The beer marketplace has evolved into an increasingly competitive arena. To capture consumers’ attention, as always, good beer is essential, but nowadays a good marketing strategy is more important than ever. And of course, today that involves digital marketing. The University of California Davis has long offered education for those who produce beer, but now the university has introduced a new program for the professionals who market the finished product: the Digital Marketing for Craft Breweries program.
The course provides tools and strategies to develop and execute a robust digital marketing strategy to elevate a brewery’s online presence, drive consumer engagement, and spur business growth. Below, you will find all the details in an announcement from UC Davis.
