There’s an onslaught of new beer companies vying for the attention of promiscuous craft beer drinkers, so how do you stand out from the crowd?
With more than 3,000 companies all trying to earn shelf space, simply making a high-quality product and hoping consumers will take a chance is the surest way to fail in today’s crowded craft marketplace.
Long-term success for emerging craft brewers requires an enormous attention to detail, strong brand positioning, clearly defined identities and well-executed product marketing initiatives.
That’s why Brewbound is excited to have a pair of Chicago-area entrepreneurs joining Tuesday’s Brew Talks event, which will take place at the Lagunitas Brewery taproom at 5:00 P.M. CST.
Michael Kiser, a brand and portfolio strategist who has worked with a host of large and small brewers will join Solemn Oath Brewing’s co-founder and president, John Barley, in a discussion that will dissect the branding efforts of successful beer brands.
Together, the pair will explain how small brewers can develop and introduce new brands while also communicating a strong narrative and connecting with new consumers.
