“When we were evaluating partners for Starface, we weren’t looking for a passive check. We needed a firm that understood consumer brands at a genuine level and could operate as real partners when things got hard. Astō has been exactly that. They come with a point of view, they share data across their portfolio that actually helps us make better decisions, and they don’t flinch when the conversation gets difficult. That’s rare.”
