We’ve been rocking foodservice marketing since 1995.
With big dreams and a hunger for success, Anita Nelson founded IN Food Marketing & Design to empower food and beverage brands with next-level creative, strategic partnership and an unwavering commitment to setting new standards for what a foodservice marketing agency can truly be.
We specialize in foodservice marketing and design, serving manufacturers distributors in the convenience store (C-store), foodservice and retail food channels. From packaging design and brand development to digital content, trade-promotion strategy, in-store POS and social media for foodservice brands, we are dedicated to making your brand stand out and grow.
Based in Minneapolis and proudly women-owned, our team now consists of thinkers, doers, dreamers, artists, innovators, creators, visionaries and storytellers—all united by our love of food, brand and channel success.

We "kneaded" this. 😉
Recently, Alyssa hosted a Sourdough class for the team, walking us through the ins and outs of starters, stretch-and-folds, and the science behind that perfect crust.
It was equal parts educational and delicious. Big thanks to Alyssa for sharing her skills! 🥖

Soup Days at IN = peak winter comfort. ❄️
Anita recently made Lasagna Soup for the team and it delivered everything you love about classic lasagna with ground beef, sausage, spinach, marinara, and a dreamy trio of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. 😍
It’s hearty, cheesy, and surprisingly simple to make:
✔️ Brown the meat
✔️ Simmer with sauce, broth, and spices
✔️ Add broken lasagna noodles
✔️ Top with a scoop of cheese
Grab the full recipe so you can add this to your winter rotation at the 🔗 in bio.
