CPG plays by
different rules.

We've spent a decade inside CPG brands. The pains here are different, and generalists miss them until it's too late.

Slotting fees, chargebacks, and retailer compliance eat margin before marketing starts.

Cash and inventory get committed months ahead. One bad forecast hits every channel.

DTC, Amazon, and retail pull in different directions. Most agencies only know one.

Brand and performance constantly fight for the same budget.

These aren't marketing problems. They're CPG problems. They need someone who's solved them before.

Meet Brent. Three CPG brands. From zero to exit.

Brent is our fractional CMO for CPG. Before adMind, he scaled three CPG brands from a standing start. He built the team, owned the P&L, and walked them all the way to a successful exit.

He's sat in your chair. He knows what it feels like when a buyer pushes the PO out a quarter, when Amazon flips an algorithm, when paid social gets expensive overnight. He knows because he's solved it three times.

The brands he's scaled:
· Sunwarrior: $0 to $30M in under 4 years
· Lakanto: 1,100% growth sustained over 8 years
· Ujido: $0 to $3.5M in under 1 year

You get that brain on your business, without paying a $400K+ salary, equity, and signing bonus to get it.

Built for how CPG
actually operates.

Most CPG agencies are still tactical executors. We pair a CPG operator with an AI-augmented team that ships in a fraction of the time. The result: more strategy, faster work, lower cost.

Faster. AI accelerates the tactical work. Days, not weeks.

Sharper. Senior strategy on every call. No junior account manager learning on your budget.

Cheaper. A fraction of a full-time CMO. Less than most agency retainers.

One team. Every lever CPG needs to pull.

Brent owns the strategy. Our senior practitioners run the channels. You stop juggling four vendors who don't talk to each other.
