Steve is the go-to guy for branding and marketing in the CPG space. Incredibly approachable, Steve has years of experience and knows the ins and outs of the business.

The program is a must for all startups CPG companies.

Steve has guided me through the beginning of my natural food business and through the up’s and downs. His deep knowledge of retailers, marketing, trade spend requirements, and what to do when the rug gets pulled out from under you have been pivotal in my business.
