On Shelf Marketing (OSMG) is a partnership of five superior regional brokerage companies that have come together to provide a seamless national coverage option including Kroger and Walmart. Our strength and growth are driven by over 1,250 team members in 7 regional hubs and 37 local offices. Being privately held and debt-free allows us to invest in people and resources to ensure their long-term growth and prosperity. My job is to be a seeker and a shepherd. As the seeker, I look for brands that could benefit from our management expertise. Whether you are a start-up or have existing distribution in the marketplace (but maybe find yourself stuck with an underperforming sales agency) or a top brand that is in every household in the US and needs supplemental help in analysis, supply chain, or retail work, we can help you. As the shepherd, I make sure your onboarding and integration into OSMG run smoothly and exceed your expectations.
