Allora, let me welcome you to apertivo hour with this weeks guest Jacob Wood.

Jacob is the Sales & Activation Manager at Allora - a brand reinventing the spritz with their unique, delicious lemon based spirit.

He discusses his journey from field sales to joining Allora, the challenges faced in building the brand, and the strategies employed to engage with customers and bars and getting 'liquid on lips.'

I love what Allora are doing, and Jacob is brilliant.
