#13 Black Iris: The secrets to marketing on a budget
You
might be making the best beer on the planet, but in a market that is becoming more crowded and competitive, how are you
going to get somebody to make that discovery? You have to think marketing.
While
some brewers act like the word is the most obscene one out there, not fit to
mention in even unpolite society, it’s the word that can save your business.
You can’t help but marvel at the ad campaigns of some of the big boys like Guinness and Carlsberg. However, here at the Brewers Journal Podcast, who we admire most are the works of those craft brewers who pull off the amazing with the budget of a McDonald’s cheeseburger. For this reason, we’re at Black Iris in Nottingham, where Alex Wilson will tell you how they’re doing it oh so well.
