=== HEAVY 16 RECON + SPONSORSHIP DRAFT === BRAND: Heavy 16 (heavy16.com) PARENT: Hydrofarm Holdings (acquired 2021, $78.1M) HQ: 2201 East Willow, Ste D, Box 234, Signal Hill, CA 90755 PHONE: 877-YO-HEAVY (964-3289) SOCIAL: @heavy16official (IG & Twitter), FB: heavy16plantnutrients --- CONTACT EMAIL --- info@heavy16.com --- EMAIL SUBJECT --- Partnership Inquiry: Hydroponics Content Sites --- EMAIL BODY --- To the Heavy 16 Team, My name is Indiana Holmes, and I run a pair of hydroponics resource sites — hydros.thetempleofdoom.com and purehydro.thetempleofdoom.com — dedicated to helping growers navigate nutrient selection, system setup, and cultivation best practices. I've long admired Heavy 16's reputation for premium, artisanal formulations and the no-compromise approach your team brings to professional plant nutrition. My sites attract a growing audience of serious home and craft growers who are actively researching nutrient brands, and I believe Heavy 16 would resonate strongly with them. I'm reaching out to explore a potential partnership or sponsorship — whether that's product samples for hands-on review content, sponsored grow diary features, or brand integration across my guides and articles. My readers trust my recommendations because they know I only stand behind products I've personally run, and Heavy 16's streamlined, potent line is exactly the kind of system I'd want to showcase. I'd love to discuss what a collaboration might look like. If there's a better contact on the marketing or brand team for this kind of inquiry, I'd appreciate being pointed their way. Best, Indiana Holmes indianaholmes1@icloud.com === NOTES === - Heavy 16 is now a Hydrofarm brand; Aaron Berkowitz (founder) stayed on post-acquisition. - No dedicated partnership/marketing email found publicly; info@ is the gateway. - Contact page has a form with inquiry type dropdown including "Grower seeking samples" and "Retailer interested in carrying" — the "Other" option fits sponsorship/partnership. - Small team (11-50 employees per ZoomInfo), so info@ likely reaches someone relevant.
