FOOD & BEVERAGE

Digital Marketing Partners was founded in 2019 by Marc Lapides, a 20+ year marketing veteran.

Prior to starting DMP, Marc was the Vice President, Marketing & Programming at the National Restaurant Association, where he led marketing and sales enablement for the Association’s annual 65,000-person convention. Marc’s role was to market to the same restaurant buyers you pursue every day and develop a deep understanding of their most pressing needs and concerns.

Marc has also recently consulted in marketing and sales for PathSpot, a hot food tech startup, as well as the National Restaurant & Bar Show, held annually in Las Vegas.

Marc has had a long career in the F&B industry. Prior to the above, Marc was Chief Marketing Officer at Cosi Restaurants, a 100+ unit sandwich chain, and worked at top advertising agencies where he led the North American, award-winning advertising for Coca-Cola brands, was the digital marketing lead for Hershey’s partnerships with Walmart, Kroger and other retailers, and worked with Kraft and other top F&B brands.
