A Note From The Content Guy…
As 2026 kicks in, I want to welcome a new Charter Sponsor to the MNB community – Empire Marketing Strategies, which offers its clients in center store, produce, meat/seafood and deli/bakery a unique value proposition: it is the only retail broker with an office inside Kroger headquarters, positioning itself as a trusted and strategic collaborator to both Kroger and the brands it serves.
To be honest, I didn’t know that much about Empire before our conversations. I didn’t know how deeply it is embedded inside the Kroger ecosystem, with more than four decades of experience serving all of Kroger’s banners and divisions. And I didn’t know the degree to which Empire facilitates alliances between Kroger and brands in hundreds of categories, offering a full suite of services, cutting across fresh and center store.
At a time when competition is tougher than ever – for customers, for shelf space, for eyeballs and share of stomach – I believe that collaboration is going to be increasingly key to companies’ successes. My goal with MNB’s Charter Sponsors is to forge sustained relationships with companies that agree, and that in turn believe in MNB’s value proposition and mission – to provoke original thinking, innovation, and strategic investments in the future.
So, welcome to Empire Marketing Strategies. You can find out more about them here, and via the messages they will be communicating to you on a regular basis.
