Why Moonpig didn’t scale for 4 years. For the first four years, Nick Jenkins says even an extra £10 million wouldn’t have helped Moonpig grow. The problem wasn’t money. It was finding a growth engine that could scale. That changed when Moonpig took a calculated risk on TV advertising. One successful test unlocked a strategy that helped grow revenue from £3 million to £45 million. Sometimes the biggest constraint isn’t capital. It’s finding something that can truly scale.
