Bringing MOMENTUM to leading health food and natural industry brands.
We meet our clients where they are in their product cycle and add momentum to their growth.
LAUNCH - GROW - MAXIMIZE – INNOVATE
- Launching new health food and natural brands for success
- Growing sales and distribution for new and growing brands
- Maximizing presence, influence and market share of mature brands
- Innovating to re-ignite declining brands into a new life cycle
As a boutique broker we differ from large broker companies in some significant ways. Managing a small number of selected brands, we stay in close communication and feedback loop with our clients. The companies we work with often feel that we are a direct extension of their sales and marketing teams.
With 100% focus on each brand, MBA level planning, the effective use of 80/20 rule and applying the six core momentum strategies, we have a strong record of achieving 50-345% growth for our brands over 1-3 years.
