One team, two continents, no layers.
Delmonte International is a marketing consulting firm registered in the United States and founded by Australians. Our US operation runs from Nashville, Tennessee. We work where the two markets overlap, and we keep the firm small enough that seniority is structural rather than aspirational.
The middle of the market deserves senior hands.
Consumer packaged goods brands between $1M and $10M a year sit in an awkward gap. In our experience, large agencies cannot afford to put senior people on accounts that size, and solo operators cannot cover strategy, creative, retention and media at once. The result is a market segment where the work is usually done by the least experienced people in the room.
Delmonte is built as a direct answer to that gap. The firm stays deliberately small, the client list stays short, and every engagement is led and delivered by the people who pitched it. We would rather turn work away than staff it down.
Four standing rules.
The people who scope an engagement are the people who deliver it. There is no second team behind the first one, which is why we stay small and selective.
We report against contribution margin and cash, not against platform dashboards. If a number cannot survive a finance meeting, we do not celebrate it.
Australian founders, US operations. The overlap between time zones is not a complication for us, it is the operating rhythm of the firm.
The first conversation is a fit conversation. When we are the wrong firm for the problem, we say so early and point you somewhere better where we can.
