ticket appliances don’t close on one cold click. The brand that owns the weekly habit owns the purchase.

One system: creators and affiliates feed content → content feeds paid → paid lands on matched consideration paths → lifecycle turns first juice into month three.

Four surfaces, one brief language: (1) creator + affiliate bench with gifting, usage rights, and whitelist; (2) short-form factory scored on hook / clean-time / yield / proof; (3) quiz + persona landers so Easy Clean, Batch, and Protocol each get their own path; (4) Academy lifecycle so the 15-year warranty brand actually behaves like a relationship, not a one-time SKU.

The Hurom Habit Funnel

From cold scroll to installed habit.

01
Spark
Creator/UGC on clean-time, quiet batch, or protocol yield. No hard sell. Traffic to quiz or education lander.
02
Match
Quiz routes H310 / H70 / H400 / H330 / celery / CP50. Email + persona tag captured.
03
Proof
MOFU retarget: side-by-sides, warranty, chef/athlete, reviews. Lander mirrors the ad.
04
Commit
BOFU offer only after proof. Bundle accessories. Cart + browse flows. Affiliate-assisted close where live.
05
Habit
Day-0–90 Academy. Recipes by persona. Clean-care. Warranty registration.
06
Compound
Attach, referral, gift/second unit, affiliate reorder, commercial upsell when relevant.

Target: Stabilize blended CAC while growing DTC; lift owned-channel share; hit 15%+ attach; keep 8–12 net-new concepts/month so promo codes stay optional.

§ 06 · Content & Creator Engine

Short-form that sells
the second glass.

Matched to how Hurom already hires and briefs: social, vlog-style education, design, community, affiliates.

01 · Clean-Time Proof
Easy-Clean Convert

Strainer-free stopwatch demos, pulp trays, “I quit juicing until Hurom.” Primary paid source for H310 / H70 / H400.

02 · Batch Ritual
Batch Family

Sunday prep, quiet 6am, yield checks. Direct counter to Nama hopper lore with Hurom specs + warranty.

03 · Protocol & Performance
Protocol Regular

Celery/greens yield, claim-safe wellness education, athlete/chef routines. Creator-led, not brand-lectured.

04 · Inventor Authority
All + PR / AEO

50-year R&D, SST explainers, Red Dot/IF, warranty stories, Juicing Academy serials — the moat Nama can’t buy overnight.

Creator & affiliate bench
  • 8–15 always-on creators (health, home, protocol)
  • Briefs with hook / proof / clean-time / CTA slots
  • Paid usage + whitelist on winners
  • Gifting program with tracking + tier goals
  • Affiliate outreach + relationship cadences
Operating cadence
  • 8–12 net-new ad concepts / month
  • 4–6 short-form organics / week from winners
  • 2 long-form education pieces / month (SEO + AEO)
  • 1 Academy episode / month
  • Weekly community + comment response block
§ 08 · SEO, AEO & Compare

Own “which juicer”
before the cart.

Nama is winning lifestyle search. Hurom should win the decision queries.

Comparison cluster: vs Nama J2, Kuvings, Omega, Breville — specs, clean time, warranty, price band. Updated quarterly. Cited in ads.

Easy Clean hub: strainer-free tech, mineral buildup, care guides. Model pages interlink to hub + quiz.

AEO-ready FAQs: warranty facts, authorized sellers, claim-safe nutrition language so roundups and assistants lift accurate copy.

§ 09 · Lifecycle & Email

The order is day
zero of the relationship.

A 15-year warranty brand that only emails sales leaves the warranty’s job unfinished.

  • Browse / cart abandonment — proof first (clean-time, reviews, compare); code only on last touch with holdout.
  • Post-purchase Day 0–14 — unbox, first juice, clean ritual, warranty reg, recipe link.
  • First 90 juices — Academy drip by persona; accessories attach (hoppers, citrus, parts).
  • Winback / gift / replenish — seasonal produce, second unit, gifting moments.
  • Referral & review — ask at peak satisfaction; pipe UGC back to the paid bench.
  • Weekly brand note — recipe + one proof beat; sales secondary. BFCM planned 6 weeks out.
§ 10 · Conversion Infrastructure

Make the $600 decision
feel obvious.

CRO here is education architecture and trust density — not button folklore.

Persona landers that match the ad. Sticky compare. Reviews + 15-year warranty above the fold. Quiz → pre-selected model + accessories bundle. PDP clean-time video near price. Funnel events for quiz, scroll, warranty-reg, attach — not purchase alone.

§ 11 · Ops for a Lean Team

Senior bandwidth next to
Brian — not instead of Brian.

Hurom America is a small U.S. arm. The layer has to multiply the bench you already have.

  • Live growth dashboard — MER, blended CAC, new/returning, channel mix, creative half-life, attach rate.
  • Creative intelligence — hook/angle tags; fatigue and winner patterns into next week’s tests.
  • Brief factory — persona × pillar × offer so creators and editors ship on-spec.
  • Lifecycle assist — draft variants inside claim guardrails; human edit before send.
  • Competitive radar — Nama / Kuvings / Omega promo + creative moves → test backlog monthly.
§ 12 · Proof

Adjacent proof for premium
DTC appliances.

Verified AYMI metrics from high-consideration, education-led motions — not claimed as prior Hurom work under AYMI.

Eight Sleep
+580% direct sales · −42% CPA · 3.9× conversion

Premium hardware DTC. Education had to justify AOV before the cart — same consideration problem as a $459–$749 juicer.

Nutrafol
+320% recurring revenue · +58% retention · 4.2× ROI

Health-led claims discipline, creator authenticity, lifecycle that turns first purchase into habit.

Proven Skincare
+480% subscription revenue · −65% CAC · 3.7× ROAS

Quiz-led match + paid full funnel — direct analogue to model-match and persona landers.

Public cases from other Hurom partners (education-led full funnel; large CPA reductions) are category signal only — not AYMI credentials.

§ 13 · Engagement Shapes

Three ways to build
the engine.

Same destination. Three depths. Investment held for the scoping call.

Shape Team Dashboard Best fit
Foundation 1 Strategist Habit Engine v1 (quiz + 2 landers), content cadence, lifecycle, creator briefs. No always-on paid management.
Full Revenue OS 2 Strategists Growth System + deeper SEO/AEO, scaled creator bench, CP50 commercial lane, heavier production.
Foundation
Core build · 1 strategist
  • Discovery + 90-day plan
  • Habit Engine v1 (quiz + 2 landers)
  • 4 content pillars + first concept batch
  • 5 lifecycle flows in your ESP
  • Creator brief templates
  • Monthly reporting
  • No always-on paid mgmt
Full Revenue OS
Category ownership · 2 strategists
  • Everything in Growth System, plus:
  • Second strategist (SEO + commercial)
  • Expanded Easy Clean content hub
  • Creator bench at scale
  • CP50 foodservice path
  • Hero films + Academy production
  • Quarterly offsite with Brian’s team

On investment: figures held for the scoping call — decide scope together, then price it. Media, software, creator fees, and production are pass-through. Month-to-month after the 90-day sprint. AYMI runs alongside your hire and Brian’s seat — we are not pitching to replace either.

§ 14 · Recommendation

Start on Growth
System.

Foundation if internal bandwidth can’t absorb paid management yet — still ships the Habit Engine, lifecycle, and content spine. Slower compounding.

Growth System ★ is the year-one shape. Product and brand moat are real; the gap is always-on creators + full-funnel paid + measurement that keeps the team off the discount treadmill. One strategist + dashboard + weekly creative is the minimum system that defends premium AOV while Brian stays Head of Marketing & Sales — not day-to-day media buyer or brief writer for every affiliate.

Full Revenue OS when the question shifts from “does this work?” to “how fast do we own the category and CP50?” — usually after Growth System is printing.

§ 16 · Closing

Healthy living,
made easier — on purpose.

You already built the product. We’ll install the habit system around it.

AYMI’s job: creators, content, paid, landers, lifecycle, measurement — so premium AOV stays rational, Easy Clean stays the hook, and Brian’s team spends time on judgment calls, not rebuilding the funnel every quarter.

Next step

A 45-minute scoping call with Brian. We walk the Habit Engine, pressure-test Growth System against live MER/CAC, and leave with a locked 90-day sprint.
