A few years back, I was working at a coffee roaster doing education…which meant I did account management, inside sales, events, and a whole bunch of other things. One of the “other things” I was involved in, was communicating to our current clients about the new coffees that we were about to launch. Sounds simple, right? Wrong!

Once, I remember, we received a coffee early in the summer and didn't release it till we were well into the fall.

It's all about serving the other, meaning the humans your brand serves! But how?
