While we make award-winning wine and to-die-for fried zucchini flowers, we’re most known for our house specialty —branding new products, services, and companies. Over the last 41 years, we’ve developed brands in nearly every industry from healthcare, financial, and food & beverage to business-to-business, education, and real estate development.
At Elisco, we’re always cooking up new ways to help marketing-driven companies shorten their sales cycle, enter new markets and reach new audiences. We’ve eliminated the idea of a business famine and replaced it with a perpetual feast that’s the result of a proactive planning methodology and an expertise in branding new products, services and companies.
In addition to launching new products and services, we also host special dinners, art shows, wine tastings and poetry readings that feed the mind and foster the best kind of thinking for our clients.
