In this episode, Chris Maffeo spoke to Mike McGrail, host of ⁠⁠Drinks Noise Podcast⁠⁠ and Digital Marketing Controller at Whyte & Mackay.

They spoke about the importance of On-trade as a channel to build brands. They spoke about how to go from 1 bottle to 1 case by selling the first bottle with the second one in mind. They then dove into what tools to use to make that happen and discussed the mindset change that needs to happen to help bars "get rid of" bottles as fast as possible to make a new order.
