ABOUT THE BRAND
BREWDOG DISTILLING CO: Ignoring the mainstream world of gin, vodka, rum, and tequila BrewDog Distilling Co. is obsessed with quality and ensuring maximum flavour in their spirits. We make all of our spirits from scratch at our Aberdeenshire distillery (except for Tequila, obviously), using our incredible bespoke distillery, which includes our world-first triple bubble still and a 27-metre tall rectification column.
BrewDog Distilling has distribution across major grocers, as well as a strong presence in BrewDog bars around the world. While know for beer, we are here to make our mark in the spirits world through disruptive and delicious spirits that are affordable, accessible and bold. So let’s have some fun with it!
KEY AREAS & RESPONSIBLITIES
You will work with BrewDog’s Head of Marketing to bring our 5 spirit and cocktail brands to life in multiple cross-channel and cross-category campaigns, events, activations, sampling and digital activity.
We are looking for a self-starter to take ownership of projects, managing from the briefing stage, through to delivery. You will work closely with other members of the spirits team to support brand awareness, growth, consideration and rate-of-sale driving initiatives. With great distribution across the off-trade, you will support the Head of Marketing in bringing in-store and digital activity to fruition, being the direct contact for our off-trade partners and their media owners.
There will also be a focus in supporting our specialist on-trade distributor in driving our presence in the on premise. As the key contact, you will work with the team to develop sampling initiatives, event menus, special serves and the delivery of point of sale.
