JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Acosta Sales & Marketing, a leading full-service sales and marketing agency in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, has acquired four more foodservice agencies: AFM in Florida, AFM Pegasus in Georgia, AFM Harvest in the Carolinas and ACM, representing the domestic and overseas military channels.
Acosta will integrate these organizations with its rapidly growing foodservice division and will extend the coverage of the company's sales and marketing services in the Southeast.
The agency entered the foodservice channel in March 2012 and since that time has steadily built a strong presence across the country. Complemented by these four agencies, Acosta's foodservice division now spans the majority of the United States.
"We are pleased to announce the AFM and ACM agencies will be joining our robust foodservice division," said Mark Hayden, Acosta's foodservice division president. "The addition of these organizations will add breadth and depth to our offering, as we continue to build the leading foodservice platform in the U.S., and provide our clients with top tier talent and services."
Jacksonville, Fla.-based Acosta provides outsourced sales, marketing and retail merchandising services to more than 60% of the top brands in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry. It has approximately 32,000 associates in more than 75 locations throughout the United States and Canada.
