Business Growth - How to Scale Business, Hire Staff and More - Joel Hauer Liquor Loot
Joel Hauer
CEO and Founder of Liquor Loot, a leading alcohol subscription brand
In this episode we talk to Joel Hauer, the Founder and CEO of Liquor Loot.
Launched in 2016, Liquor Loot is the home of alcohol subscription services, Whisky Loot & Gin Loot, delivering three premium and hand-selected whisky and gin tasters from around the world each month. Designed to take monthly subscribers on a journey from novice to connoisseur, Liquor Loot helps Aussies find their favourite spirit in a fun and safe environment.
After leaving the advertising world to create his own digital agency, Joel helped navigate the digital world for businesses of all shapes and sizes. This background in digital marketing and a passion for whisky and gin made the perfect match for building Liquor Loot.
Joel’s goal is for Liquor Loot to gently guide subscribers on a tasting journey through the beautiful and varied world of whisky and gin in the comfort of their own homes every month. His ambition is to make everyone as passionate about whisky and gin as he is. It’s a big ask. But he is confident that Liquor Loot can help you love whiskey and gin every bit as much as him.
