Hello, amigos. About four years ago, I got a message from a designer in Colombia who said she'd like to work with startup CPG to build her reputation of the U.S.

I couldn't believe how affordable her pricing was and the quality looked top-notch.

I started work with them for startup CPG and then a bunch of my other CPG projects as well.

Fast forward to today, they are the most beloved agency in our

startup CBG community. They've got dozens of happy customers like prickly and so many more.

I recommend them to absolutely anybody who will listen because the combo of top-notch quality

and very reasonable pricing is exactly what you want as a startup brand. You can hire them for

branding, packaging, your website,

or they actually have an awesome startup package that will do all three.

If you want to learn more, email them at StartupCG at Wagondesign Studio.com or check the show notes.

You could also post in our Slack for feedback and just be overwhelmed by how many people

want to sing their praises.

Grazias, Wegan.

We're able to sit on different committees for different divisions, work with the buyers, work with divisions. I get to show them what I'm doing in Fairway.

I get to show them what are the new trendy items that I could bring in there, show that we could potentially be on the shop-break shelf in a couple of years.

What are the new trends?

You know, I'm searching for new trends.

You know, I'm walking shows.

I'm trying to bring that, you know, to the buyer's desk too.

You know, there's a handful of stuff that I could point out to, show them what's doing well, you know, share the information.

So it kind of helps us grow.

New York, New York. This is a big one, folks. We've got Glenn Cunningham on the podcast today. He is the center store director for village supermarkets. That's part of the Wakefern co-op and they own some of the most epic New York area banners. Fairway Market, Gour garage, and a bunch of the shop rights.
