On Brews News Week host Pete Mitcham and Brews News founder Matt Kirkegaard discuss the attention-grabbing beer stories of the week.
This week, we are again joined by Zoe Ottway from Totem Marketing, we are also joined for the first time by Fiona Sproles from Adelaide’s Dusty Cowgirl Designs.
Fiona is a former in-house designer for Little Creatures and her Dusty Cowgirl Designs continues to do graphic design and copywriting across the Little Creatures, White Rabbit and other craft brands for Lion. In the week that Coopers announced a nearly 10 per per cent decline in sales, we get our crack marketers to discuss Coopers woes.
In pushing the Cook Limit this week we also discuss:
- CUB’s history of getting history wrong and whether the true history of a brand is more valuable than a marketing version.
- DME goes into receivership
- Queensland’s craft beer strategy
