Retail is in our DNA…

Our story is built on generations of retail experience.

In the mid-70s, while working for Black+Decker Tools, George King spent time in consumers' homes to understand their needs. That direct insight led to the innovation of the Dustbuster® and established the consumer-first philosophy that launched Sales Factory in 1984. George built an agency that didn’t just create ads, but solved problems by combining research, strategy, and creativity.
Today, that legacy evolves under Rob Belk.

Retail runs deep in Rob’s blood. As part of the four-generation family legacy behind Belk, Inc., he learned the industry from the ground up. As a teenager, he began his career selling ladies’ shoes at the Belk in Charlotte’s Southpark Mall. Now an accomplished entrepreneur with deep expertise in ecommerce, supply chain, and product marketing, Rob brings a lifetime of retail intuition to the agency.

Our leadership understands what it takes to win in modern retail because we have lived it, from the shop floor to the digital shelf.

What Drives Us

Over the past four decades, hundreds of durable brands have trusted us for real growth: more shelf space, more sales, more impact. Our success is measured by yours.. Here’s what fuels our approach:

Data-Obsessed

We don’t make guesses — we make moves backed by insight. From boots-on-the-ground research to constant iteration, our strategies are rooted in real behavior and proven results.

Partnership

We’re more than just a vendor — we’re an embedded extension of your team. Alignment, transparency, and shared goals are how we get to real impact.

Results-Driven

No fluff. No filler. Every deliverable we create is built to perform. We measure success in growth, not likes — and we don’t stop until we get there.

We Only Win When You Win

Our Partner Pricing structure ties our compensation to your success. You tell us what you consider a win, and we design a bonus based on your goal. Then we reduce our upfront fee. If we reach your goal, we receive the bonus. If we don’t meet your goal, you only pay the reduced fee.

Our 4 Part Process

Our company has used the 4-Part Process to grow brands since the beginning. It’s part of our DNA and the single-most-important tool for how we’ll help you grow your brand. Let’s put it to work for you.
