BrewDog is known for its outrageous stunts and reactivity. But where most brands would respond to a social or cultural trend with a quip on Twitter, BrewDog lets it inspire new products, which then fuels PR, sales and more online conversation. In this episode of Social Minds, we’re joined by BrewDog’s head of social media Josh Benge, previously of KFC UK&IRE, to discuss the merits of the brewery’s unique approach to product and social. We also talk about when stunts go wrong and how to deal with backlash, how to talk about brand purpose without appearing self-congratulatory, and what BrewDog is doing to forward climate change activism.
