Field marketing in Los Angeles

Los Angeles spreads across many retail corridors. We build coverage plans by account and neighborhood.

Field marketing in Los Angeles: what to know

Los Angeles is a collection of markets, not one. Retail corridors, neighborhoods and traffic patterns decide how many stops a team can realistically cover in a shift.

We build coverage plans by account and neighborhood, staff sampling, audits and events, and check every shift in by GPS. Each shift ends with a recap and photos.

Grocery chains, natural and specialty stores, convenience and package retail are all present. Natural and specialty retail are an important channel for many brands. We confirm each retailer's demo rules before the shift.

Festivals, sports, entertainment events and farmers markets give brands places to sample outside the store.

  • Plan by corridor

    A realistic route clusters stores that are close together. Cross-city routes waste time and cost.

  • Distinct neighborhoods

    Venice, Silver Lake, the Valley, Downtown and the South Bay behave like separate markets. We select accounts accordingly.

  • A West Coast anchor

    Los Angeles pairs with Las Vegas for a Southwest plan.
