Lisa Parkhill, Managing Director of MAM, which sells about 63 million baby products a year globally, said, “The team at Smoking Gun has vast experience in the Mother & Baby category and their track record in helping brands reach and appeal to the thousands of new parents entering the market each year gave us confidence we were in safe hands.
“We have a busy pipeline of NPD and Smoking Gun shares our vision to support the individual development of each child and to make day-to-day baby care easier for parents. We can’t wait to get started.”
Smoking Gun MD Rick Guttridge added: “With over 40 years in business, MAM is a powerhouse of a brand with family values at its heart and we couldn’t be more delighted to represent them.
