Advantage Sales & Marketing LLC (ASM) is the premier consumer packaged goods sales and marketing agency in North America, committed to building brand value for our clients and customers.

ASM was formed in 1987 in Southern California. In 1997, over a three-year period, 21 Tier I companies throughout North America joined Advantage and by April 2000, ASM's goal of becoming the leading sales and marketing agency serving the consumer packaged goods industry was achieved. Today, ASM is the number-one sales and marketing agency in the industry with revenue exceeding $900 million.

Currently, ASM represents more than 1,200 clients. Some of our top clients include: Unilever, Mars, Inc., J.M. Smucker Co., Ralcorp/Post Cereals, Energizer, Johnson & Johnson and GlaxoSmithKline.

ASM's dramatic growth during the past decade reflects the changing consumer packaged goods industry. Ten years ago, there were approximately 2,500 brokers, consisting of local and regional sales agencies. The industry has consolidated to about 300 companies today, and of these, there are only three companies that currently provide national coverage with a broad array of services.

ASM consolidated its member-based organization in June 2004.
