Guinness, a very well-known beer that has been around for many many years and till this day it is one of the most popular brand of beers around the globe. With its great taste and distinction, this beer is produced at the Guinness Storehouse which is located in Dublin, Ireland in the heart of the St. James Gate Brewery. This Storehouse is the central attraction for every tourist that stops in the city of Dublin, to its employees, and to bartenders from all over Ireland who go to receive training and to learn “how to pour the perfect pint,” says Mary Clarke (Staff, Fast Company). In this essay I will discuss how the Guinness Storehouse came to be, how they operate, how the Guinness Storehouse markets themselves in the economy, and what strategy …show more content…
The Guinness Storehouse redesigns how a brand can perform for customers, employees, and the community. When the Storehouse was redesigned and opened to the public in the late 2000, it was to exhibit the history of the company and to explain how the black stuff was made, it also included training centers for employees, conference rooms, an art gallery, bars, cafes, restaurants, and a place for special events. The director of marketing and strategic planning said, “Guinness as a brand is all about community. It’s about bringing people together and sharing stories.” “It’s a place of interaction among tourist who are traveling around Ireland, for the people who live there, and for new Guinness employees who are undergoing training.” (Staff, Fast Company.) The Storehouse however also has hard times, they have had to reconnect with youngsters from Ireland to drink their product, it’s well-loved and old-fashioned products that make it look old is attracting the senior class, and the younger generation is switching to lighter beer and mixed drinks like vodka and red bull. This is why they came up with a new strategy that after dark there would be live concerts, corporate parties, gallery openings, and much more to attract the younger community. The Guinness Storehouse lures people into the brewery because of their great quality of beer and their excellent reputation they have had for many years. It is the brand that people know will bring great taste and satisfaction, the way that Guinness increases its volume, value, and profits is by their marketing strategy. They have picked a competitive pricing strategy to stay ahead of their rivals, this is why Guinness offers products at premium pricing and make aware that their customers are getting value-based

From our research, Anheuser-Busch is content with being the number one beer company in the world, increasing sales each year in operation. We found that Anheuser-Busch met many views associated with the world, business, and behavioral dimensions. The company also displayed its stability as we reviewed one of its most successful products Budweiser, owned by Anheuser-Busch, under the marketing view and the financial view. Not only do they hold almost half of the market share in the industry but their stock prices, sales volume, and net sales have all increased from 2002 to 2003. We also looked at Budweiser in terms of geography and culture. We found due to the fact that the "western" countries consume the majority of beer, it only makes sense that Anheuser-Busch concentrates on that market. Along these lines, another key goal that is also important to Anheuser-Busch is to boost other beer markets that are located in other cultures, where at the time beer is not a major consumption.

Deutsche Brauerei has been a family owned and operated corporation for 12 generations, which has created a high level of focus and control. Each generation has kept the management and operations processes relatively simple, centered on brewing practices and quality. Deutsche Brauerei’s rapid growth in recent years can be attributed to several factors. First and foremost, the company’s success is centered on the product itself, which has won numerous quality awards and is quite popular in Germany. Another contributing factor to the recent growth may have been a bit inadvertent. The purchase of new equipment in 1994, which was necessary as a result of a fire that destroyed the old equipment, allowed the company to increase brewing capacity and efficiency. Finally, Deutsche Brauerei’s decision to enter the Ukranian market in 1998 contributed significantly to the rapid growth. The collapse of the U.S.S.R. brought market reforms, and Deutsche Brauerei jumped on the opportunity to enter the fragmented beer industry, capture the large population and capitalize on the prime location in Europe. Lukas Schweitzer was savvy enough to hire local expert Oleg Pinchuk away from a competitor as the marketing manager, and Oleg was instrumental in building the business in Ukraine by securing accounts and implementing the field warehousing to support distributors. Deutsche’s beer was hugely popular in the Ukraine almost immediately, and volume sales more than offset the depreciation of the Ukrainian currency. Sales in Ukraine accounted for 28% of Deutsche’s total sales, and skyrocketed from 4,262 euros in 1998 to 25,847 euros in 2001.

For many years, beer has accumulated the mainstream idea that beer is typically consumed in the party-type scenes. It has also created a popular thinking that young men that drink beer are manly, wild, girl-loving, partying individuals. Recently, however, it has seemed as though beer companies have begun to stray away from that way of thinking and have begun forming a new ideology. That being, that beer is an alcoholic beverage that can bring people together to have a good time. Guinness has taken this way of thinking and pushed it even further. With this ad, Guinness wants to show that men who drink beer can still be manly, but also sensitive, sympathetic and supportive at the same time. They show these qualities through the actions of the men playing the basketball game.
