Who is SALT?

You are joining an extremely ambitious and hard-working, tight team that is working globally at the intersection of agriculture, aquaculture and food in general. We combine branding, media and food industry expertise to create unique brands and channels that change the way the world perceives and buys food.

We place a great focus on regenerative businesses and work with leaders in the space of both regenerative agriculture and aquaculture. We are as connected to farmers as we are connected to investors and bridge gaps that create uniquely powerful connections. We work holistically and strategically with our clients, embedding on c-level and creating entire brand ecosystems on long-term engagements.

Above all, our team is kind, honest and direct. It is full of interesting people that love nature, adventure, great food and wine and are intellectually curious about everything they encounter. We take care of each other, believe in each other and do everything we can to inspire, motivate and lift each other up. No toxic behaviour is tolerated, playing games only delays us from achieving our goals. We are committed and convinced that together we can make a huge difference and build an ecosystem that will change the way the world makes their food choices. 

If this is for you - we can’t wait to hear from you.
