Gotham Brand Managers Announces Expansion
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Gotham announced today it has expanded its merchandising services to include both north and south of NYC focusing on areas in and around Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and DC.
“The goal of the expansion has been to provide coverage in territories with dense population and retail allowing our team to provide high touch with the brands we represent” said Trent Moffat, owner of Gotham Brands.
Gotham Brand Managers began in 2011 building brands in Metro NY. Gotham started by selling to independent accounts with a small sales team, focusing on early brands such as Runa, Eternal Water, :Love Beets and Arteasan. As the brands grew, so did Gotham, developing into a full service sales team that offers companies merchandising, DSD delivery, in-store sampling, and a range of summer event trucks with full staff to promote and build new and expanding brands.
“Leading with our merchandising teams into new markets has been a reverse model of how we started, but with great brands like LaCroix and Brads Raw Foods helping us lead the way along with new brands like Hippeas and Greyston we can support and focus on a limited number of products and be very effective at retail.” said Trent.
Asked if there were any further plans for expansion, Trent said with 25% of the US population now being covered the plan is to dive deeper with sales and infrastructure similar to what has been developed in the tri-state area.
