We're so excited to announce the addition of Ashley Clark to our Commercial team as Director, Target! Welcome to Unreal, Ashley! 🍫 🎉 ✨

Our team just returned from an inspiring company offsite in beautiful Newport, Rhode Island! As a primarily remote, distributed team, these moments of in-person connection are invaluable to us. We dove into strategic planning and our Mission, Vision, and Values, enjoyed team bonding activities including firepits & s’mores, sunrise yoga, and even some late night karaoke (❗🎤😂), and shared memorable meals and waterfront cocktail hours together that strengthened our relationships and radiated all the ✨ good vibes ✨. A highlight was touring the stunning vineyards at Greenvale Vineyards, where we toasted to our hard work and connection to each other 🍷. We also gave back to the local community through volunteering at the Norman Bird Sanctuary 🐦. We couldn’t be prouder of our talented team and the incredible culture we’ve built together, and we’re so excited for what’s to come for this group. Exciting news: several new opportunities to join our team are coming down the pipeline! If you’re passionate about joining a mission-driven, rapidly scaling brand that’s committed to proving that the foods we love can be better for us, we’d love to hear from you.
