Andreas W. Herb ran a disco on the side as a bank trainee and then built up a million-dollar drinks business with the MBG Group. With brands such as Salitos, Effect and 9 Mile Vodka, he is shaking up the market from Paderborn - and has become a social media star himself in the process. The CEO explains in the OMR Podcast how Andreas Herb produces his content, why he does not believe in the long-term success of creator brands for iced tea or energy drinks - and why he now even offers caviar with the MBG Group.
