About The FUN Hub

Built by a CPG founder who needed this too.

The FUN Hub wasn't created from the outside looking into CPG. It was created inside the day-to-day reality of building a brand.

I knew I needed help. I just didn't need another employee.

The FUN Hub was created by Tal Garden, founder of Tal's Mediterranean.

Like many CPG founders, I found myself doing everything — following up with retailers, coordinating samples, working with brokers and distributors, managing demos, and chasing replies. And somehow all of it kept finding its way back to me.

I needed capable people who could learn the business and help keep things moving — without building another expensive layer of full-time employees.

That became The FUN Hub.

What started as a solution for my own company became a support system for other CPG founders facing the same problem.

How we're built

U.S.-managed. Philippines-based. CPG-focused.

Our Assistants are based in the Philippines, while The FUN Hub is managed from the U.S. by people who understand the realities of growing a CPG company. That combination gives brands capable ongoing support while keeping the relationship connected to the U.S. CPG market.

Space to build relationships.

Space to develop the next product.

Space to work ON the company instead of constantly working IN it.

The purpose of The FUN Hub is simple
