Case Leveraging International Expertise for Global Expansion

Company Profile

BrewExample of Belgium has long been a shining beacon in the world of craft beer. Known for its rich flavors that echo Belgium’s rich brewing history, the brewery has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike.

The Vision

Spotting an opportunity in the growing craft beer culture of North America, BrewExample aimed to venture beyond its Belgian borders. However, entering a new market meant understanding intricate consumer behaviors, market dynamics, and, most importantly, the local beer landscape.

Turning to International Business Analysts

To bridge this knowledge gap, BrewExample turned to AIESEC’s Global Talent program. They hired a young international business analyst who brought a fresh, outside perspective combined with astute business acumen.

This analyst provided:

  • Market Analysis: Comprehensive research into the North American craft beer industry, highlighting potential challenges, opportunities, and growth areas.
  • Consumer Behavior Insights: Deep dives into consumer preferences, drinking habits, and spending behaviors. This helped BrewExample tailor their offerings to match the tastes and expectations of the North American audience.
  • Competitive Benchmarking: A detailed study of local breweries’ strengths, unique selling points, and market strategies. This allowed BrewExample to position themselves uniquely and avoid direct clashes with established players.
  • Strategic Recommendations: Based on their findings, the analysts suggested potential partnerships, marketing strategies, and product modifications to ensure BrewExample’ smooth entry and growth in the North American market.

A Triumph in International Strategy

Empowered by the actionable insights from the international business analyst, BrewExample developed a tailored approach to their North American expansion. They introduced special editions of their beers, resonating with local preferences, and even collaborated with North American breweries for co-branded limited releases.

The outcome was a resounding success. BrewExample of Belgium didn’t just introduce their beer to North America; they became a recognized and respected name in the craft beer community there.
