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.
