Michael Contardi- In the past six years, Salt Spring Coffee has become one of the leading organic and fair trade coffee brands in Western Canada. We owe much of this success to our partnership with Star Marketing, and their dauntless commitment to excellence at all points along the value chain. Not only has Star Marketing assisted us in gaining entry into important new accounts, but equally as important, they've helped us to grow existing sales through proven strategies that can only come with years of experience in the industry. There are many reasons why I recommend Star to my colleagues in the food industry, but two stand out- unmatched integrity and expertise that delivers results!

Kevin Kobelka - “Danone's partnership with Star Marketing was key to the development of the Danone customer base in British Columbia. Prior to teaming up with Star Marketing Danone had limited business in this market, and very little penetration with the accounts. Star's strong relations with the accounts and willingness to do what it takes to get the job done enabled Danone to grow rapidly in this market to the point where we are now the market leader.”
