Company Logo



Beer is a special product,
so customer is also special.
Beer consumption is
overwhelmingly maledominated, with men
accounting for more than
80% of the volume
consumed.
Of all the beer types, light
beer is the most favorite
product women like. They
are more attractive by
micro-brewed beers than
big brand because of their
greater variety.

PROMOTION STRATEGY
Company Logo





For many years, the brewer, best known for Fat Tire
Amber Ale, thrived on word-of-mouth communication
to sell the brand.
NBB’s marketing consisted of traveling to beer
festivals and handing out free samples.
In 1996, NBB became more focused and proactive on
marketing efforts.
Introduced such signature NBB events as the
multicity philanthropic bike festival, Tour de Fat.
Developed engaging contests like “What’s Your
Folly?” which invites consumers to pitch their
Beerdream to win immoral fame on an NBB
postcoater.
Company Logo

All events, sponsorships, and interactive games
have been bolstered by strategic purchase of
print media advertising.

Developed a series of storyboards for the
commercials featuring the “Tinkerer”.

They carried out NBB’ first television-based
advertising campaign named “Follow Your Folly”.

After working with the manifesto, NBB selected
television as one of the main advertising
campaigns to attract customer.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Company Logo
Strength



Cleaver marketing concept: “Follow Your
Folly…Ours is Beer”. The message not only
promotes the product but it relates to a lifestyle.
Well treated employees who enjoy their job.
Environmentally, socially, and ethnically
responsible company.

Comprehensive product lines of different beers.

Strong brand name among customers.
Company Logo
Weakness



Marketing does not use traditional marketing to
advertise their beer.
They may not focus on the core business of
making beer.
Higher costs since they cannot utilize economies
of scale.
Company Logo
Opportunities




Building a strong brand culture.
“Tour de Fat”, which sponsored by NBB, give its
brand name to everyone all over the world.
Beer and brewery industry has been developing
in many countries globally.
Develop small scale business and emerging
enterprises to get a higher market share.
Company Logo
Threats




Competitors have better products with high quality
than NBB, such as Anheuser-Bush, Coors and Miller.
The “Big Three” brewers have long dominated
mainstream televised beer advertising in the United
States. Compete with the messages:
- Boston Brewing : interesting case study.
- Sam Adams : a beer of highest quality.
Customer demand, needs and wants is increasing,
i.e. how beer should taste, premium products had to
be placed in stores…
The message from NBB could be misunderstood.
