In many ways, Samantha Brands Group is an homage to the importance of relationships.
Relationships occur in many forms. For us, the meat of building brands is in building relationships with consumers. Brands express a set of ideas and values that offer an opportunity to connect with likeminded people.
The brands we bring into our lives say a lot about who we are as consumers. At SBG, we revel in building a portfolio of brands that bring pride to our team, our families, and our community. We elevate young consumer brands giving them a platform to connect with consumers and retail partners.
