HOPE FOODS the parent company of the brands: Hope Hummus, Hope Spreads, Hope Dips, and Hope Crackers, announced today that they will be nationally represented by Presence Marketing/Dynamic Presence, the leading sales and marketing brokerage firm in the natural and conventional food industries.
Presence Marketing/Dynamic Presence ("Presence") is an established leader in the natural foods industry, while HOPE FOODS is well-known for its creative branding and flavors that address the gluten-free and vegan marketplace. These two leading companies are a logical pairing to take HOPE FOODS to the national level. Presence's team of experienced veterans coupled with their high energy, strong standards, and vision, aim to help HOPE FOODS build and maintain a strong national market position through a myriad of retail and wholesale relationships.
"So far, Presence has gone above and beyond our expectations," notes Alek Ramoska, HOPE FOODS' VP of Sales. "Our partnership with this like-minded company is really going to enable HOPE FOODS to rapidly extend its HOPE FOODS branded products to consumers all across the nation."
Bill Weiland, president and CEO of Presence Marketing/Dynamic Presence comments on the partnership, "We were really excited to have the opportunity to work with HOPE FOODS. Their products are fantastic and really on point to today's natural food consumers."
"HOPE FOODS is honored to be nationally represented by Presence, a company that has a reputation as one of the most elite and experienced in the industry. We expect this partnership to contribute greatly to the company goals of successfully transitioning into a nationwide brand," says Robbie Rech, president of HOPE FOODS.
Nationwide product launch
The partnership includes a nationwide launch of all of HOPE FOODS' product lines: Hope Hummus, Hope Dips, Hope Spreads, and Hope Crackers. "Making our product lines available nationwide and partnering with a sales firm was a logical next step. Our vision and goal has always been to be a national natural foods company. It was time to make the leap and with our new line of organic lentil dips this is the perfect time to introduce our brand in the North East," says Rech.
As HOPE FOODS releases their product lines nationwide, the company leaders wanted the assurance in the marketplace that comes with local experience. Teaming with Presence offers a wealth of relationships that enables HOPE FOODS to aggressively grow into new regions, particularly the Eastern US. According to Ramoska, "Our experience with Presence has shown that they are friendly, eager, and without question know what they are doing. We came on wanting them to hit the ground running, and we are sprinting with them now. They've done a great job and I couldn't be happier with how the transition has gone."
