2020 Companies, a leading U.S.-based outsourced sales and marketing organization, and Influence Retail Services, a Canadian retail, digital, and experiential marketing firm, today announced a major partnership designed to expand their combined capabilities across North America.
“This partnership aligns the strengths of both organizations while allowing each company to continue operating independently as standalone go-to-market brands. Influence’s client-first culture is a natural fit and complements 2020’s approach in the marketplace,” said Christopher B. Munday, Chairman and CEO of 2020 Companies.
2020 Companies, a retail sales, merchandising, and experiential marketing agency, is headquartered in Southlake, Texas.
Located in Mississauga, Ontario, Influence Retail Services is an integrated marketing services agency. The company creates immersive in-field experiences, amplifies those experiences online, and paves the path to purchase in-store.
The partnership expands 2020 Companies’ Canadian presence while providing Influence Retail Services with enhanced access to the U.S. market. The companies will collaborate to support brands seeking seamless retail execution, sales optimization, and experiential marketing solutions across North America.
“Canada represents an important market for our clients. Partnering with Influence Retail Services allows us to expand our footprint and capabilities while working with a team that deeply understands the retail landscape,” said Steve Peters, President of 2020 Companies.
