6. Companys Logo The bicycle is based upon the founders (Jeff Lebesch) epiphanies voyage through Europe by bike, drinking beer along the way. Shortly after that trip he made an amber ale and named it Fat Tire in honor of his trip.

15. Developing Brand Manifesto Develop a Cultural Branding: a philosophy of branding that tries to speak to tension within society.
In 2003 NBBs Holt was hired as a consultant, he immerse himself in the brewerys unique culture in order to create a BRAND MANIFESTO
16. The brand Manifesto was a 70 page document that described the brands attributes, character, cultural relevancy and potential.
Thanks to this document NBBs began a relationship with Amalgamated Inc. a young upstart advertising agency in NY.
Together NBBs creative team collaborated with Amalgamed to develop the brands cultural contributions and what should be communicated. Developing Brand Manifesto

18. Advertising objectives
19. Implementing the Advertising
20. Target Audience
21. Message Development NBB understood at the inception that the power of television could work to bolster or undermine the brand with equal efficacy
Holt unearthed a mind-set where a highly creative activity of avocation is pursued for the intrinsic value of doing it, as well as performed in a balanced manner with nature: the cultural counterpoint to the Urban Professional
The audience for NBBs commercials would likely be the professional who follows the traditional route of existing within a capitalist economy but still has artistic leanings and desires
22. Message Development Amalgamateds creative director, Jason Gaboriau, developed a series of stories of storyaboards for the commercials featuring the Tinkerer, a character who discovers an old cruiser bike that has been customized, modernized, and ultimately left for scrap
The NBB team reacted positively to the presentation with the exception of Amalgamateds suggested tag line: Follow Your Folly
Ours Is Beer. After a healthy volley of e-mail from nearly every NBB department, the creative team won out and Follow Your Folly became the campaigns tagline
23. Message Development At this stage in the process, a search for the right director for the commercials ensued: reviewing dozens of highlight reels and passing the most likely fits along to NBB.
In September 2004, members of NBB, Amalgamted, and the production company RSA out of Los Angeles met in Hotchkiss and commenced shooting over a three-day period. This led to no fewer than nine potential spots coming out of the three-day shoot
Amalgamated returned to New York to begin postproduction of the spots with NBBs input by choosing a musical bed quickly developed into the next creative challenge.
24. Message Development Quick to embrace the latent talents of their own crew, NBB allowed brewery employees to compose a reggaelike score for one of the 15-second spots-playful little film called Joust
Even as NBB decided to speak to a wider audience through a new medium, the roots-style marketing that launched the company could not be abandoned
In the end, NBBs first television-based advertising campaign-approached with a great deal of inner reflection-mirrored well the craft brewers personality.
25. Promoting Responsible Drinking Promoting beer as a pairing with food and sponsor beer dinners to educate palates and create that level of appreciation.
At all of the events, anyone pouring beer must be TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) trained which is a nationally accredited alcohol awareness program that helps servers identify and prevent someone from being over served. They canceled events that they deemed to be too focused on drinking.
The tasting room limits tasters to four short pours and focuses on education over mass consumption.
The price point precludes the kind of binge drinking associated with suitcases of beer and handle bottles.
26. Organizational Success One of three winners of Business Ethics magazines Business Ethics Awards for its dedication to environmental excellence in every part of its innovative brewing process.
an honorable mention in the Better Business Bureaus 2002 Torch Award for Outstanding Marketplace Ethics competition.
Best mid-sized brewing company of the year and best mid-sized brewmaster at the Great American Beer Festival.
In 2004, New Belgium received the Environmental Protection Agency's regional Environmental Achievement Award.
27. Employee Concerns Health and dental insurance and retirement plans.
Free lunch every other week as well as a free massage once a year.
Employees can bring their children and dogs to work.
Employees who stay with the company for five years earn an all-expenses paid trip to Belgium to study beer culture.
Employees can also earn stock in the privately held corporation, which grants them a vote in company decisions.
New Belgiums employees now own one-third of the growing brewery.
28. Social Concerns For every barrel of beer sold the prior year, NB donates $1 to philanthropic causes within their distribution territory. The donations are divided between states in proportion to their percentage of overall sales. This is their way of staying local and giving back to the communities who support and purchase NB products.
NBB also sponsors a number of events, with a special focus on those that involve human-powered sports that cause minimal damage to the natural environment. Through event sponsorships, NBB supports various environmental, social, and cycling nonprofit organizations.
In the course of one year, New Belgium can be found at anywhere from 150 to 200 festivals and events, across all fifteen western states, such as the Tour de Fat promotes the bicycle as a sustainable form of transportation with beer as part of the medium and not the message; the MS 150 Best Damn Bike Tour, a two-day, fully catered bike tour from which all proceeds went to benefit more than five thousand local people with multiple sclerosis; and the Ride the Rockies bike tour, which donated the proceeds from beer sales to local nonprofit groups.
29. Environmental Concerns New Belgium Brewing strives for cost-efficient energy-saving alternatives to conducting its business and reducing its impact on the environment.
Investing in a wind turbine, making New Belgium the first fully wind-powered brewery in the United States.
Using the solar electricity system (mixture wind and coal power) and reduce its CO2 emissions by 1,800 metric tons per year.
Using sun tubes, which provide natural daytime lighting throughout the brew house all year long.
Reducing waste through recycling and creative reuse strategies, including cardboard boxes, keg caps, office materials, and the amber glass used in bottling.
Encourages the employees to reduce air pollution by using alternative transportation. As an incentive, NBB gives its employees cruiser bikes like the one pictured on its Fat Tire Amber Ale labelafter one year of employment and encourages them to ride to work.
Participate in the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environment Design for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) pilot program (2002). From sun tubes and day lighting throughout the facility to reusing heat in the brew house, they continue to search for new ways to close loops and conserve resources.
30. NBBs Eco Care Principles To be environmental stewards
Lovingly care for the planet that sustains us.
Honor natural resources by closing the loops between waste and input.
Minimize the environmental impact of shipping our beer.
Reduce our dependence on coal-fired electricity.
Protect our precious Rocky Mountain water resources.
Focus our efforts on conservation and efficiency.
Support innovative technology.
Model joyful environmentalism through our commitment to relationships, continuous improvement, and the camaraderie and cheer of beer
31. NBBs Eco Care Efforts 1. Increased efficiencies in the brewing process
Using Steinecker's Merlin brew kettle, which can store heat and boil very quickly, allowing NBB to use very little primary energy.
2. Utilized green design throughout our building
Lighting (Using UV blocking windows, sun-tubes, and light shelves.),
HVAC (Using evaporative coolers, allowing condition its 55,000 square foot packaging hall with no compressors, using much less energy),
Materials (Using beetle kill pine wood for interior which giving value added to those fallen trees)
3. Implemented a process for treating our wastewaterReducing the load on its municipal plant.
4. On-site energy production The methane produced by process water treatment is used to fuel a combined heat and power engineor co-genwhich creates electricity and heat for the brewery. When the co-gen is running full-time, it can supply 15% of our electrical needs.
5. Wind-powered electricity since 1999 In 1999, NBB became the largest private consumer of wind-power electricity at that time and the first wind-powered brewery
32. NBBs Eco Care Efforts 6. Employ a High Involvement Culture An environment in which the full power of everyones hearts and minds are brought to bear on creating positive change. HIC is a 3-legged stool which stands on opening the books, employee ownership, and participative decision-making.
7. Sustainable Eventing
Such as: By philanthropic bike festival, Tour de Fat, celebrates bicycling as a viable form of alternative transport; by a solar-powered stage that provides sound for the day; beer is served in compostable cups; and its overall waste stream diversion rate is better than 85%.
8. Actionable Advocacy
Through donations and fund-raisers, 1% of NBBs revenue goes to environmental non-profits, through Team Wonder bike (bicycle commuter advocacy program) which have pledged to offset more than eight million car miles by riding their bikes more over the next twelve months; public speaking; and giving every employee a custom cruiser bike after one-year of employment .
9. Constant benchmarking To figure out how to track non-financial results, especially environmental goals.
10. Partnering to support innovative technology
The company Oberon has installed a small treatment plant next to NBBs own that will use our process wastewater to harvest sludge to create a high protein fish food for aqua-farms.
33. NBBs Eco Care Goals Reducing our carbon footprint by 25%*
Reducing our water usage by 10%
Reducing our landfill diversion rate from 89.5% to 95% (note: brewing by-products like spent grain and yeast are NOT included in these figures. If they were included, it would be 99%).
*As methods of carbon accounting are currently evolving, it is possible that these goals will be amended in the future

36. Answering The QuestionsQuestion # 1 Rather Than testing its television spots using focus groups , NBB instead tested these spots using insiders in the bike community and brewery friends who had a personal history and knowledge of the brand. Evaluate NBBs decision not to use focus group.
Using the bike community and brewery friends who had a personal history and knowledge of the brand can help NBB test whether these spots reflect the brand core values, history and the natural sense about the mountain local lifestyle.

42. Answering The Questions #5
43. Answering The Questions #5 In our opinion, the company can struggle because they know how to change the common opinion about folly into different meaning with unique ways. From lack of good sense; a foolish act or idea, become freeing, Its living like there is a tomorrow.
Consequently, folly becoming a main point and specific characteristic for New Belgium Brewing. So, our group think that is the right decision to use folly for their advertising and indirectly increasing brand awareness. Folly becomes one of the greatest unplanned successes for this brewery.
