WHO WE SERVE
Emerging and growing consumer brands navigating retailer relationships, trade strategy, and operational scale. From go-to-marketing planning to fractional Chief of Staff support for brand leadership.
Retailers and brands implementing new retail planning platforms. Compass bridges the gap between vendor and operator - translating your business needs into a system that actually gets used.
WHY COMPASS
Big-firm expertise. Partner-first approach. Most retail consultants bring frameworks built for organizations ten times your size, then disappear once the engagement is over. Compass is different. We meet you where you are, speak in plain language, and build solutions around your business — not a generic playbook. Whether you're a retailer drowning in inventory decisions or a CPG CEO who needs a strategic right hand, we show up as a real partner.

Direction you can trust
Amanda Demeo founded Compass after more than 25 years working across every dimension of the retail industry — buying, planning, operations, and retail software.She created Compass specifically for the businesses and leaders who don't have the time or internal bandwidth to take on the full analytical and strategic demands of their retail world. Her approach is a true partnership. The best path to results is learning and listening first — so that her expertise can be applied where it actually matters, in a way that fits how your business works. Amanda brings the same depth of knowledge to a boutique owner rationalizing their open-to-buy as she does to a CPG CEO preparing for a national retailer line review. That range — and that consistency — is what Compass is built on.
