FMCG consultant | Senior Marketer | Retail & Shopper strategy

#Clientsdoingcoolthings: I first met Fiona Tomlinson and Rogie Tomlinson-Gillies when they launched Sidekick Soda at the Auckland Food Show. They were the first to sign up for Retail Rookie, came along and took notes (!!) and were fully engaged in learning all they could about the industry and building a strong community. Over the last six months I've been working 1:1 with them through Pitchfork NZ to build capability around strategy, planning and understanding all things retail and FMCG through Regional Business Partner funding. The programs are simple, focused and all about improving their capability to take on the industry with clear structure, knowledge and focus. Couldn't be prouder of the results they're seeing, the step-change in confidence and knowing that they are better equipped to tackle all that retail has to throw at them. They're going into the biggest category (beverages) in the biggest market (USA) and we've developed a clear focused customer & shopper proposition that gives them clear space from the 'big boys' in the category. Having a learning mindset is what sets these two apart - they are always up for listening, asking questions and refining as they go. Can't wait to see what they do next and know it will be done with whole-hearted passion and commitment!! 👉 If you're curious to find out more about my RBP packages, then drop me a note. 💪There are a range to suit different business needs and ALL about helping YOU learn more, do better and have a sustainable business for the long term.

We were a little overwhelmed to be a finalist in this category at the Wanaka Business Awards especially given Sidekick is the new kid on the block. Weve been playing it down but I think we deserve a happy dance for this one!
