Finally, marketing that actually works for CPG brands.

We build them that way.

Marketing built for a product that has to sell in more than one place.

  • Brand and packaging

    Identity systems, packaging and production artwork that can hold together on the shelf and online.

  • Ecommerce and wholesale

    Custom websites, Shopify integration and separate paths for direct customers, wholesale inquiries and retail discovery when the brand needs them.

  • Search and paid media

    SEO, AI search visibility, Google Ads and Meta campaigns built around the product, category and customer instead of a generic traffic target.

  • Email and content

    Email, product education and creator content built around claims the brand can actually support.

We start with how the product is sold.

  1. 1

    Map the routes to the customer.

    Direct purchase, retail, wholesale and distribution do not need the same page or the same message.

  2. 2

    Look at the whole brand.

    We review the package, site, search presence, paid media and follow-up together because customers do not experience them as separate departments.

  3. 3

    Prescribe the work.

    We put the priorities in order and tell you what we would not spend on yet.

Product claims need an approval process.

The FTC says endorsements must be truthful and material relationships between an endorser and a marketer should be disclosed.

For an unqualified Made in USA claim, the FTC says marketers should be able to show the product is all or virtually all made in the United States.

FDA rules also distinguish health claims, nutrient content claims and structure/function claims on conventional foods and dietary supplements.

We build the marketing around the approved product claims.

A CPG brand can have more than one ideal customer.

For direct sales, we define the consumer most likely to choose the product and what matters in that purchase.

For wholesale, we define the buyer, distributor or retailer the brand is trying to reach and what they need to evaluate the product.

  • Who is buying the product today?
  • Where do you want the next sale to happen?
  • Which claims and product facts are already approved?

The FTC's standard says marketers making an unqualified claim should be able to substantiate that the product is all or virtually all made in the United States.
