OUR PARTNERS
When identifying potential brand partnerships, we prioritize integrity, passion and reliability of brand leadership in addition to whether the brand is positioned to be successful in the market. Unfortunately, we are not able to partner long term with every brand we have the opportunity of meeting, but we are very proud of our brand partnerships!

TESTIMONIAL
“In today’s extremely competitive and ever evolving environment; independent, emerging brands need more tools than ever to succeed. However, emerging brands rarely have the financial resources available to support the growth in all areas that are needed.
Vertical Group provides a range of shared resources from the c-suite to feet on the street. Their expertise in planning and executing strategic and tactical plans was gained directly from being in the trenches and growing a brand to over 300K cases. The relationships and experience gained along the way are all part of the solutions that Vertical Group provides Hiatus and other clients.
Through this relationship, we are not only able to stretch our resources much further, but also have access to tools that we simply wouldn’t have otherwise.”
Kristopher DeSoto, Hiatus Founder and CEO
