We work with premium brands from the Americas that are ready to build a real commercial position in Europe — not a distributor experiment, not a single trade fair. The clients are in the Americas. The execution is European.
Six countries, one direction of travel. What they have in common is a proven business at home and a category where Europe rewards patience.
Premium food, beverage, hospitality and design brands with a domestic base strong enough to fund a European build.
Producers and houses whose quality argument travels, and who need a European partner rather than a European agency.
Coffee, cacao, ingredients, spirits, hospitality and design — the source market we are building a dedicated practice around.
Wine, beef, leather, artisanal food and lifestyle brands with an established export instinct and an underused European position.
Our experience is deep rather than wide. These are the categories where we know the buyers, the price architecture and the trade press by name.
The Americas position is new. The work is not. We have represented Skywalker Vineyards and Skywalker Retreats — George Lucas's estate and retreat in Marin County — to the European wine trade and the European travel trade, and we ran Rizzoli New York's campaign into the French cultural press, including a title produced with Dior.
In each case the brief was the one a São Paulo or Miami founder brings us today: a strong name at home, no standing in Europe, and no appetite for learning three trade cultures the expensive way.
We are not Brazil experts. Brazilians are. What we are is the other half of the equation: the people who know what a German buyer will pay, how a French importer decides, and why an Italian listing takes three visits before it takes a contract.
We are building a dedicated Brazil and Latin America practice from Miami, with Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking colleagues who carry the cultural side we do not claim ourselves.
Brazil interests us as a source market above all: coffee, cacao, ingredients, premium food, spirits, hospitality, design and lifestyle products that hold up against anything Europe makes and are still largely unknown to the European premium trade.
The new EU–Mercosur trade environment makes that conversation easier. It does not make it happen. Access and execution still decide.
Our future operating base for the Americas will be Miami. Not an office with a view of the Atlantic, but a European business house on the Americas side of it: the place clients come to us rather than the other way round.
The intention is a working showroom. Meetings and buyer introductions alongside the things themselves — selected European food and beverage, tastings, Provençal and Italian objects, design, a classic Italian boat as the centre of the room. Sourcing and small events in the same space. A brand from São Paulo or Buenos Aires should be able to understand what European premium actually feels like without crossing the ocean first, and a European producer should be able to meet its future importer over the product rather than a presentation.
This is a plan, not a promise. The house is not open, and we would rather say so plainly than dress it up. Everything else described across this site — the strategy, the distribution, the market presence, the execution in Germany, France and Italy — is available today.
One conversation. One point of contact. No forms, no funnels.
