Description

Something's brewing on The Commerce Marketer Podcast. In this episode, I sat down with David Spengler, co-founder and owner of Vagabund Brauerei, to discuss how three American ex-pats learned to brew beer by watching YouTube – and then started their own brewery in beer's own backyard, Germany. We'll talk about entrepreneurship, how to strategically grow, the customer experience, marketing strategies, competing with large corporations, and how a small brewery with no marketing budget has been able to grow and thrive in a historically beer-savvy environment.

We'll discuss:

• How they went from YouTube videos into launching a brewery.
• How a crowdfunding campaign told them how to market their business.
• Strategies to compete with large, established companies.
• Why getting customers involved enhances the customer experience.
• Why social media has been such a critical tool for growth.
• What was David’s entrepreneurial “Oh, crap” moment?
• Is a hot dog a sandwich?
