Commercial Clarity for FMCG and Consumer Brands
Independent commercial & brand advisory for consumer-led businesses. We work directly with FMCG / CPG leadership teams, founders and PE-backed sponsors & investors, to identify brand potential and the strategic path it must take to convert brand equity into shareholder value.
ADVISORY SERVICESAdvisory begins where the diagnostic ends.
A Brand Diagnostic names the path. Advisory is what happens next.
Cowan & Associates provides strategic advisory for FMCG and Food & Beverage companies to sharpen commercial strategy, improve decision quality, and widen organisational bandwidth.
We exclusively work with consumer brand portfolios and their sponsors to turn a chosen path into an operating plan, and we work with the clients in situ while it is executed.
We also advise investors and capital allocators on the true potential and anticipated trajectory of their investment or acquisition target and the category it competes in.
