Case: New Belgium Brewing (B)

This case discusses how New Belgium Brewing expanded its branding and communication strategy from a focus on word of mouth and event sponsorship to include television advertising, web-based communication, and social media. The development of New Belgium’s “Brand Manifesto” is reviewed, along with the company’s decisions regarding media selection, messaging components, and advertising production. Despite the company’s continued growth in terms of both distribution and promotional complexity, New Belgium has remained focused on its core values of customer intimacy, sustainability, whimsy, and fun.
