Nectar is a marketing agency that provides account management and creative services
for established consumer product brands. Nectar primarily works with brands to scale
their sales on third-party marketplaces like Amazon. However, Nectar also develops

iDerive, which it uses to manage its clients’ businesses and sells as a stand-alone
platform.

As a fully remote digital marketing agency, Nectar values culture and teamwork as well
as work-life balance. If you are a self-starter who likes to be supported by a team but has
the autonomy to do your own work, Nectar is the place for you.

client partners. We pride ourselves on ensuring that our employees have a manageable
workload in order to be able to deliver quality results for our client partners.
