Who is ThornCrest for?

ThornCrest is your brand’s best friend. We are a multifaceted organization offering business solutions across three different tiers, working in tandem and/or independently.

We have the tools and the experience to provide you with the cleanest marketplace for your products and set you up for the growth that you know you’re capable of.

ThornCrest Expand is the sales agency that’s more than a sales agency. The name says it all. We take the quality brand and products you’ve developed and we guide you through tangible expansion—in revenue and reach. If you feel that your sales have plateaued or you’d like to break into new markets, our Expand team is poised to lead you to the next level.

ThornCrest Law is our legal division. Part of the ThornCrest difference is that we have an in-house team of attorneys enforcing your intellectual property rights. If you have experienced violations of your trademarks and patents or believe violations might be occurring, you’re going to want an IP attorney on your case.

Finally, ThornCrest Brand Protection monitors your brands and products across all channels 24/7, identifying and removing fake/counterfeit products, revealing and removing unauthorized resellers, and protecting your reputation everywhere your customers might be. If you have a hot product, bad actors are already plotting ways to make money off of your momentum. ThornCrest Brand Protection is your bulwark against marketplace threats.

What our clients are saying

"Working with Susan and Keith at ThornCrest has been a game-changer for Catalina Crunch! In a short time, they’ve helped us achieve incredible results across both Amazon and Walmart. With their expert guidance, we've successfully removed 97% of unauthorized resellers on Amazon and 95% on Walmart—vastly improving our control over the marketplace. Thanks to their efforts, we now own the Buy Box 98% of the time, which has led to a significant boost in our sales and brand reputation. They’ve also helped us remove over $646k worth of unauthorized resellers and have cleaned up our listings by eliminating unauthorized or duplicate products, as well as addressing copyright infringements. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results!"

"Since our partnership with ThornCrest, we are already seeing amazing results. Megan has gone above and beyond working closely with our distribution partners to identify and solve problems. As a rapidly developing brand, ROI is constantly in the back of our mind. ThornCrest not only pays for themselves, they have increased our online sales.”

Hudson Gaines-Ross, Co-Founder & CEO, Plant People
"With ThornCrest, we have increased our online sales by over 50% from last year!! Working directly with Megan, Kathleen, and Keith, we have been able to remove over $230,000 of unauthorized inventory from Amazon and 90% of the unauthorized resellers! They work hand in hand with our team to maintain 100% Buy Box Ownership on the ASINs they monitor. The value ThornCrest brings is very quantifiable and we plan on expanding services with them as we continue to grow."

Ryan Thayil, Director of Ecommerce, Harris Tea Company
"ThornCrest provided immediate results. With their quick work, we not only cleaned up Amazon.com, but we also expanded to include Amazon.ca. In the first three months working with the ThornCrest team of Sales and Legal professionals, they removed over 90% of unauthorized resellers and increased our Buy Box Win from 50% to 100%. The ROI has been off the charts."

Seth Lofgreen, Sr Director of Ecommerce, Owlet
"ThornCrest has been a partner for several years and we enjoy working with them. Kathleen and Susan are experts in removing unauthorized resellers and trademark infringers. They have been a resource beyond brand protection, and we consider them to be an integral part of our team. In fact, we had more value from Thorncrest in the first 3 months than the last 2 years with our previous BP agency!"

Wendy Carter, EVP, Stansport and Pacific Play Tents
“Through our partnership with ThornCrest, we have continued to expand with them internationally. They have removed over 95% of unauthorized resellers and assisted us in business development efforts in Europe, which is aiding us in bringing on distribution in a territory where our online presence needed to be sharpened. They have been a great resource beyond brand protection and we consider them to be an integral part of our team. Thank you ThornCrest for all you do!”

Meagan Morgan, SVP of Global Sales, Nanit
"We have seen incredible results in just a few weeks. We have worked hand in hand with Keith, legal counsel on our account, who has assisted us with finalizing our authorized reseller agreement and has been sending out cease and desists letters to the unauthorized resellers that were previously diminishing our Amazon and Walmart sales. We are happy to have their wide range of expertise at our fingertips"

Jim Miele, CFO, Rachio
“Over the last 60 days we have enjoyed 95% Buy Box ownership, which is the best it has a ever been in the history of the company."
