Company Background
As an icon of Queensland, this beer brand is a way of life for the population and sports fans alike. XXXX is a product created in Milton Queensland at the Castlemaine Perkins brewery, made under Lion an entity one-hundred percent owned by a Japanese company (Lion Co 2018). The brewery has won awards such as an induction into the leader’s hall of fame for its significant contribution to Queensland development (Leaders 2018) and was named a Queensland icon (Brisbane Times 2018).

XXXX Dispute Analysis
When analysing the dispute between the XXXX workers, United Voice (union) and management, it is clear to see that the leading causes for the argument is over a new enterprise agreement (Financial Review 2018), workforce replacement …show more content…

Some of Lion’s brands are already made in New South Wales and Victoria to supply southern states (Financial Review 2018), thus demonstrating regionalism. As an NRL sponsor of the Broncos and Cowboys, the union understands that “fans will feel strongly about ensuring jobs and the brewing staying in Queensland alongside…beloved footy teams” (Queensland Branch 2018). In a strike action, one-hundred workers in Milton rallied to protect jobs in Queensland, the community gathered behind workers assisting the honk if you give a XXXX about workers campaign (Couriermail …show more content…

Immediate action should be taken to “ensure that this iconic brand is not damaged further” and the Greens have committed to stand and support the Queensland XXXX workers (Bartlett 2018). From a sociological aspect, the brand may become undesirable and lose credibility and its ‘iconic’ title, causing the XXXX support base to collapse. Losing market share and profits due to this dispute, especially in high-profile times, will impact the economy of the state. If the brewery were to close, workers would be made redundant causing an influx of unemployed workers with potentially undesirable skills to the market, thus adding more pressure to the state with high unemployment (Caldwell 2018). This may have a domino effect on the rest of the

  • New Belgium Brewing Company

    1349 Words  | 3 Pages

    Belgium is known for a culture of high-quality beer and this concept was formulated by an electrical engineer from Fort Collins, Colorado. The electrical engineer, Jeff Lebesch, was traveling through Belgium on his fat-tired mountain bike when he envisioned the same high-quality beer in Colorado. Lebesch acquired the special strain of yeast used in Belgium and took it back to his basement in Colorado and the experimentation process was initiated. His friends were the samplers and when they approved the beer it was marketed. In 1991, Lebesch opened the New Belgium Brewing Company (NBB) with his wife, Kim Jordan, as the marketing director. The first beer and continued bestseller, Fat Tire Amber Ale, was named after the bike ride in Belgium. The operation went from a basement to an old railroad depot and then expanded into a custom-built facility in 1995. The custom-built facility included an automatic brew house, quality-assurance labs and technological innovations. NBB offers permanent, seasonal and one-time only beers with a mission to be a lucrative brewery while making their love and talent visible. In the cases presented by the noted authors (Ferrell & Simpson, 2008), discusses the inception, marketing strategy, brand personality, ethics and social responsibility that New Belgium Brewing Company has demonstrated. The key facts with New Belgium Brewing Company are the marketing strategy, promotion, internal environment and social responsibility with the critical issues of the public, brand slogan, growth and competition.

  • Anheuser Busch Strategy

    1766 Words  | 4 Pages

    From our research, Anheuser-Busch is content with being the number one beer company in the world, increasing sales each year in operation. We found that Anheuser-Busch met many views associated with the world, business, and behavioral dimensions. The company also displayed its stability as we reviewed one of its most successful products Budweiser, owned by Anheuser-Busch, under the marketing view and the financial view. Not only do they hold almost half of the market share in the industry but their stock prices, sales volume, and net sales have all increased from 2002 to 2003. We also looked at Budweiser in terms of geography and culture. We found due to the fact that the "western" countries consume the majority of beer, it only makes sense that Anheuser-Busch concentrates on that market. Along these lines, another key goal that is also important to Anheuser-Busch is to boost other beer markets that are located in other cultures, where at the time beer is not a major consumption.

  • Big Rock Case Study

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    As it is known that there is a stigma towards beer produced in particular provinces such as the current perception and appeal towards Albertan produced beer, Big Rock must engage in a marketing campaign to remove the emphasis that Big Rock is an Albertan produced beer. Alternatively, Big Rock should market its brand as a Canadian produced premium beer that takes pride in its ingredients and taste. For example, Alexander Keith’s was originally positioned as an Atlantic Canadian beer but following a vigorous advertising campaign, the brand was still able to maintain the maritime values of being social, sharable and approachable. Alexander Keith’s was subsequently able to communicate these values nationally. Furthermore, Alexander Keith’s emphasis on taste which was possible due educational initiatives such as offering “on-premise” experiences, allowed the brand to become one of the leading premium beer brands in Canada today.

  • Mountain Man Brewing Company: Mountain Man Brewing Company

    686 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mountain Man Brewing Company was founded in 1925 by Guntar Prangel who was a coal miner with a home brewery. Consequently, his single product brand “Mountain Man” is marketed largely to other coal miners. Today, the company is still seen as an attractive brand that produces a quality product. Mountain Man Lager emphasizes the use of quality ingredients as well as a bitter flavor and dark coloring. Mountain Man has been an established brand for over 75 years and has the loyalty of older blue-collar clientele. Their lager is the market leader in West Virginia, but Mountain Man also has a strong following in other states such as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. It has generated over $50 million in revenue with 520,000 barrels sold. Not to mention, Mountain Man Lager has been voted as the best known regional beer and has also won “best beer” awards in West Virginia and Indiana. The main advantage that Mountain Man Beer Company has is the loyalty of its consumers, without this loyalty sales will dramatically decrease.

  • Mondavi Alternatives

    1864 Words  | 4 Pages

    Compared to the industry as a whole, Mondavi is not responding to the changing marketplace and demands. While there has been some growth in the ultra and luxury premium market segments, the explosion in the last 15 years had been in the popular premium ($3-7 per bottle) and super-premium ($7-14) sector. Mondavi’s own Woodbridge offering is responsible for 76% of its case volume and 57% of its revenue as of 2001, but seemingly exists in isolation amidst all the high-end offerings from the company. Competitors that have established themselves in jug wine, beer, and other spirits are taking advantage of their sales volume and migrating upward. While E&J Gallo, Constellation, and the beer producers may not have the reputation for quality and craft that RMW possesses, their substantial financial weight has allowed them to develop or purchase brands that could compete in the higher altitudes and price segments. Meanwhile, competitors with similar histories in premium winemaking are taking advantage of lower production costs to horizontally integrate, acquire land, and build new wineries in different countries, as Kendall Jackson has done with the Villa Arceno (Italy) and Yangarra Park (Australia) wines.
