  14. “ Leaving the brewery we were handed taxi vouchers as well as some lovely parting gifts from Molson – beer glasses and 1GB thumb drives loaded with promo materials, logos and videos. I always disclose on my site that, for events and promotions like these, I maintain the full editorial right to express my honest opinion (did I like it, did I have a good time etc.) and I have to say that Molson did this event right . Truthfully I’m more inclined to drink Molson now than I ever was before after meeting such kind and knowledgeable folks as Kerry Scarsbrook and Gord Rickard.” Building Relationships
  15. “ All in all, I was immensely impressed by not only the event, but my overall opinion of Molson has changed quite a bit. Of course, they were generous hosts, but even Geoff Molson, the great-great-great-great-grandson of founder John Molson, was there to give us a great history of the brewery in Vancouver.” Building Relationships
  16. Listening and Learning “I’m not very clear what Molson was aiming to achieve.  By all means look at bloggers as important influencers, where that is really the case.  But having a blogger outreach initiative purely for the sake of it doesn’t seem like good return on investment.” 
  17. “ Brew 2.0 was one of the best examples of blogger outreach I’ve experienced for one simple reason: it was mostly the company doing the outreach!… It’s so refreshing to see Adam and Tonia actively participating in the community. We’re a friendly bunch (even when we’re critical). It’s much smarter and safer for the Molson’s PR team to learn how to engage in this space with us first before branching out . ” Listening and Learning
  18. Community Building
    • Building community by participating directly through partnerships and sponsorships
      • WordCampWhistler, PodCampToronto, #Twestival
  19. #PodCampToronto “ My single most gratifying moment, and one that to me summed up a combination of both the business side, the social media, the gathering itself, was the result of a challenge I threw out to a rep from Molson's via Twitter about a week ago…..I threw out the challenge of having a cold bottle of Molson Stock Ale waiting when I got to the party. Thinking that, at best, it would be the prompt for some ribbing and casual conversation upon getting there (and quite honestly not even knowing if Molson Stock Ale was still being bottled) imagine my surprise when @molsonferg went behind the bar and pulled out the Stock Ale for myself and a couple of new acquaintances - those of us over 35 remember the original "Blue" with nostalgic reverence. So cheers to Molson for doing up the event right.”
  20. Engagement
    • Listening for questions, comments, suggestions
      • Simple conversations can lead to meaningful brand experiences
  21. Engagement Results “ Through a contact (made on Twitter ) at Molson Brewing in Canada I was sent about 20 labels and neck-bands for Molson Export, a beer I truly enjoyed when I had it, but cannot get here in Vegas. I had tossed around the idea of decoupaging Molson labels on this bass for years, but through a move or two I had lost my collection. This fresh new batch of labels was just the spark I needed! Here is a picture set from my refinishing project. Enjoy!”
