Alliance Sales & Marketing Announces Winner of Jumpstart Jam:

Celebrating 20 Years with Pitch Slam Event

Charlotte, North Carolina (July 29th, 2024) — This past week, Alliance Sales & Marketing, a leading force in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, celebrated a significant milestone by hosting its first-ever pitch slam event, “Jumpstart Jam,” in honor of the company’s 20th anniversary. The event brought together a diverse group of emerging CPG brands, culminating in a competitive and dynamic showcase of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.

The “Jumpstart Jam” event featured a lineup of talented contestants who pitched their groundbreaking products to a panel of esteemed judges. In a thrilling finale, three exceptional contestants’ executive leadership teams traveled to Alliance’s headquarters in Charlotte, NC, to present their pitches – and products – in person.

Alliance Sales & Marketing is thrilled to announce the winner of the very-first “Jumpstart Jam”: Glow Beauty Fuel, who will enjoy a year of brokerage services from Alliance, in addition to exclusive access to data-driven insights and resources to further propel their brand forward offered from partnering SPINS®, a distinguished leader in delivering data-driven insights essential for the natural and specialty products industry.

Glow Beauty Fuel impressed the judges with their unique beauty protein bars, which are designed to provide 100% of daily beauty supplements. This innovative product stood out to judges for its exceptional quality and market potential.

“Glow Beauty Fuel’s dedication to combining nutrition and beauty in a convenient and delicious form truly embodies the spirit of innovation that ‘Jumpstart Jam’ aims to celebrate,” said Scott Anderson, CEO of Alliance Sales & Marketing. “We are excited to support Glow Beauty Fuel as they continue to grow and make a positive impact in the CPG industry.”
