Transcript of Beer industry tech symposium key note 2014
Welcome to Beer 2.0
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
Three really important concepts for today:
1. Beer sales are down, yet there is more opportunity than ever. You just have to know more than your competitor.
2. The good old days of yesterday and volume share will never return.
3. Technology, information, systems and shared intelligence is as important as the beer itself.
The One Who Knows More…Wins.

“He who enters the battle well prepared will surely win.”-Sun Tzu
“Knowledge is power.”-Sir Francis Bacon
“Information is not knowledge.”-Albert Einstein
“Guessing is a really rotten business strategy.”-Lloyd C. Blankfein, CEO Goldman Sachs
This Has Been True For a Long Time.
Today’s Beer Industry is CLEARLY Big Business

So What’s the Problem?
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
Everybody in the supply chain is guessing!
What is worse is that everyone is making business decisions based on somebody else’s guesses.
Leaving Money on the Table isn’t Cool
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
When we guess, we leave money on the table.
“Yeah but we still sell plenty of beer, so what’s the big deal?”
Ok, So Let’s See if it Really is a Big Deal or Not…

Just here in the US, last year’s draft beer unsold opportunity cost was around
If You Do the Math the Answer is…
$690,625,000.00

Relevancy drives engagement.
Relevancy is driven by context.
Context is driven by understanding.
Is it about a beer for an ‘occasion’?
Beer marketing isn’t just situational, it Is also social and psychological.
Capturing Opportunity
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
So, what do you really understand about your beer drinker?
Who exactly are they? What makes them tick? If you don’t know, how can you be relevant?
OR
Individuals Not Avatars
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
Beer marketing is obsolete. The tools we use today are slow, crude and inaccurate.
The market’s tastes and trends are outpacing us.
There is no way to effectively compete and win in this new age without a fundamental shift in our approach and the tools we use.

Moving forward, in the new beer economy, you’llhave to have your beer in the right place at the right time AND in the right mix.
The efficiency of the entire supply chain becomes more critical than ever before.
You’ll need to Demand Match your product for micro-trends like local tastes, culture, economics, social dynamics, as well as, the old favorites like seasonality.
Target does it. So does McDonald’s. Proctor & Gamble too. So does Ford. Nike. Nordstrom’s. Harrah’s. Coke and Walgreen’s.
We in beer do not.

Nah, the whole car thing is a fad Bob. I mean sure, it’s growing quick but it is still just a tiny fraction of horse sales. The demand for horses will NEVER go away. I wouldn’t worry about it.
Millennials are the X Factor. Better gear up...
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
Millennials will comprise more than one in three of adult Americans by 2020.
Millennials will make up as much as 75% of the U.S. workforce by 2025.
Millennials account for more than $1 trillion in U.S. consumer spending.
71% of young males preferred beer in 1992, 41% do so today

The Only Constant is Change!

“The change is generational. Millennials do not want to drink their father’s beer.”
-Mike Mazzoni, beer industry guru
“There are more SKU’s than ever before, the familiar categories are blurring. We must innovate to take advantage of this new leaky bucket.”
-Jim Koch, Boston Beer
The Only Constant is Change!
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
The beer industry as we have known it for the last 50 years
IS NEVER COMING BACK.
Bud and Miller and all the lights will never return to dominant share glory
SO, INNOVATE, INITIATE OR EVAPORATE.

Don’t believe it?
Am I over-reacting?
The Pace of Change is Accelerating!

“Yikes. What to do?”
Invest in New Technologies & Information Systems
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
It isn’t about ‘more beer’ or ‘more categories’, it is about getting the right product in the right place at the right time
Invest in New Technologies & Information Systems
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
Develop contextual and actionable intelligence streams.
Know what is happening NOW in hyper-localized markets
Don’t underestimate the power of on-premise.
Engage directly with customers. Help them find the beers They want, when they want them. Social is your direct link to them.
Share in THEIR story instead of them sharing yours. Be relevant. Find the right context!
Maybe it’s Time to Re-Address Priorities…
SteadyServ Confidential: Do Not Copy or Forward
Yeah, I know. All this sounds hard.
It SHOULD be hard.
“I don’t know. This sounds hard. I have a lot to do already…”
Maybe it’s Time to Re-Address Priorities…
Why the Effort Matters

Just the US on-premise market is LARGER than the total GDP of two dozen recognized countries.
Just the draft beer segment alone is 4x larger than The U.S. Smart Phone Market!
