WE’VE BEEN THERE, GOT THE T-SHIRT (and scars) to prove it
Jumping into an FMCG brand can feel a bit like going shopping for Christmas dinner without a list, blindfolded. There’s a lot to learn and unless you’ve got a great mentor, it’s all on you.
Retail Rookie is designed to help remove the blindfold from the world of grocery and give you a wide range of tools, tips and tricks to give you the best start for your brand amongst the big players. Whether that’s in supermarkets, larger retail chains, or refining your brand to be ready for the next stage of growth, we’re using all our valuable insights from many years in the biz to help get you there.
Our goal is to create confidence in emerging retail brands through education, expert advice and mentorship. And of course, have a great time doing it.
