From Tex Mex to tequila experts
Awhile back, we observed that super premium tequila brands were gaining a strong foothold with non-traditional consumers. We needed to find a way for our client, Tumbleweed Tex Mex Grill & Margarita Bar, to take advantage of this development.
After our initial research efforts, we met with Steve Brooks. Not only is Steve the Director of Beverage Development for Tumbleweed, he also knows more about tequila than anyone we’ve ever met.
Steve was able to take our initial findings, then offer practical predictions on how this shift will affect the beverage industry and restaurants that feature tequila-based drinks.
With these insights, we crafted a white paper – The Six Hottest Trends In Tequila – that was distributed to various publications and bloggers.
The results were outstanding
The story was picked up quickly. Steve was quoted multiple times as an industry insider. And our client was pleased to be at the center of a lot of positive buzz. This all started because an interesting trend presented itself, and we found a way to use it to grow a client’s brand.
