We’ve been rocking foodservice marketing since 1995.

With big dreams and a hunger for success, Anita Nelson founded IN Food to empower brands with next-level creative, strategic partnership, and an unwavering commitment to setting new standards for what foodservice marketing can truly be.

Proudly women-owned, our team now consists of thinkers, doers, dreamers, artists, innovators, creators, visionaries, storytellers, and every combination therewithin. We’re guided by five tenets which ultimately inspired our name: Business INtegrity, Industry INsights, Marketing INtelligence, Client INvolvement, and Creative INgenuity.

Our 5 Guiding Principles

Marketing INtelligence

Foodservice marketing tools and best practices are evolving rapidly, and we stay abreast of the latest trends to keep you at the front of the pack.

Business INtegrity

At IN, we seek out relationships built on respect and trust. When you partner with us, you can count on getting our best—every time.

Industry INsights

With nearly three decades of foodservice marketing experience, we obsess over the ins-and-outs of each channel so we can help clients make powerful connections.

Client INvolvement

We’re as immersed in your business as you are and seek out partners who believe in transparency, collaboration and a true partnership. That’s when the real magic happens.

Creative INgenuity

We have an appetite for big ideas. On every campaign, we push our creative thinking to the limit so we can do our absolute best work and make a lasting impact.
