The Art of Profitable Decision-Making

The adult beverage industry has been upended post-pandemic. With higher-than-usual inflation, less money being spent on alcohol, and new trends like NoLo, RTDs, and premiumization, it’s more critical than ever to lean on best practices to make the right decisions.  

We can help.  

Join us for The Art of Profitable Decision-Making, a live webinar on Wednesday, September 18, at 10:00 am PT/1:00 pm ET. 

 Our host, Kelly Ann Woods, will lead a provocative discussion with these esteemed industry experts: 

• Jerin Mece, co-founder and CEO of Chilly Ones Beverages, Inc. 
• Sean Helmus, Finance Director at Driftwood Brewery

They’ll explore lessons learned about hot topics like the economics of low- and no-ABV, co-manufacturing, and how the right data helped them make profitable decisions that kept their businesses on track—and how you can, too.
