With a reputation as one of the most trusted names in the industry, Product Connections reimagines how brands engage with consumers at every critical touchpoint along the shopping journey. The Acosta Group as a whole employs over 10,000 experts in the marketing field and supports more than 150 corporate employees, emphasizing a collaborative, inclusive, and growth-oriented company culture. This environment fosters innovation and encourages employees to elevate their skills and careers. The agency focuses on delivering comprehensive brand solutions through digital and traditional retail events, demonstrations, experiential marketing, sponsorship activations, and omnichannel shopper marketing. Their mission is to ensure products connect effectively with the right audience at optimal times, guiding consumers down the purchase funnel and driving brand loyalty.
This position is crafted for individuals passionate about food and beverage marketing, specifically those experienced or interested in the preparation of specialty products like juices and other food items for purchase. The role is pivotal in supporting retail events through precise product preparation, compelling demonstrations, and assisting in driving customer engagement.
