Branding a Regional Beer

Listen to our featured Ask Those Branding Guys radio show podcast: Branding Santa Fe Brewing Company

Hello, I’m Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing™. Today is Strategic Tuesday and we are discussing what it takes to build the brand of a regional brewing company.

On our radio show Ask Those Branding Guys, we interviewed Brian Lock, owner of Santa Fe Brewing Company, a craft beer manufacturer based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe Brewing is famous for its Santa Fe Pale Ale but also is a product leader with the introduction of new beers ever year including its State Pen Porter and Kickin’ Chickin’ products.

Lock discusses the strategy he uses to build his brand. He explains that the consistent quality of his beer is critical to the success of his brand and also compelling marketing and messaging. He also talks about defending market share with product innovation such as using the latest technology in aluminum cans to protect the taste and life of his beer.

Co-host Dave Hayduk calls in from the Governors Tourism Conference and discusses what New Mexico is doing to market its New Mexico “True” brand and compete against neighboring states such as Utah, Colorado and Texas. Guest host Vera Hayduk and Glover discuss how radio is still a powerful channel to market your brand.
