Sister Brands

What Sister Brands does

Sister Brands Inc. is a privately held brokerage and consulting firm headquartered in South Florida that serves beverage brands operating in the regional market. Founded in 2019 by sisters Vanessa and Elise, who collectively bring over two decades of beverage-industry experience, the firm provides a three-pillar service offering to spirits and non-alcoholic beverage brands: Sales Services (monthly sales reviews, market updates, strategy and budgeting), Marketing Services (on/off-premise promotions, trade show and event management, marketing budget planning), and Distributor Management (pricing and programming coordination, brand launches, and distributor goal management).

The firm's core "product" is therefore human-capital-intensive relationship brokerage rather than a technology platform; source data explicitly states that proprietary technology is not applicable. Sister Brands activates brands at high-profile South Florida venues and events — including Art Basel at the Fontainebleau, Swim Week at Rosa Sky, and premium restaurants such as Villa Azur, Seaspice, Kiki's on the River, and Doya — and pairs those activations with go-to-market support through an established network of beverage distributors.

Sister Brands generates revenue through brokerage commissions and consulting fees on a project/engagement basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Its distribution channel is built on working relationships with seven major wholesalers — Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, RNDC, UNFI, Park Street, Mexcor, BBG, and MHW — which provide client brands with multi-channel market access in South Florida. The firm is privately held by its co-founders, has not raised external capital, and operates exclusively within the South Florida geography.
