D'Amelio Brands, a new venture and cross-platform company created by entrepreneurs Marc and Heidi, and social media phenoms Dixie and Charli, announced a $5M strategic investment from the consumer-focused media and tech firm, Fifth Growth Fund (FGF). This round of capital will fuel the company's expansion into the Food & Beverage sector, with the imminent launch of D'Amelio Foods.

D'Amelio Foods will offer an array of high-quality, flavorful, and accessible snacks, with the first product hitting shelves nationwide this fall. With the goal of creating unique flavors and a desire to transform everyday snacking into a joyful experience, the D'Amelio family will be intimately involved in product development and formulation, as well as marketing, brand building, and fulfillment.

As part of this strategic partnership, FGF partner Royce Wilson will join the board of directors at D'Amelio Brands. Simultaneously, D'Amelio Brands will work closely with Trusted Influence, a forward-thinking company that bridges the gap between retail and the creator economy. Trusted Influence has partnered with D'Amelio Brands and FGF in this endeavor, playing an integral role in developing the brand, sourcing, and brokering strategic retail deals for nationwide distribution.
