If your work touches farming, food, sustainability or health, we can help you fix what's broken, fuel what's next, and find your way forward.
      What types of agriculture, food and CPG brands hire 6 Seeds?+
      We work with agriculture and food organizations at turning points — brands that are stuck, stalled, or scaling. Maybe you're facing competitive pressure, entering new markets, navigating a crisis, or your story isn't landing despite having a great product. Clients include commodity boards, grower associations, CPG companies, ag-tech innovators, and agriculture leaders who need to build trust, grow demand, or reset their narrative.
      What does an agriculture and food PR, marketing and research agency do?+
      We help agriculture, food and CPG brands tell their story, build reputation, and grow demand. At 6 Seeds, we combine strategic PR, marketing, and consumer research to help agricultural organizations and food companies launch products, earn media coverage, understand what drives purchase decisions, and accelerate growth — all grounded in evidence, not guesswork.
      How does research integrate with your marketing and PR services?+
      Research is the foundation of everything we do. Our synthetic consumer research uncovers why people buy agriculture and food products, what they believe about sustainability and health, and what messaging actually moves them to act — insights that directly shape marketing strategy, PR campaigns, product positioning, and go-to-market plans. This ensures your decisions are evidence-based and your brand narrative resonates with buyers, not just browsers.
      Does 6 Seeds serve clients across North America and globally?+
      Yes. Although our headquarters are in Toronto, we work extensively with clients throughout the U.S. and internationally. Our experience includes North American commodity boards, agriculture associations, global food brands, and emerging innovators expanding into new markets.
