Brewbound Live 2022: Innovating in an Increasingly Crowded 4th Category with Molson Coors, RGBevs and Bump Williams Consulting

Brewbound Live

Finding white space within the beverage-alcohol industry’s fast-growing fourth category of offerings isn’t easy. Leaders from Molson Coors and Rhinegeist’s RGBevs will share their strategies for finding opportunities, building new brand families and crafting partnerships with major brands.

Joining the discussion will be:

  • Jamie Wideman, VP of Innovation, North America, Molson Coors
  • Adam Bankovich, Chief Commercial Officer, Rhinegeist/RGBevs
  • Dave Williams, VP Analytics & Insights, Bump Williams Consulting

Wideman will explore Molson Coors’ premiumization strategy, as well as discuss how the company has found success through partnerships with alcoholic versions of top non-alcoholic brands such as Topo Chico and Simply.

Bankovich will share how Cincinnati-headquartered Rhinegeist has created a new line of malt-based, fruit-flavored alcoholic beverages under the RGBevs umbrella, while also launching a hard tea, Geist Tea.

Williams will dive into the data to share where the opportunity areas exist.

Tickets are available now for the two-day business and networking event.

The full agenda for Brewbound Live is available now, featuring more than 30 speakers from beverage-alcohol suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, advisory firms and data providers. See the full agenda at BrewboundLive.com.
