ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
Mississippi outlawed alcohol in 1907 and, in 1966, became the last state to repeal prohibition. Fast forward 104 years and two fine gents, Austin Evans and Richard Patrick, fired up the state’s first legal still. Co-founders of Cathead Vodka, Cathead Distillery, and Bottle Tree Beverage Company, Richard and Austin will share about their experience with launching a new brand in the highly competitive vodka market. We’ll learn how they used marketing and advertising to structure their brand launch & their strategy to become known in the Vodka world.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM: The 2010 Census numbers are in and the findings are startling and profound. One in three Americans is not White. Four states have “minority majority” populations. Young people increasingly are opting not to get married. Asians have the highest household income of any race or ethnicity. Rural communities are losing population fast. Now, more than ever, it’s imperative that you understand the changing demographics of the communities and groups you serve. How can you best serve a local community or organization if you don’t know what your community looks like today? This presentation will focus on why changing demographics and diversity are business opportunities and how these changes affect your business today and tomorrow.
