“Weird things draw your attention. Little things can be memorable. Make people do a double-take.” -Pete Slosberg from Pete’s Wicked Ale
Pete shared his knowledge and experience during his session on guerrilla marketing. Wise words from an accomplished industry member.
Another great quote from today was from the Beer Media in a Changing World session. Panelists were asked what they were excited about and looking forward to in the industry. Speaker Tara Nurin from Forbes responded, “I’m excited about the increase in the level of diversity in the beer industry.” We couldn’t agree more.
