Despite their $700M valuation and rockstar success in the US, Liquid Death quietly retreated from British shores after less than two years.
In this video, we investigate the real reasons behind Liquid Death's UK failure - from pricing missteps during a cost-of-living crisis to cultural disconnects that doomed their rebellious marketing. What looked like "production issues" reveals deeper lessons about international expansion that every brand should know.
We talk to marketing expert Phill Agnew to discuss why what works in America doesn't always translate across the pond and the critical mistakes brands make when entering new markets.
