During the spring of 2021, Fitzgerald Bros Beverages was in the second year of experiencing unprecedented growth and looking to add several positions to its existing team. In addition to this, the impact from the COVID pandemic had taken its toll on the organization as well, creating both short-term vacancies along with never seen before turnover in a few critical customer service positions. The Company was heading into its busy summer selling season and quickly recognized that we needed to do something different than past recruitment practices. The Company retained the services of Mannix Marketing to address the multiple personnel openings. The Mannix team came to our facility, met with our team, learned about our business, our products, and our personnel needs, and quickly put together a comprehensive 360-degree multi-media recruitment campaign. Almost immediately, the Company was receiving hundreds of applicants for each of the open positions. The Company has now filled almost all of its open positions and continues to use the recruitment campaign for targeted position openings for the new jobs created from its ongoing growth. Fitzgerald Bros Beverages is appreciative of the Mannix’s team’s professionalism, responsiveness, and marketing knowledge that helped solve the Company’s personnel challenges during a very challenging time. Since this initial purpose, the Company has expanded its relationship with Mannix Marketing to assist with a variety of other marketing solutions.
