CHEESE MARKET NEWS: “The Food Connector boosts visibility through digital marketing strategies.”
“I’ve worked with the folks at The Food Connector on a few projects now, including the preliminary launch of our web site and several pieces of promotional and marketing literature. Discussing concepts, exchanging ideas, and navigating toward copy that delivers our message to our customer base has been a deeply rewarding experience for me. The lively discussions, the thoughtful advice, and the creative approaches, always with an eye toward making our products and services glow, has made the experience sincerely gratifying. I am looking forward to our continued collaboration with Ed, Kristen, and the rest of this creative team.”

“From the very beginning, The Food Connector acted like an extension of our team and took steps to understand the nuances of our business and different operating environments. Whether building and managing our online presence, creating specific sales collateral geared toward the Ingredient space or exploring branding and design elements, their approach always starts with overarching goals, strategy and a firm understanding of end-user, and then progresses to design and executional elements. Operating in the B2B space our marketing budgets were limited, but The Food Connector provided an outsized level of service that made a meaningful impact. From a personal standpoint, it’s clear that The Food Connector has taken steps to recruit and retain very passionate, knowledgeable and committed professionals that remain friendly and approachable – something truly rare in the industry.”
