20 years in the trenches.
Michael Bolos has built and operated multiple consumer brands across skincare, wellness, grooming, pet care, and performance products. That experience isn't a credential on a slide — it's in every recommendation we make.
About Recluse Media Group — CPG Brand Agency
About Recluse Media Group
From idea to shelf. From shelf to scale.
Founded by Michael Bolos with over 20 years of brand-building, product creation, and e-commerce experience. We don't just design brands — we build them, manufacture them, and grow them.
How it started
Built by someone who's done it.
Recluse Media Group was founded by Michael Bolos — an operator who had already built and scaled multiple consumer brands across skincare, wellness, grooming, pet care, performance products, and online retail. Not a creative director. Not a strategist. Someone who had actually moved product.
That hands-on experience is the foundation of everything we do. We built the partner we wished existed — one that understands what it takes to get from idea to market, and what it takes to stay there.
OriginThe first brands we built
How we work
The whole thing. Not just part of it.
Most agencies hand you a logo and a brand guide and call it done. We handle the whole thing — product formulation, private-label manufacturing, packaging, fulfillment, marketing, and online brand growth. One partner, full execution.
That vertical depth means we catch problems before they become expensive ones. We've been on the other side of every decision we recommend.
Most agencies
Deliver brand assets and step back. Manufacturing, fulfillment, and growth are someone else's problem.
Our approach
Stay in the build from formulation to fulfillment. Strategy, execution, and growth under one roof.
MethodStrategy in practice
Where we are now
One-stop. U.S. and international.
Today Recluse serves clients across the U.S. and international markets — entrepreneurs, influencers, athletes, estheticians, barbers, and business owners launching or scaling consumer products. Whether you're starting with an idea or expanding an existing line, we provide the structure, strategy, and execution to do it with confidence.
Products people trust. Brands people remember. Businesses designed to grow.

Our conviction
We handle the whole thing —so you can focus on building.
From product formulation and private-label manufacturing to packaging, fulfillment, marketing, and online brand growth. One partner. Full execution.
Execution is the product.
Strategy without execution is a document. We treat the finished brand — on shelf, in market, converting — as the deliverable. We stay in the build until it's done.
Vertical depth.
Formulation to fulfillment, under one roof. That depth means fewer handoffs, fewer gaps, and a partner who understands every stage of the CPG lifecycle — not just the part they're billing for.
