The Challenge

Mezete, a premium hummus brand from Jordan, set an ambitious goal: break into the highly competitive U.S. mainstream grocery market. With established players dominating shelf space and strong regional preferences shaping consumer choices, entering the U.S. market required more than just a great product — it needed a smart, data-driven go-to-market strategy. Mezete approached us to help shape their U.S. expansion and establish a foothold in a category crowded with legacy brands.

The strategy and execution transformed Mezete’s U.S. entry. Their AI-driven approach gave us clarity, speed, and real traction.

  • Ran full-funnel optimizations on Amazon—listing improvements, targeted ads, review strategy, and AI-powered content testing.
  • Leveraged Amazon performance data to build a strong proof-of-demand story for retail buyers.
  • Used this traction to secure meetings and open doors with major convenience and grocery retailers across the U.S.
