Good Girl Snacks might just be the coolest brand ever. The Gen-Z female-founded pickle company that launched last year has taken social media by storm. The best friend duo have truly transformed ordinary pickles into viral sensations and a hot girl ‘must-have’. Thanks to their pre-launch strategy and social media marketing that thought outside of the box, they were able to generate hype around the brand before the product was even on the shelves — all for a low cost and without the need for paid advertising and marketing.
