“I look forward to working with Bill and his management team to increase consumer awareness of Nature’s Flavors unique personality and expertise as a supplier of fully organic, healthy, and all natural products,” said Robbins. “The success in becoming a popular content brand is providing trusted insight and information to customers, but with a point of view and storytelling that can be fun, sharp, engaging, relevant, viral and which represents a brand’s values and voice. I am confident that we can accomplish that goal.”
Nature’s Flavors is in an excellent position to stay ahead in a competitive marketplace, as consumers become more aware of the health consequences that come with sugar-heavy sodas and baked goods. Products associated with words like ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ are getting more attention, and that must come through in a brand’s marketing. “We are more than just a company that puts flavors in a bottle,” said Sabo. “Our content will show families ways they can lead healthier lifestyles by using our sugar-free, organic and natural ingredients in their daily lives, and that actually taste delicious.”
The Flavor Guy, who created Newport Flavors 35 years ago in his garage, which later expanded to Nature’s Flavors as a successful ECommerce sitehas become an incredibly successful entrepreneur. His vast knowledge of flavors has garnered him acclaim throughout the food and beverage industry, and earned him the nickname, The Flavor Guy.
The Sabo family are not only committed to providing natural, great tasting alternatives for the consumer, but for use in their personal lives as well. The Flavor Guy created his great tasting sugar-free sodas after a life changing heart attack that was caused from the over-consumption of processed sugars. At the same time, Bill’s wife Linda was diagnosed with gluten intolerance, which inspired the creation of healthy gluten-free baking mixes. Together they truly understand the struggles of having to change their diets, but they have seen the benefits it has brought their lives. “We are excited to have someone like Lance on board to help us communicate this journey we took to our consumers, and to inspire other families to join in on making healthier lifestyle choices”, said The Flavor Guy.
