Union is looking for a US-based spirits advisor on behalf of an international spirits producer that wants to enter and scale in the American market.

What the producer wants help with:
- Route to market and choosing the right importer
- Approaching and working with distributors, state by state
- Getting the brand placed in bars and restaurants
- A clear view of how three-tier works for a newcomer

The right fit is someone who has hands-on experience scaling a brand in the US and knows the importer, distributor and on-premise side from the inside. A solo consultant, small collective or boutique firm is fine. The producer's budget for advisory work is modest, so this suits an adviser who works on a lean, clearly scoped basis rather than a large retainer.

The producer is serious about entering, answers quickly, and wants plain terms on what a successful introduction means before work starts. With the new year close, conversations started now can be scoped in time to begin then.

If this is your kind of work, reply with a short note on the brands and markets you have scaled and how you usually structure an engagement.
