FMCG Connections Pty Ltd was established by Russell Smith in 2004. Through his extensive experience in the Australian retail and wholesale channels, as well as working for a leading Broker in the UK, Russell has gained a broad range of knowledge and understanding of the consumer goods industry. This international 'know-how' has been applied to the business in order to service clients' needs in a productive, professional and efficient way.

Russell works on a client's business as if it were his own, and as a result he manages all tasks with the same passion and attention as the owners of the company themselves. FMCG Connections is not just a 'brand manager', but a 'brand builder' that specialises in taking an unknown brand or concept to the retail/wholesale sectors and producing a household name.

Russell has worked with some well respected international brands, including Cadbury Schweppes, Jacobs Bakery, Ingham Poultry and Grove Fresh Organic Juice, Dentyl PH, Dragonfly Teas & Trisco Foods.
