I work with protein, specialty food, and CPG brands — from launch-stage companies figuring out their positioning to established brands stuck at a plateau. If you're trying to grow at retail and can't quite figure out why things aren't clicking, this is the right place.

Strategy That Grows Your Food or Protein Brand

Brand Audit & Assessment

Before investing in strategy or creative, it helps to know exactly where you stand. I conduct a structured review of your positioning, messaging, packaging, website, and retail presence — identifying what's working, what's creating confusion, and where the biggest opportunities for growth exist. Starting at $1,200.

What you get

  • Written brand assessment

  • 2 - 60-minute calls

  • Email support during the engagement

DIAGNOSE

DEFINE YOUR BRAND

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Strong brands know who they're for, why they matter, and how they're different. This engagement defines your market position, identifies your ideal customer, clarifies your competitive advantage, and establishes the foundation that guides your marketing and product decisions. Research is built in — surveys, interviews, category analysis, or existing data, all applied directly to your strategy.

What you get

  • Positioning statement

  • Ideal customer profile

  • Competitive landscape summary

  • Messaging framework your team can actually use

DEFINE YOUR BRAND

Brand Messaging & Storytelling

Once your strategy is set, this work translates it into words — across retailer presentations, sales materials, website, packaging, email, and social. The goal isn't to sound clever. It's to communicate clearly, consistently, and in a way that resonates with the people you're trying to reach.

What you get

  • Core messaging document

  • Brand voice guidance

  • Copy frameworks for key channels

SHOW UP IN THE MARKET

Packaging Strategy & Development

For food and CPG brands, packaging is often where customers make their decision — and where most brands leave opportunity on the table. I help you develop packaging that communicates value quickly, stands out on shelf, and supports conversations with retail buyers.

What you get

  • Packaging brief

  • Messaging hierarchy and claims recommendations

  • Designer-ready copy

Retail Marketing & Activation

Shelf placement means nothing if shoppers don't notice you — or don't come back. I help brands build retail marketing programs that drive trial, support retailer relationships, and create reasons for repeat purchase. This may include promotional concepts, merchandising strategy, point-of-sale materials, sampling programs, and retailer support tools.

What you get

  • Retail marketing plan

  • Activation concepts

  • Supporting materials based on scope

SHOW UP IN THE MARKET

Not Sure Where To Start?

The Brand Audit is designed for exactly that. It gives you an outside perspective and a clear set of priorities — without a long commitment. Starting at $1,500.

Most engagements begin with a conversation. I'll ask about your business, where you're stuck, and what you've already tried. If I think I can help, I'll propose a scope. If someone else is a better fit, I'll say so.
