The Maven Model

We live and breathe CPG.

We specialize in enhancing the reputation, awareness, and fanfare of food, beverage, and wellness CPG brands through measurable results that move the needle.

What we do best

Earned Media

Organic publicity and exposure generated through positive word-of-mouth, media coverage, and social media mentions, without direct payment or control over the content.

Commerce Media

Performance-based marketing strategy where publishers promote a brand's products or services through tracked links, earning commissions for driving sales or other desired actions.

Sponsored Media

Paid advertising initiatives where the brand collaborates with media outlets or influencers to promote their products or messages in a controlled and targeted manner.

Our media relationships are the cornerstone of everything we do. Through earned, commerce and sponsored media, we amplify brand stories, thoughtfully position products, and tell stories where and when the right people are listening.

What we collab on

Social Media/Content

Developing and implementing plans to effectively use social media platforms to achieve business goals, engage with the target audience, and monitor and optimize performance.

Influencer Marketing

Encompasses both organic seeding/sampling initiatives and paid collaborations, where brands partner with influential individuals to promote their products or services, leveraging their reach and credibility to engage with target audiences.

Experiential Activations

Both in-person events and curated mailer kits that offer immersive and interactive brand experiences that engage audiences through sensory elements, hands-on participation, and memorable interactions.

We don’t do everything (we do a few things really well), but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have access to the best in the industry. We refer out to our Maven Connect network for the following, complementary services.

“Jess and Maven are an absolute pleasure to work with! Jess and her team work tirelessly to get results for their clients and work like a part of your team - not an agency. Jess is also an expert in the food and beverage space and knows how to work with both brands and journalists.

As a former journalist turned brand owner, I appreciated her ability to pitch a compelling story angle, write a real press release and craft a clear message that resonates with reporters. I cannot recommend Jess and her team highly enough!”
