Thorne’s Chief Growth Officer Mary Beech reports that AI engines now drive roughly 5% of new customer discovery, up from zero a year ago. To capitalize on this shift, she has reorganized the marketing function into a "growth laboratory" that owns both brand and performance initiatives and reports directly to revenue. The strategy leans heavily on medically reviewed, structured content to ensure accurate information surfaces in AI‑powered answer engines. Beech emphasizes education over transaction, positioning Thorne as a trusted source in a confusing wellness market.
