We Don't Do Passive. The Many is The Participation Company, an independent agency of food and beverage experts who know how to drive participation. We harness the power of a brand's audience, the many, to help it punch above its weight. Food and beverage is what we are. Participation is how we win.
We have worked with 34 food and beverage brands for companies including Monster Beverage, Nestlé, Coca-Cola and Mars. Panda Express named us its creative agency of record in 2020 and its media agency of record in 2025, and El Pollo Loco, QDOBA and Bumble Bee have all hired us.
Participation is the work that made us famous. Hot Wheels For Real set three world records, Between 2 Rides made eBay Motors the #1 parts and accessories channel on YouTube, and a Lunar New Year scratcher drove $10.2M in Panda Express sales in six weeks. We bring the same thinking beyond food, with social and participation work for Google, YouTube, Walmart and eBay, and campaigns for CareCredit, Netflix and Mattel.
