Summary
Business Development Manager - Part-Time
About Our Client
They are representing an exceptionally fast-growing start-up in the alcoholic drinks segment, focused on building a whole new category of drink in the UK market.
Since launch 18 months ago, their client has:
- Sold over 500k pints across the on-trade, off-trade and DTC
- Launched in 5 cities - London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Brighton, Norwich
- Activated at 11 of the UK's best festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude and Wilderness

So, what's this brand all about then?
Let's take a step back. In the UK, around half of consumers drink beer and cider and are happy with their choice. However, for the remaining half, around 70% of them say they don't have a drink of choice. They end up drinking wine, G&T, and cocktails. All great options but compared to beer and cider, these options are high ABV, short and expensive.
But there is a solution! Introducing their client - based on the national drink of Finland, it is the UKs first Finnish long drink, and the only brand razor focused on being a pint-sized beer alternative.
