What we did: A specialty food distributor in the Pacific Northwest came to Click Sector with great products, loyal customers — and no way for new customers to find them.
We optimized their Google Business Profile, restructured their wholesale landing page, and built a simple lead capture system. The result: their profile went from invisible to ranking at position 12.4 on average. Profile interactions jumped 18%. Phone calls went up 57%. Direction requests climbed 54%.
Inbound leads started coming in — 30+ and counting. Two of those turned into paying accounts. One was a cold prospect who had never heard of the brand before — that single account has generated over $11,000 in revenue.
On the retail side, our first targeted email campaign brought in $1,500 in two days.

“I was denied twice. I flew to Japan anyway. I called every Michelin-star restaurant I could find until someone said yes.”
I didn't start in marketing. I started in kitchens.
My culinary career took me from a kosher restaurant in Brooklyn to Michelin-star kitchens in Napa Valley. From a famous Pinchos bar in San Sebastian to late nights cooking in Melbourne. From the streets of Cambodia and Vietnam to a three-star kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto, Japan — a stage I had to fight for twice.
When I first applied for the Japanese visa program for foreign chefs, I was denied. So I flew to Japan anyway — with a translator friend — and applied in person. Denied again. Face to face. By a very stern Japanese chef who didn't leave much room for negotiation.
Most people would have gone home. I went back to my friend's apartment and called every Michelin-star washoku restaurant in Japan until I found one that spoke English. Three months later I was in Kyoto, learning one of the most demanding cuisine traditions in the world.
That's how I approach every problem. I don't accept the first no. I find a way in.
When I returned to the States and joined the team at a food distributor in Oregon, I started studying digital marketing obsessively. What fascinated me was how it combined the two things I love most: business and human psychology. But I kept running into the same problem: agencies didn't understand the food business. They'd sell you a package, post some pretty photos, and report back on reach and impressions — numbers that don't pay your rent.
The food business is brutal. Margins are thin. Competition is relentless. If your marketing doesn't bring real revenue in the door, it's just expensive noise.
That's why I started Click Sector. I'm a world-traveled chef with real food industry experience — from the line to the distributor to the marketing system. Nobody is more qualified to help food businesses compete online.
And I'm not going to accept your first no either.
