Sales consulting · Retail and foodservice
We get your product placed and sold.
For food, beverage and consumer product brands. Placement, merchandising, trade shows and in-store media, run by operators who have launched brands for 15+ years, starting with our own.
We partner with the biggest distributors in the US.
- SYSCO
- KEHE
- UNFI
Our own brand, 78 Brand, sits in 2,500+ retail doors, Walmart included.
Independent stores
Independents are where brands get built.
Big chains want proof. Independent grocers, co-ops and specialty stores are where you earn it. We know the owners, the buyers and the shelf, store by store.
Store by store.
Visits, resets and shelf checks on a set route, with notes you can read.
Tastings that sell.
Demos run by people who know the product and the shopper.
From indie to national.
Sell-through from independents becomes the story your distributor and chain buyers want.
Services
One team for the whole shelf.

How we work
A plan and a price before any spend.
- 01
Fit call and category read.
What you make, where it sells today, and what the buyer will want to see. We tell you plainly if we are not the right fit.
- 02
The plan, priced.
Which doors, which shows, which programs, and what each costs. Nothing starts until you have the number in writing.
- 03
The work after the yes.
Displays built, shelves checked, tastings run, buyers followed up. Your broker keeps the relationship. We keep the product moving.
- 04
One weekly number.
Units, velocity, store notes, and what we change on Monday. One team answers for it.
