🥃 Hercules Mulligan Co. is scaling nationwide, and you're invited to be part of its success (and history)... https://forceb.co/3XZdBfO 📖 Inspired by his love for history, here's how serial entrepreneur Steve Luttmann ideated the brand that's leading the revolution of ready-to-serve cocktails: 💬 "I’m a history fan, especially of the colonial period, and discovered Hercules Mulligan when reading Ron Chernow’s 'Hamilton' in 2012. I subsequently found an out-of-print biography about Hercules Mulligan published in 1937, and that’s how I became motivated to create the brand. The story is very inspiring: An Irish immigrant who ran a tailor shop in Lower Manhattan during the British Occupation, Mulligan became a spy for General George Washington and his close friend Alexander Hamilton. The charismatic Mulligan served drinks to his patrons at his tailor shop, which became a popular hangout for British officers. After a few drinks, the British officers would get a bit loose and spill their secrets, which Mulligan passed on to Washington and Hamilton. These secrets saved Washington’s life on two occasions, and saved the French Naval Armada from decimation off the coast of Rhode Island. In other words, without Mulligan, and of course his drinks, the Americans probably would not have won the Revolutionary War. This was the inspiration for Hercules Mulligan Co. 'Rum + Rye.'"

💭 The jobs report is out and it's a mixed bag. Here's some intel from our team about what we're seeing... 💡 What we're seeing in the booming consumer economy is that many employers are hiring fractional employees and consultants — particularly in creative roles but also at the C-suite as some candidates wish to work for growth brands that cannot afford them in full-time roles. What hiring trends are you observing? More on the latest jobs report here: https://forceb.co/3RYzdEW #JobMarket #jobs #JobsReport #careers #hiring

🛒 📈 👀 How would you describe your sales team in one word? (And it can be hyphenated) ...Data-driven? Relationship-based? Savvy? We checked in with ForceBrands' Director of Client Strategy Annette Kim to discover trends she's observing in the sales space. How are today's consumer companies approaching hiring sales talent? How has sales changed? "In the consumer industry, the shift from relationship-based to data-driven sales marks a new era. More than ever, sales teams now leverage analytics to navigate market complexities, optimize customer engagement, and drive sustainable growth. As a result, companies are seeking candidates who can dissect extensive datasets, work collaboratively with marketing and finance teams, and possess a deep understanding of consumer behavior and the market from a shopper and trade lens." —Annette Kim Have a question for our team?
