As the fully outsourced marketing team, The Grist told the Do One Better story in a unique and compelling way across all our communication channels, allowing us to drive sales velocity and get on the radar of Strategics as the fastest-growing BFY snack on the market. The end result, with a strategic sale to PepsiCo, speaks for itself."

- Paul Nardone, Former CEO of PopCorners

To grow revenue, your company is marketing to potential customers. Right? But when you’re ready to sell your company, there’s another target audience you should be marketing to—potential buyers.

The Grist, a global brand and marketing agency, is a pioneer in the world of pre-exit branding. For over two decades, we’ve created, developed, and refined the Branding for Buyout® methodology, employing it to dramatically increase enterprise value for high-profile exits like Pop-Corners’ sale to PepsiCo.

It’s all explained in the game-changing book, Branding for Buyout®. This entrepreneurial approach to an exit, has added millions to the deal table. We’re ready to change the M&A world forever and materially enhance exit values for owners and their families.
