About Us

Who We Are

Agyle Brands is a consumer product goods (CPG) brand accelerator in the Philippines. We aim to propel emerging CPG brands to the forefront of the Philippine market, offering them the knowledge, tools, guidance and operational support to thrive locally and pursue a global vision.

Why We Exist

In the Philippines, the allure of product-based businesses, especially in the realm of e-commerce, is undeniable. The digital landscape offers an immediate sales channel, making it simpler for many to launch their brands. However, the real challenge isn't in product creation but in scaling the business effectively. While the country boasts a rapidly expanding digital consumer base, many early-stage e-commerce startups grapple with limited resources, fierce market competition, and a lack of specialized support. This challenge is further intensified by the influx of global brands that bring with them international recognition and vast marketing budgets. These brands, predominantly led by younger entrepreneurs, often possess expertise in just one area - be it product, supply, or demand. To truly thrive amidst local and global competition, a holistic understanding of all three facets is crucial. 

​

Agyle Brands steps in to bridge this knowledge gap, offering these budding businesses the mentorship and resources they need to differentiate themselves and succeed in a saturated market.

We focus on early-stage retail brands in the Philippines. These brands, often led by young entrepreneurs, have established products and are looking to expand their market presence and brand recognition.
