The Ellsworths founded poppi, a prebiotic soda brand, and scaled the company over five years before its sale to PepsiCo in March 2025 for $1.95 billion. Following the acquisition, the pair plan to focus on advising consumer brands, angel investing, and participating in speaking engagements.
SolComms will oversee executive communications for the Ellsworths, including storytelling, personal brand development, media relations, and thought leadership at major conferences.
“I first crossed paths with Allison and Stephen in 2022, serving as the lead PR strategist on their Series A announcement, and have long-admired how intentional, brand-savvy and community-centric they were in building poppi. I’m proud to partner with the Ellsworths as they enter the next phase of their careers, building upon their legacy and telling their story,” said Bruno Solari, Founder and CEO of SolComms.
“The American Dream is alive and well, and we are living proof of that. We are so fortunate to have experienced tremendous and rapid growth with poppi, and we now have our eyes set on helping other entrepreneurs achieve their dreams and goals. SolComms shares our grit and hustle when it comes to public relations and brand marketing, and we’re looking forward to partnering with them as we begin writing our next chapter,” said Allison and Stephen Ellsworth.
