TRUSTED BY GLOBAL BRANDZ
“I have worked with Wes personally over the past 8 years. 2 of them with Top Shelf Brandz. You will not find a person or company that will out work Wes... We were looking for contacts in large retailers such as nordstrom, REI, etc as looking to work with gyms, pro shops, hotels, etc. We were worried that it would be hard to find a solution that could tackle both opportunities. Wes/Top Shelf Brandz made it super easy as they handled the intros and all the admin aspects of building the relationship. All we had to do was confirm the targets we were interested in from Top Shelf Brandz roster and then Wes brought us back a PO. I love working with Wes and will continue to do so!

SPOTLIGHT
Work With an Industry Leader
"I've dedicated my entire career to the exciting world of fashion, specifically in the direct-to-consumer (DTC) space.”
“I played a key role in transforming Vincero Collective into one of the fastest growing accessory brands globally. Along the way, I spearheaded our Growth Marketing initiatives, which encompassed strategies such as Podcast Advertising, Influencer Sponsorships, Brand Partnerships, Direct Mail, TV Advertising, and Retail expansion.
As I delved deeper into the Retail aspect of the business, I realized the immense potential for DTC brands to evolve into omni-channel powerhouses. However, I also noticed that many DTC owners have limited knowledge of the retail landscape and little time to develop this part of their business. That's where I come in.
With my expertise in strategy, methodology, relationship-building, and negotiation, I've successfully fostered strong partnerships between brands and retailers. Welcome to Top Shelf Brandz, where we bring together the best of both worlds and help DTC businesses thrive in the retail space."
