The Challenge

Agua Blanca Seafood had everything a modern food brand needs:

‍
✅ Premium, chef-grade shrimp
✅ A regenerative, sustainable production method
✅ Local freshness that frozen imports couldn’t match

But there was a problem:

‍
They were brand new, with no market presence, and faced an uphill battle against:

• Skepticism around indoor-farmed seafood
• Perceptions that “local” means lower quality
• No internal sales team or outreach experience
• No idea which restaurants or retailers to approach—or how

They needed a partner to break through the noise, establish credibility, and get them into doors fast.

The Growtoro Solution

Growtoro stepped in with a multi-layered, precision-built outreach campaign designed to match Agua Blanca’s unique story with the perfect local buyers.

What We Did:

• Built hyper-targeted lead lists of restaurants, boutique grocers, and upscale supermarkets that align with Agua Blanca’s values and customer base
• Crafted custom cold outreach copy that directly addressed:
  • Quality concerns (“How does indoor shrimp compare?”)
  • Sustainability messaging (biofloc, no antibiotics, zero ocean impact)
  • Taste (chef testimonials + award credibility)
• Ran high-volume, high-quality cold email campaigns across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut

The Results (In Just 30 Days)

• ✅ 80+ warm leads from chefs, buyers, and store owners
• ✅ 5 restaurant & grocery store placements secured
• ✅ Dozens of high-intent conversations now in advanced stages
