What happens when you mix community-driven strategy, creative agility, and a cold beer? You get Dana Hork. 🍻

In this episode of Genuin Connections, host Matt Wurst sits down with Dana Hork, founder and CEO of Beers with Friends, to talk about building brands that actually connect. From leading social at Walmart to launching a new kind of creative agency, Dana has consistently delivered big ideas that are both remarkable and makeable.

They dive into:

  • Why brands must build with their communities, not just for them

  • How decentralized storytelling empowers employees and scales authenticity

  • The “Brand in a Can” framework for earning trust

  • What it really takes to innovate inside large organizations

  • Turning insights into action through agile, sprint-based creative work

With beer puns, marketing wisdom, and honest reflections, this conversation is a must-listen for marketers looking to move fast, stay real, and build brands people actually care about.

🎧 Cheers to great work, real impact, and genuine connection.
