073 | Chris Maffeo | Create Demand Before Trying To Capture It | MAFFEO DRINKS

In episode 073, I continue the conversation with Filiberto Amati on his Growth, Brands and More Podcast. I explain the concept of 'Drinks Builder' and we delve into the blurred lines between marketing and sales, discussing how to create demand before capturing it.

I emphasize the importance of understanding customer needs, solving problems with your brand, and building communities, particularly among bartenders.

We discuss successful case studies, the impact of strategic thinking on the supply chain, and tools for effective marketing and advocacy.

This conversation is packed with insights on creating a strong demand for your beverage brand through a bottom-up approach.
