Your Trash is our Treasure

How we helped trash #trend with 100M media impressions for Glacier

Can you make recycling sexy? We can. Our goal was to elevate Glacier, a recycling robotics startup into a category leader in a recycling industry plagued by labor shortages and demand shocks due to climate change.

We partnered with founders Rebecca Hu and Areeb Malik to craft a compelling narrative that resonated with customers, attracted top talent, and impressed future investors.

Going beyond positioning, messaging, and strategic guidance, VSC Ventures fully managed the successful launch of Glacier's high-profile partnership and investment from Amazon, positioning Glacier as a trailblazer in sustainable technology and industrial automation.

We love all things Dirty, Dusty, and Dangerous
