Celebrate the behavior you want to see more of it.
It seems like the obvious thing to do whether you're building a company or raising a child, yet most of the brands either ignore it or immediately take it to a transaction situation. "I pay you this much, and you do this for me."
Biite took a different route on this one. We created the Bell Awards.
When we saw Kai spontaneously professing his love for Taco Bell on WSL, we decided to... celebrate it — no strings attached, nor even dreaming about the possibility he would create an entire episode about us, entirely organically. So much so, if you check on Kai's Instagram, you will see it doesn't say "sponsored post" - because it wasn't.

As a surfer, this one hit differently. I have tried to bring brands into the surfing culture many times. Little did I know it would happen the other way around.
Live Más Kai!

Second venue in one location opened last month , on the same street 🚀
Footfall, is one of the most important elements when selecting location of your business.
Questions to ask yourself:
☑️ Will you naturally generate customers based on your location?
☑️ What can you do different to stand out from the other bars and restaurants within walking distance from your location?
☑️ How can those bars and restaurants compliment what you offer and your menu?
We have partnered with others bars within a stone throw away. Why? Because they offer something we can’t.
We don’t do kitchens, or food. The overheads are too expensive and within this market it’s quite risky. We partner with other local business owners close by to provide our customers top quality food while they’re enjoying the best drinks on the street.
This helps us have sell out Bottomless brunches, without having to worry about the food!
How do we do this? Join our group in the bio!

In July we opened the doors to our latest edition to Cleethorpes 🚀
Our second venue, and this time a Speakeasy (hidden bar) named InsideOUT. The rules are simple,
1. Find us (we have a clothes shop front)
2. Press the intercom and answer the riddle
3. Right or wrong, welcome to the hidden bar-drobe.
We‘ve brought flight club to Cleethorpes, shuffle board and much more! 🎯
Really proud of this one, and situated only two doors away from our award winning Cocktail Bar, complimenting each other perfectly.
If you’re in the cleethorpes area and would like a venue for your Christmas party, drop us an email 😀

Cocktail competitions were something Lush Life Productions avoided for years. Our ethos is grounded in lifting up the entire community versus individuals, and the idea placing one person over the rest just didn't sit right with me. So, we sat on the sidelines and watched the same small, homogenous group win competition after competition.
One day, a colleague and friend was in distress. The agency she hired to manage the US portion of a cocktail competition dropped out 2 weeks before the launch. I could hear the panic in this otherwise organized and professional voice, and I couldn't say no.
But, before we got to writing rules and making forms, I committed to rethinking how competitions worked and how we could do better. We talked to people who regularly competed and those who had never (but probably should). A few themes emerged: photo/video submissions were intimidating to people who don't have access to professional equipment, the cost of competing is high and asks competitors to travel on their own dime, and the most pronounced reason - people like me never win, so why should I spend the time trying.
Those insights were enough to get us started, and honestly, provided the motivation for us to get into the work. The inequities in the hospitality industry are everywhere, but they were so pronounced in the competition space. I knew that if we got involved, we could help turn the tides on this issue for our projects, and that our work would likely be copied by others.
That first competition went so well (despite our venue literally burning down the night before the event - that's a different story for a different day). We had finalists come in from all over with different backgrounds, genders, and races. The cocktails were all incredible, and I give kudos to the judges who selected our top 2 who went on to the global finals (that they also won!). I couldn't have picked between them, but I was so excited to see two femme, queer bodies take first and second place - something that rarely happened back in 2015.
Now, we've hosted and managed a dozen competitions, and I couldn't be more proud of the work we've done. Yesterday, PDXCW got to co-host the Nikka Perfect Serve Finals, and the amazing Evan Flynn from Denver's Death & Co. outpost took the win. This non-traditional competition focused on the bartender as host and challenged our competitors to step outside of their comfort zone and provide hospitality to some of the wildest guests Tracie Franklin, Camper English, and Glendon Hartley could imagine. It was so refreshing to see a competition that focused on the bartender's most important skill, hospitality. Michelle Flores and her whole team did an impeccable job, and I'm excited to see this competition grow in the coming years!
Seven years later, and I can't wait for our next competition (see you at the Elit's global finals Tyler Rothenberg, MBA!), and I seldom turn down a brand that's excited to thoughtfully execute this kind of program.

Hope everyone is having a good week x
The magic of macro to micro thinking:
Exhibit 1 bellow: the new ad for Heinken by LePub => finding a unique behavior relevant to hardcore football fans => superstition => something you did when your team scored => called wife => repeat calling wife to ensure future wins => invite others to call wife for more luck
Exhibit 2 in the first comment: the 2023 Cannes Lions award winning Tide ad by Saatchi & Saatchi (We Are Saatchi) => finding a unique behavior relevant to hardcore football fans => superstition => something you did when your team won => lucky jersey => can’t wash jersey to keep the luck inside => repeat wearing lucky stinking dirty jersey
Same starting point. Different brand narrative. Different thinking destination. One of many destinations. Lovely to see it in action.
Every macro observation is just the beginning of a magical journey to a unique micro observation which leads to a different savvy insight. KEEP DIGGING! 😊
