Will answers these questions:

1)  What do you see as being the core objectives and supporting activities that Pabst Brewing plays in servicing the national accounts in your portfolio? How do you establish yourself as a trusted and valued partner?
2) How you manage SEO for the accounts in your portfolio? What are the imperatives you are focusing on to win search on the digital shelf and do you see changes occurring in how alcohol brands are able to engage consumers through your retail network?
3) Would you please break down for our audience what Group Buying is all about and is this something that might work here in the USA and even in the alcohol category? How might this work?
4) You deal with some boutique brands with limited HH penetration. For traditional food & beverage goods, sampling is an effective trial mechanism. How do you see this being extended from alcohol brands like the ones in the Pabst portfolio?
5) Amazon has been extremely successful in building consumables business through its subscription solution. Can this work for alcohol? How?
6) Please bring out your crystal ball and share with us your thoughts on where Amazon is next going with frictionless and predictive commerce? How can Pabst contribute to this journey?
7) How has the pandemic changed your mix of business on vs off premise at the brand level & overall? How are you responding to this?
8) What’s next for eCommerce at Pabst?
