Marketing Smarts: Classics: 4 Tips for Utilizing Brand to Differentiate in a Crowded Space with Andy Snyder, Rhinegeist Brewery

For this episode, we welcome special guest Andy Snyder, Brand Manager at Rhinegeist Brewery. He discusses brand as a key means for differentiation in a crowded category – in this case (pun intended), craft beer. Brand is THE starting place for any company to build the right emotionally-led foundation to connect with consumers. It’s those emotional connections that – when built authentically – drive consumers to choose you more often, indefinitely. This episode covers everything from differentiation to IPAs. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

  • How do you utilize brand to differentiate in a crowded space?
  • Why should your communication strategy be rooted in your brand character?
  • How do you make sure your Why translates into all communication channels?
  • Why should you utilize your brand purpose when evaluating competitive threats?
  • How do you use your brand as the lens to make decisions on your marketing efforts?
  • What’s involved in revisiting your brand?
  • How do you compete if there are already other strong brands in the space?
  • What do Rhinegeist and Green Day have in common?
