Recently I had the opportunity of speaking to the American Marketing Association student group at Saint Joseph’s University.  I did about an hour presentation about how we started the company from scratch, the steps we took to form the company, the design of the logo and site, how we used social media to market and build traffic to the site without having to spend money on traditional advertising… basically a summary of everything we’ve gone through up to our current point.

And I have to say… it was really fun.  The students seemed to enjoy it and they got a taste of what an entrepreneur is looking for when dealing with marketing, and all the work that goes into building a business from the ground up.  We even got a couple of interns out of it.  I think it was a great learning experience for both the students and myself and I can’t wait to do it again.

If you’re interested in having Drink Philly come present at your school, contact us at info@drinkphilly.com.

Thanks SJU for making it such a great first experience.

Cheers,

If you haven’t seen our Facebook page by now, you may not know about the Drink Philly art we have in our photo section.  This is a place where we take famous works of art, pictures of celebrities, and anyone else you can think of – and put a beer bottle in that person’s or figure’s hands.

We’ve made quite a few of our own so far but we welcome you all to make your own and submit them.  We’ve gotten a few user submitted entries but we’d love to get more.  Give it a try, I guarantee it becomes addicting and before you know it you’ll think… “ya know, I’ll bet  Darth Vader could use a beer in his hands in this picture.”

Don’t have the technical ability to make your own?  Tell us who you would like to see with a beer in their hands and we’ll do our best to make one for you.  Email us at info@drinkphilly.com

Here’s what we have so far:
