What sets MPG apart is their extraordinary focus on client intimacy around both the manufacturer and the retailer. They take the time to understand my organization’s unique needs, as well as the unique needs of our key retail customers for each engagement. They do a particularly good job of marrying strategy as well as framing and shaping the presentation. So we’ve not only developed a robust solution, but also have the ability to present it and successfully execute both internally and externally. Over the past six years, they have truly become a trusted resource for Ricola.

I find MPG to provide outstanding consulting / advice developing future capabilities for our organization. They are truly seasoned experts in the field of consumer products. They are very insightful with their due diligence, understand manufacturers’ challenges, and provide tailored recommendations – not just cookie cutter strategic thoughts or tactics – and work with us side by side until the results are delivered. Simply put, they are a true partner! Additionally, their staff is very professional and so invested in our success that often it is difficult to assess if their employees work for our Company or MPG!

Recently, we had the chance to work with MPG on go-to-market strategies. MPG helped us craft a story that truly identified the “win / win” opportunity for our retail partners and GSK. The team not only helped us develop the new strategy and policies, but also to construct the external message and prepare my team for the strategic conversation that was needed. MPG has an extensive knowledge bank and network of Strategic Advisors, and they leveraged these throughout the project to help us better understand today’s customer expectations around what it means to be a “world class” strategic partner for our customers.

I’ve worked with MPG on a number of initiatives, from redesigning trade investment strategy to developing a new direct-to-consumer strategy. The MPG team at all levels—associates through senior leadership—brings a level of knowledge, real-world experience, attention to customer needs, and unique blend of manufacturer and retailer experience that really sets them apart. They also have an extended network of subject matter experts and Retail Advisors that they seamlessly integrate into engagements to give clients a greater competitive advantage, such as the ability to pressure test strategies prior to implementation in order to make sure that we are maximizing impact and retailers’ acceptance.

MPG has been a strategic partner to AmerisourceBergen for more than 10 years. In addition to providing category management, planogramming, and pricing services for our more than 30 categories, MPG has helped us to strengthen, deepen, and grow our relationships with our independent retail customers by helping us transform our front end program so they can be more competitive and financially successful in today’s complex healthcare environment. The MPG team brings me thoughtful and strategic insights and solutions that have helped me grow my business profitably. They are truly a valuable and integral of my team.
Timothy Busky
Current Chief Commercial Officer for Intuity Medical, former VP Consumer Products, AmerisourceBergen
The MPG team possesses expertise that is both deep and wide when it comes to retail and CPG. The level of experience and knowledge they possess… and their deep relationships across the retail and manufacturer communities… put them head and shoulders above what you find in the majority of consultancies and brokers. At the end of the day, it’s about the people. MPG not only consistently delivers bottom line results, but they are a trusted, respected resource: the kind of people with whom you want to do business.
Jason Reiser

I have partnered with MPG for many years (in multiple roles and companies). They have been a valued partner with the know-how and process orientation to drive real solutions for key business opportunities. They have a well-experienced staff that has a collaborative work style to bring inputs from key stakeholders. They are top-notch partners!

Our partnership with MPG has been integral to the rapid growth of our business at Walmart over the past three years. The resources and insights they provide allow a smaller company like ours to “punch above our weight” with our largest, most important customer. Sundial and MPG act as one team.
Will Malatesta
Senior Director of Sales, Sundial Brands
MPG manages HARIBO replenishment and third party retail coverage relationship, and also supports our sales force with category management and analytics. When we first started with MPG, they did a Walmart line review and prepped us for the meeting— after the line review we increased in traited store count. Our current in stock is over 99%. We’ve achieved growth in the last year and we could not have done it without MPG. They are a trusted partner, offering expertise, experience, established relationships, and the type of collaborative approach that enables us to build in-house capabilities.
