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.

Happy birthday to our account executive Lizzy! 🎂
She is the kind of person who brings the same energy to everything she does, whether she`s keeping a project perfectly on track, knowing every Taylor Swift lyric ever written, or making sure Frank gets his daily walk.
Detail-oriented, organized, and endlessly enthusiastic, she makes every day at IN Food a little better.
We`re so lucky to have you, Lizzy. Hope your birthday involves an Aperol Spritz or two. Cheers! 🥂
Exciting things are happening over here! 🎉

Meet Shelagh Mullen: graphic designer, chef, food entrepreneur, sourdough obsessive, and the woman who smuggled her sourdough starter back from Ireland! 🥖
Shelagh is one of those rare people whose career and passion are completely inseparable. She`s spent years blending her love of design and food into something entirely her own, from launching a line of whole-grain baking mixes at the Mill City Farmers Market to attending culinary school in Dublin and teaching hands-on sourdough classes out of her home kitchen.
She`s also been a beloved member of our Food Connections community since 2017, and we`re so glad she is.
Read her full spotlight to hear about her time in Ireland, her sourdough starter O`Sonny, and how she finds inspiration in everything from restaurant menus to ski jackets. 🔗 in bio @shecooksdesign #FoodConnections #PartnerSpotlight
