What a week it’s been! This was our 4th year working with on their Meister Hunter global final - every year we try to get the finalists out of their comfort zone and challenge them with something fun & useful.
This year, the competitors were faced with three main challenges:
- The Concept & Video Challenge -
Each competitor was challenged to think about look and feel for a venue they would love to open in London. Based on that, they were challenged to create a script and a mood board for a video which would best showcase their ideas. For this challenge we’ve worked with Niall Webster of - each competitor had only 45 minutes of filming time in a studio, and the videos were to be displayed as part of their final presentation. The results were stunning - we’ll be sharing all of the videos over the upcoming weeks.
- The Menu challenge -
This year, we asked the competitors to create a Manifest Highball & a Jagermeister shot with recipes sent ahead of time. This allowed us to create and can their highballs, and for the shots to be batched and served on the night of the final.
Additionally, each competitor had to make a drink with one ingredient from the Mystery Box which was unveiled on the first day of the final.
- Business Angle -
We wanted the financial aspect to be equally as important as the creativity this year - of course this is not the easiest thing to translate in a competition so we’ve teamed up with the spreadsheet master Elliot Ball (), who held a Business Angle workshop for our finalist and challenged them to create a spreadsheet for their drinks.
Thanks to all finalists, & the whole Jägermeister team - it was a good one this year!
And of course huge congrats to , .bastinec & .szuchnik for taking the first three spots!
