Where we can help

A good product
is the beginning.

When product information, your store, your retail partners and your customer data live in different places, it’s harder to win shelf space and bring people back.

DISCOVERY

Make your products easier to choose.

Bring your product story, ingredients and nutrition information together across your website, retailer listings and AI search.

COMMERCE

Connect the first order to the next one.

Build direct ordering, subscriptions and wholesale reorders that support repeat purchase where they fit.

DISTRIBUTION

Find the right route to more shelves.

Pursue retail, foodservice and distributor partnerships with a team that can negotiate and structure the work.

Start with the opportunity
in front of you.

A store that needs to work harder. A new line ready to launch. A distributor who could open a new region. We agree on the work your business needs first.

What we do

Three divisions.
One Apex Global.

Each division has a distinct job. Work with the one you need, or bring them together when the opportunity calls for it.

CONNECT

Agency

We represent your business in retail, foodservice and distribution conversations, finding opportunities and structuring the deals that fit your next stage.

  • Retail and grocery opportunities
  • Foodservice and distributor partnerships
  • Negotiation and written deal terms

Representation fees apply to the deals we source, under written terms.

BUILD

Accelerator Studio

We connect your brand story, product information and online store, then keep improving how customers discover, buy and reorder.

  • Product content and digital commerce
  • Subscriptions, wholesale and repeat orders
  • Testing, automation and visibility in AI answers

Scoped work, a written plan, and systems your business owns.

LAUNCH

Ventures

We help bring a new product line, brand or market launch to life, with a team that builds and relationships that support the launch.

  • New products and brand launches
  • New channels and regions
  • Licensing and financing introductions

Services work never takes equity. Any equity, licensing or revenue-share in a new venture is agreed separately in writing.

The Accelerator Studio builds the work. The Agency develops the relationships and deals. Ventures brings both together for something new.
