Strategy for brands, companies, and associations to win in Washington and with consumers.
202 Consumer Ventures, which derives its name from the area code in our nation’s capital, is a strategy practice that works to grow emerging consumer brands and engage companies and industry associations in Washington, D.C.
Founded by Brandon Partridge, 202CV has three specific areas of focus, each of which draws upon the insights Brandon has gained over 20 years as part of the food industry in Washington: Association Strategy, Industry Affairs, and Emerging Brands.
EMERGING BRANDS
Engage deeply with founders and CEOs of young consumer brands on operations, growth, and investor relations. In addition, 202CV advises founders and executives on the use of public policy advocacy in Washington as a brand-building tool for young companies.
INDUSTRY AFFAIRS
Advise companies of all sizes on the most high-impact use of investments in industry associations. Whether the goal is industry influence, customer relationships, or policy priorities, 202CV helps companies advance business objectives through industry leadership.
ASSOCIATION STRATEGY
Work closely with association leaders to showcase the work they do for their members with counsel on strategy, membership, partnerships, event content, and governance. 202CV is a Swiss Army knife-like resource for association CEOs and their teams.
