BB is also increasing local marketing media, especially for Dogfish Head. Read national TV and digital display ad spend information, via iSpot and Adbeat, here. According to Kantar, BB also utilizes OOH, print, radio, experiential, sponsorship, earned media and social media. Keep in mind that national TV spend is dropping, likely in favor of other (cough, digital, cough) channels designed to reach younger (Gen-Z and millennial) drinkers. Spend oen spikes during the summer (Q2-Q3), so sellers should reach out early next year.

Boston Beer's CMO role has been vacant since Jon Potter left last July.
