Our Story

When company founder and CEO, Danielle Mariano, recognized that brands in the food & beverage market lacked proper support from structured experiential marketing agencies, she took matters into her own hands.

For the past 13 years, Mariano Events’ nationwide field team of brand ambassadors has completed thousands of product samplings at dozens of national grocery retailers and unique event venues for more than 400+ innovative natural & specialty CPG brands.

In 2020, Danielle realized not only did emerging brands need marketing support, but they also needed guidance with going to market.  This gave birth to Mariano Accelerate, a boutique firm that offers consulting and brokerage services, to specific retail partners.  When entering the marketplace, we work with our brand partners to provide the most successful launches and proper distribution relationships.
