Tequila is among the fastest growing and most vibrant categories, with endorsements from famous faces pervading the space.

It takes a keen eye, love of the spirit, guts and an equally bold Co-Founder to find a gap in the market just as Jack Vereker has with El Rayo Tequila.

The brand has sprung into life to a stale space - Jack joins us to share just how he’s achieved this, how he’s learned to respect failure, and why he once thought marketing was ‘a joke’...

This episode covers

  • Influencer marketing in the tequila space, and Jack’s dream celeb ambassador
  • El Rayo’s focus on mixing as a differentiator
  • How the brand grew from Jack and his Co-Founder’s humble beginnings as tequila lovers
  • Jack’s respect for failure, and the value in it
  • Managing the dynamic of childhood friendship with his Co-Founder
