About PQ

We’re using food to
change the world

When I was younger, I wanted to change the world, and when I landed a job at Whole Foods Market, I realized the food products we purchase and consume could do that.

After leaving Whole Foods Market, I wanted to continue to combine my passion for activism, marketing, community, and business.

Over the years, we’ve built a team of artists, communicators, analysts, dreamers, and visionaries to give food brands the momentum they need to find their audience and change the world.

Since 2016 we’ve worked with over 100 brands all over North America, and we’re eager to partner with you.
