San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 09, 2014 -- Silicon Valley etailer startup of award-winning teas, brown rock sugar and San Francisco’s 2013 Food & Beverage winner Pooki’s Mahi announced today a new partnership with Edible Silicon Valley. The partnership will expand Pooki’s Mahi’s brand nationally and support its revenue growth.
“Meghan Gieber, Edible Silicon Valley’s Social Media Lead reached out to me soon after Pooki’s Mahi launched the Matcha Tea Collection to explore a partnership opportunity. I soon met with Meghan and Kerri Stenson, Publisher and Editor for Edible Silicon Valley magazine and we started to iron out what both companies can do to expand both brands and leverage each other’s expertise. I’m impressed with Kerri’s and Meghan’s journey especially the key lessons they’ve learned to launching Edible Silicon Valley,” says Leslie Magsalay-Zeller, Founder/CEO of Pooki’s Mahi.
Les continues, “A top goal for Pooki’s Mahi is revenue growth. Revenue growth can’t be done without brand expansion. For 2014-2015 Pooki’s Mahi will achieve these goals by focusing on brand recognition in Silicon Valley where the company is based as well as nationally into influential foodies and tastemakers outside of the entertainment industry. Pooki’s Mahi is experiencing tremendous growth in our wholesale channel. Partnering with Kerri’s Edible Silicon Valley Magazine will help Pooki’s Mahi’s growth expansion in Silicon Valley and nationally through their extensive network of influential foodies and tastemakers. Edible Silicon Valley Magazine’s collaboration style fits with Pooki’s Mahi’s culture.”
Edible Silicon Valley will help expand Pooki’s Mahi’s brand by posting blog post(s), publish possible recipe feature in summer 2014, social media promotions, and distributing samples of Pooki’s Mahi’s products and marketing pieces at upcoming Edible Silicon Valley events.
