Our Story

Built by Marketers
Who Love Food

We didn't stumble into the catering industry — we chose it. Because we believe that the people who feed the world deserve world-class marketing.

How We Started

Catering Deserved Its Own Agency

Dish Mark was born from a simple observation: catering businesses — some of the most skilled, passionate operators in the food world — were being failed by generic marketing agencies that didn't understand their industry.

Our founder Alex Rivera saw this firsthand while working with a catering client at a large advertising agency. The strategies being applied were cookie-cutter. They didn't account for seasonality, event-driven decision cycles, the primacy of visual food content, or the deeply relationship-driven nature of catering sales.

So Alex left. And with a small team of food-passionate marketers, built the agency that catering businesses actually deserved: one that speaks their language, thinks in their timeline, and measures success in bookings — not vanity metrics.

Today, Dish Mark works exclusively with catering businesses across the country, from boutique event caterers to large corporate catering operations. The rule has never changed: we only work with catering. Always.
