Strategic Alliance CDS has a long-standing 31-year strategic alliance with Costco, connecting brands to Costco members across multiple regions. This suggests sales opportunities in in-store sampling, product trials, and experiential marketing partnerships aligned with Costco’s member education strategy.

Scale and Reach With a large workforce and a global footprint across Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America, CDS can support multinational campaigns and regionally tailored in-store programs for consumer brands seeking broad market penetration.

Revenue Band Reported revenue in the high hundreds of millions to near a billion range indicates substantial purchasing power and the ability to invest in large-scale demonstrations, training, and custom retail experiences for major CPG clients.

Tech Stack Utilizes consumer-facing and workflow technologies (WordPress, Shopify, Gravity Forms, Google Fonts API, HTTP/3, Pingdom) suggesting opportunities to offer digital-enabled sampling programs, e-commerce integrations, and data capture for lead generation and program analytics.

Competitive Position Course of competition includes large players like Acosta, CROSSMARK, and Advantage Solutions. CDS’s Costco-exclusive focus can be leveraged to pitch differentiated, retailer-centric programs, co-branded events, and performance-based demonstrations that tie to retailer goals.
