Common Goals for Rebranding

Project goals and metrics are different with every project because the local context is always different. Reviving a legacy brewery brand requires different goals than revamping the branding and packaging of an eight-year-old brewery looking to triple its production in the next three years.

Here are some examples of common goals that we hear from breweries around the world to get you started.

  • Sell. More. Beer.
  • Increase brewing production by XX percent
  • Win XX new draft accounts by the end of the year
  • Launch into XX new markets
  • Increase follower count on Instagram by XX
  • Increase our mailing list subscriber count by XX
  • Create XX new community partnerships
  • Donate XX percent of profits to the following charities…
  • Increase merch sales through our website and tasting room
  • Book more private event space rentals
  • Sell XX more brewery tours per month

Other, more qualitative goals that we regularly see include wanting to be better recognized in your community, wanting to gain a better understanding of your story and how to tell it more effectively, and helping your entire team understand what you stand for.
