Case Study



We took out a full page ad in the New York Times Business Section to make the merger between The Peanut Butter Group and Chocolatey Corp. feel authentic. 



We then created PBCincorporated.com, which featured a 24 page deck that educated potential investors with charts, graphs, and quotes. These were included in briefcasees that doubled as influencers kits.
