Murow Development Consultants’ Post

It's Fieldays week! If you can squeeze in the time, then I encourage you all to visit. I have a deep connection (past Board member, Innovations judge - and more...). But regardless of the past, I get such a kick out visiting each year. First, seeing this years' innovations - the gift that keeps growing (puns always intended). Clever people and technology adding value to NZInc. As a patent attorney it is particularly gratifying to see the commercial version of what you first came across as a raw concept, and as an IP strategist, it is such a pleasure to see how inventors and companies position themselves. Next, I am reminded how we are all interconnected in the Agritech space and how it underpins NZ's economic fabric. We all depend upon and support each other. Last - mussel fritters! Need I say more... See you there.

As someone who was part of the original 1664 Blanc launch team in the early 2000s I had to share this phenomenal piece of brand activation. Kudos to Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company 👏👏👏 🚀 My No 1 Golden Rule of Marketing: Invest at the point of purchase for maximum ROI. You get a huge sampling opportunity to recruit new consumers and drive sales but most importantly you create brand advocates who keep selling for you long after the activation ends. 💡💰 #SuperbWork #BrandActivation #MarketingStrategy Remember, it’s not just about the visibility of the product—it’s about the lasting impact you create 🙌

🍻 Cheers to Growth! Mitchells & Butlers Sees 5.7% Sales Uptick 🎉 I'm excited to share the fantastic news that Mitchells & Butlers, the famed pub and restaurant group, has experienced a commendable 5.7% increase in year-to-date sales, compared to the same period last year. This growth spans across all its beloved brands, including All Bar One, Harvester, and Toby Carvery. While Q3's like-for-like sales growth of 3.4% was slightly softer due to Easter and weather-related challenges, the overall performance remains strong with food and drink sales shaping up impressively. In addition to sales growth, the company has made substantial strides with 139 conversions and remodels, six new sites, and energy-saving initiatives.. This proactive approach has positioned Mitchells & Butlers to continue capitalising on opportunities in the market. 🌍✨ #HospitalityIndustry #SalesGrowth #MitchellsandButlers
