Following a competitive pitch process, new independent agency Milk & Honey United, led by industry heavyweights Steve Jackson and Andy DiLallo, have made a fast start being appointed to the Lion Nathan roster to lead the James Squire business.
The announcement comes after Lion ran a pitch process to identify the best agency to support the James Squire brand and help realise its growth ambitions, through innovative and creative brand building campaigns.
Coming off the back of its inaugural global call-for-entries campaign for The One Show, this was Milk & Honey’s first major pitch and makes Lion a treasured founding client for the new creatively independent venture.

It all started with a simple, if crazy, idea: launch a brewery and release 24 unique beers in 24 weeks. Rather than drip-feed their pale ales and craft lagers into the world, Pete Gillespie and Garage Project co-founders Ian Gillespie (Pete’s brother) and Jos Ruffell would instead unleash a wave of creative brewing upon their hometown of Wellington. This was back in 2011, when the New Zealand capital didn’t have a single craft-beer brewery.

(MENAFN - The Conversation) The actions of the Myanmar military in arresting members of the government in dawn raids on February 1, the day parliament was set to convene, have been met with shock and dismay both within the country and around the world.

There are several plausible explanations, but one that has not received enough attention is the desire of the military to protect its wealth and business interests in Myanmar.
