In the start-up world, achieving success is often difficult but immensely rewarding. We recently had the good fortune to work with a founder who was passionate about baking; she created a fantastic range of snacks that were highly popular in her cafe and with their children's friends. The founder had a clear vision of the direction she wanted to take the line and built a website and social channels, but she now needed to bring in marketing resources to help her scale.
The founder's experience is a common one in the world of start-ups. You have an incredible idea but need help figuring out where to start / scale. This is where a CPG marketing consultant can help. They can guide you on how best to navigate the competitive marketplace and get your brand to where you want it to be. Here are some ways CPG marketing consultants can help your business soar.
