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`re proud to share our latest #MNFoodPicks feature: Radish Farm Stop, a new producer-first grocery shop in Southwest Minneapolis founded by former IN Food team member Lily Gross. 💚
Four years in the making, @radishfarmstop is built on a simple but powerful foundation: putting farmers and producers first. They retain ownership of their products and receive 70% of every sale. 🧅
Since opening in July, the shop has partnered with around 80 local suppliers, with plans to double that number in the next year. 🥬
A few of our team members recently stopped by, and we couldn`t be prouder of what Lily has built! Read the full story at the link in our bio!
📍 5357 Penn Ave S, Minneapolis

If you have an agency search on the horizon, these 5 tips will help you find a partner who feels like an extension of your team. 👇
