Is there one in your portfolio now that you would highlight as you think has been exemplary in building its affinity with consumers, brand love, if you will? Is there one you would draw out and why?

Sofia ColucciGUEST
Yeah, I think there's I can probably give an example from the US and even Canada, depending on time.

Sofia ColucciGUEST
So, look, there we definitely have industry headwinds in the beer category, but we're still seeing so much brand love and in particular for Coors Banquet.

Sofia ColucciGUEST
And what we've really been leaning into is what makes this brand so distinct and really authentically what it has stood for for the last 150 years.

Sofia ColucciGUEST
It's grown the last five consecutive years and 16 straight quarters of share growth.

Sofia ColucciGUEST
And so, like I mentioned, it's 150 years old, but what consumers love about it, it's authenticity and it's loved by poor drinkers who've been reaching for this brand for decades.

So, Sophia, whether someone's new, starting out in brand building or seasoned, how do you measure brand love, regardless of sectors and categories, to help folks have that conversation with other stakeholders who might not be fluent in brand?

Jim StengelHOST
So is there anything different about your organization since when you joined to be able to do that kind of work, which I do think is how you need to think about building brands today?

Sofia ColucciGUEST
Look, like we've been doing this kind of work now, frankly, since MSJ joined more reactive in culture work, like, you know, moving beyond ads to acts.

Sofia ColucciGUEST
I think where we've continued to evolve is to make sure that there's the right level of discipline and also ensuring that what we do feels right for the brands that are participating in it.

Sofia ColucciGUEST
And so there is no point in doing that kind of work if it's not building your brand and it doesn't have like the essence of your brand.

Sofia ColucciGUEST
And, you know, I myself, like when I think about before I was in this role, like I was leading our Miller Lite team, it was in the middle of the pandemic and we had to actually like move away from our campaign because it didn't work anymore at that time.

Sofia ColucciGUEST
It was like, it was, the campaign was the original social media, which was essentially put down your phone, get out to the real world and socialize with people, which like- It wasn't really something people could do during the pandemic.
