What does craft beer have to do with event planning in 2023?
If you work in the marketing and event industry, it's highly likely that you've been engaging in conversations about the future of event planning, as we continue to adapt to the WFH era.
One aspect of this evolution is the increasing need for a hybrid event model. This approach has gained popularity as it offers the best of both worlds - the convenience of virtual events and the engagement of in-person events.
Just as workplaces need to provide hybrid working options, event planners must also consider this hybrid approach to cater to a wider audience and enhance the overall event experience.
But, what does this have to do with craft beer?
As virtual and hybrid events continue to gain popularity in the WFH era, it's crucial to incorporate an element of excitement to entice attendees to participate, whether they're joining in-person or remotely... And what's more fun than drinking beer and receiving presents? This is precisely how our Virtual Craft Beer Tasting Experience came to be - a unique and engaging way to bring people together and make virtual events more enjoyable.

Case Study
Product Launch Event
Manflower Co was approached by Cisco to help organise a virtual craft beer experience as part of a product launch that invited customers to attend. Similar successful events had been run in the US, however Cisco needed a local partner to roll out the event Australia-wide. The shift towards virtual events came about due to poor attendance rates for in-person events. To facilitate the craft beer experience, Manflower Co worked closely with the events and marketing team at Cisco. This involved the assembly and distribution of tasting packs to local Cisco offices and their attendees, coordinating a craft beer expert to lead the beer tasting, and incorporating branded elements such as marketing collateral.
Due to the success of the first event, Manflower Co have coordinated a further two events with another two scheduled.
