Our Story
In 2010, before the term influencer marketing was en vogue, GUMBO was pioneering chef partnership programs that helped raise awareness of - and build preference for - our client’s brands. Today we manage these programs for a broad portfolio of regional and national clients, most of which have been with us for many years. Over the past decade, we've expanded our services to include:
The development of strategic brand partnerships for promotional and educational purposes.
The development of content for a wide range of media channels and outlets.
The management of local, regional and National media relations.
The curation of chef-driven and bartender-driven brand experiences.
While leveraging the passion and creativity of chefs is hardly a novel idea these days, the process we've developed over the years - and the win-win partnerships we continue to create - are entirely unique. What's more important, we achieve our strategic programs with a fraction of the budget spent on traditional marketing campaigns.
