Mammoth Brands (formerly Harry’s Inc.) is the modern CPG company behind category-leading brands Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando, and Coterie. We’ve built a new model—and home—for brands, founders, and talent looking to solve unmet needs, improve peoples’ lives, and ultimately challenge the status quo. Our mission is to “Create Things People Like More.” Simply put: everything we do should be better than what already exists. If it’s not, we don’t do it. This guides everything we do, from developing the best product experiences, to making Mammoth Brands a great place to work, to exploring innovative ways to give back to our community. We got our start in 2013 when our co-founders created Harrys. They built the brand differently—online first, prioritizing direct relationships with customers—and in the process learned they’d created something bigger: a playbook and platform that could help other brands grow and scale to their full potential. Today, Mammoth Brands is a growing portfolio of brands built by dedicated, entrepreneurial teams that live and breathe their millions of customers every day. Even as we grow, we take extra care to maintain the small, scrappy, entrepreneurial culture that helped to get us where we are today: to create a company that people like more. That better serves its customers, employees, and community.
