Dodie Wilson launched Dodie’s Beer in Wine in 2021 so she could share her passion for hard to source wines from smaller growers. Her selections reflect a keen nose for hidden treasures with a focus on women owned vineyards and local brewers. Next door to her daughter Rebecca Masson’s bakery, Fluff Bake Bar, in the Heights neighborhood in Houston her no nonsense approach complements her daughter’s wildly popular baked goods next door. AT SMN we work with them to secure media, engage the neighborhood and lead social media management and content creation efforts. Description goes here

In 2022, the team at El Segundo Brewing hired Say My Name to helm the launch of their sub brand Broken Skull’s new lager at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth in conjunction with Wrestlemania. Broken Skull is a partnership between El Segundo’s founder Rob Croxall and wrestling icon and beer lover Stone Cold Steve Austin. Our team created a campaign in the Dallas Fort Worth area to attract media and influencers to the event that included an invite package with beer, branded gear, and a Steve Austin bobblehead. We connected with national media, securing a hit in the New York Times among many others about the lager launch. On-site we worked with the El Segundo team to organize the well-attended media and influencer meet and greet with Steve before the event and ultimately surpassed expectations for media coverage and influencer shares. SMN has been retained for the brand’s next event in California.

Award-winning Meanwhile Brewing is the passion project of Will Jaquiss who came to Texas from Portland to Texas to build Meanwhile Brewing Co. from the ground up. He hired Say My Name to lead the PR charge for the launch and subsequent promotion of the brand. Our team teased out the stories, focusing on beer and the “all day” vibe of the place. Open from the morning for coffee and breakfast tacos and throughout the day until live music and tons of programming all week long. Their beer, design, and general approachability immediately struck a chord with media and influencers in Austin as well as regionally and nationally. The result so far is hundreds of stories with millions of impressions and comprehensive coverage for Meanwhile across multiple media and influencer platforms

San Antonio-based Local Coffee selected Cultivate PR to launch their first cafe in the Austin market, a city booming with independently-owned cafes. Re-branded as Merit – to allow for authentic market expansion and to further align with the company’s roasting facility, Merit Roasting Co., Cultivate had to introduce the concept to consumers while simultaneously educating them on the quality and success of Local Coffee.

Texas Keeper Cider is one of the region’s premier cidermakers with innovative techniques and seasonal releases that reflect an adventurous approach to the craft. Say My Name was hired to promote the brand’s offering to media, “tapping” into the cidermaking process, the releases offerings, how they pair with food, and happenings at the cidery. We created content for social and managed Instagram and initiated Pinterest for their subscription service entitled The Good Cider Club. Since being with Texas Keeper our team has secured two broadcast segments and coverage across multiple local and regional outlets including the Austin America Statesman, Austin Chronicle, Culture Map eater, and Tribeza among many others.
