EGC Group Celebrates 4th Anniversary of Craft Beverage Division

MELVILLE, NEW YORK — EGC Group is proud to be celebrating the fourth anniversary of their Craft Beverage Division during American Craft Beer Week. Led by Jim McCune, Executive Director, Craft Beverage Division, the ever-growing team of beverage marketing experts at the agency continues to successfully offer the following services to beverage clientele: strategic planning, branding, package design, digital marketing (SEO, inbound, PPC), web development, social media and public relations.

“After four successful years of this new division, we are proud to be standing so tall in such a saturated space,” said Nicole Larrauri, President of EGC Group. “The Craft Beverage Division not only continues to grow exponentially, but is running overwhelmingly successful programs for clients.”

“All the credit goes to the beverage team’s collective talent, creativity and ability to stay a step ahead of beverage industry trends in order to develop unique branding, packaging, and innovative marketing campaigns for our beverage clients,” added Ernie Canadeo, Founder and CEO of EGC Group. “We’ve proven that we have our finger on the pulse of the trends that influence consumer behavior and overall movement in this fast-growing segment.”

EGC’s Craft Beverage Division works with clients in the craft beer industry as well as non-alcoholic specialty beverages. The team has been at the forefront of many projects that revolve around package design, rebranding and overall digital marketing efforts.

Some work highlights include:

  • Blue Point Brewing: Hoptical Illusion IPA 10th Anniversary Package
  • Eurovita: 3 Water Package
  • Captain Lawrence’s Captain’s Reserve: Palate Shifter Imperial IPA Package
  • Hopsteiner: Website redesign

Two years ago, the Melville-based agency celebrated it’s 30th anniversary very fittingly with it’s own custom craft beer, EGC 1985 IPA, brewed with by client Crooked Ladder Brewing Company and designed by McCune.

“Craft beer is one of America’s fastest growing consumer products which presents a major competitive challenge,” said McCune. “We’re helping breweries, and brewing-related clients, across the country achieve new growth and exposure in this constantly-changing industry. We understand that traditional push marketing doesn’t work for the craft beverage consumer, so we’ve pioneered innovative ways to connect with them. Beer quality, strategic discipline, and creative marketing will define the winners from here.”
