Direct-to-consumer and retail snack brand scaling across channels
LOVE CORN is a snack brand built on DTC and retail distribution, now executing a multi-channel expansion into food service, away-from-home venues, and retail media. The tech stack is pure growth-ops—AWS, Instacart, TikTok Shop, Criteo, Klaviyo, Meta, YouTube—with no engineering tools visible, which aligns with their project focus on go-to-market execution, broker management, and content production rather than product development. Active hiring is concentrated in marketing and sales leadership, signaling a scaling phase focused on channel activation and brand presence.

The brand leverages social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest) and performance marketing (Meta, Criteo) to drive awareness and trial. With 11–50 employees based in Ho Ho Kus, NJ, the organization is actively scaling distribution and channel management infrastructure.
