Cide Road
To whom it may concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Cascadia Managing Brands. Our company has worked with Cascadia since before my wife and I launched our line of beverages in September 2014. We had no experience in the beverage industry prior to starting Cide>>Road and we were about to launch into a very new and undeveloped category of beverages called switchels. Building any startup is tough, but building a category takes know-how, and I have relied heavily on the expertise and guidance from Cascadia to help me understand and navigate key account sales, distribution strategy, and so much more. I believe their combined experience, expertise, and deep connections to industry players give them a unique advantage over similar firms in the space.
Since our launch, Cascadia has helped grow Cide>>Road to a nationally distributed brand that is currently sold in over 3,300 stores, and we are the clear leaders in the switchel category. I believe Cascadia’s guidance and knowledge helped us achieve this growth while avoiding many of the potential and costly mistakes that can destroy a startup or even an established brand.
Lastly, I believe that Bob, Bob, and Bill are genuinely enthusiastic about the success of our company and the future of our brand. I continue to work with them and speak to them on a daily basis.
Sincerely yours,
Kevin Duffy
