Community as a growth engine
A key success factor for Giesinger Bräu was its close connection to its own community. Marx turned to crowdfunding early on and proved that enthusiasm and identification can be just as valuable as traditional capital.
To this day, the brand stands for authenticity, regionality and close proximity to its supporters - an approach that has made Giesinger Bräu known far beyond Munich.
