CPG Marketing
Services.

Ten disciplines for food, beverage, and consumer brands — social media, paid media, creative, influencer, and retail activation — run by specialist teams, planned as one program, and measured against the numbers that decide shelf and share.

The Services, In Full.

10 Disciplines
01

Brand Strategy

Inquire

Positioning and messaging that give your brand a clear argument in its category: the claim to lead with, the shopper to win, and the reason a retail buyer should bet a facing on you. Strategy here is not a deck that sits in a drawer — it's the operating brief every other discipline runs against.

Principle 01Position first. Everything else is execution.
02

Social Media Management

Full capability →

Always-on social for CPG brands on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: monthly content calendars, content creatives, scheduling and publishing, community management, and plain monthly reporting — planned against your retail calendar, so the week you land a new endcap is the week your feed is loudest about it.

Principle 02The feed is the first shelf.
03

Paid Media

Full capability →

Meta and TikTok for demand generation, Google for intent capture, and retail media where your shopper is already holding a cart. Creative is tested weekly against real purchases — not add-to-carts — and budget follows the evidence.

04

Creative & Content

See the work →

Product content, recipe and lifestyle video, stop-motion, and motion design — built for how food and beverage actually gets bought, and shot to feed paid media from day one. The portfolio speaks for itself; it's the reason most clients call.

Principle 04Built to sell. Shot to test.
05

Influencer Marketing

Inquire

Creator programs built for consumable brands — seeding, paid partnerships, affiliate, and local creators who visit and post from the stores that carry you. Sourcing, briefs, usage rights, and whitelisting handled end to end, reported on what a creator moved, not what they posted.

06

Integrated Marketing

Inquire

Digital, social, retail, and media unified under one plan and one scoreboard — so creative learnings feed the media plan, and velocity data tells you where to scale next. One program, specialist teams, no gaps between vendors.

Principle 06One plan. One scoreboard.
07

Product Launch

Inquire

Go-to-market plans that win attention fast and prove sell-through inside the retailer's review window. A launch isn't done at the purchase order — it's done when the reorder comes, and the plan is built backward from that.

Principle 07A launch ends at the reorder.
08

Brand Activation

Full capability →

Digital-first activation that makes people notice your product is on shelf — social-led launch moments, influencer integrations, and geo-targeted campaigns fenced around your retail doors. Tracked in units per store per week, before, during, and after, so you walk into the buyer review with a number, not a photo recap.

Principle 08Distribution is not demand.
09

Amazon & E-Commerce

Inquire

Growing your sales on Amazon, Walmart.com, and your own store. Listings and content built for how people search the category, retail media — Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, and Instacart Ads — run on return, and the repeat-purchase engine that makes a consumable brand work online: Subscribe & Save, reviews, and reorders.

Retail Marketing

Inquire

Helping your product sell in stores — whether you're new on shelf with a trial window to survive, or established and defending your space. Geo-targeted ads fenced around your store list, social campaigns timed to your retail calendar, and local creators who visit and post from the stores that carry you — all measured in how fast product moves off the shelf.

How the work is measured

Reach is an input. These are the outputs.

Social Media

Follower growth, engagement, and community — and what that audience actually does: site visits, sign-ups, and sales tied back to content.

Influencer

What a creator moved, not what they posted — trial, code redemptions, affiliate revenue, and which content earns a place in paid.

Paid Media

Cost per new customer and return on spend across Meta, TikTok, and Google — measured on real purchases, not clicks.

Retail

Helping your product sell in stores — whether you're new on shelf with a trial window to survive, or established and defending your space. Geo-targeted ads fenced around your store list, social campaigns timed to your retail calendar, and influencers who visit and post from local stores — all measured in how fast product moves off the shelf.

Retail Media, Amazon & E‑Commerce

Sales growth on Amazon, Walmart.com, and your own store — new customers, repeat purchase, and Subscribe & Save — driven by Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, and Instacart Ads, measured on return.

How engagements start
Step 01

The problem

A new SKU, a new chain, a soft channel, a shelf position under pressure. It starts with one conversation.

Step 02

The plan

We come back with the constraint we'd attack first, the work we'd run, and what it costs — specific enough to disagree with.

Step 03

The scoreboard

Work ships fast, reporting is plain, and every month answers one question: did the numbers that matter move?

you're up against.

Launching, entering a new chain, scaling DTC and Amazon at once, or defending hard-won shelf — that's the work we do.
