Melbourne Jerky

NEW MEMBER PROFILE 🫠 Melbourne Jerky 🥲 Melbourne Jerky produces quality, Beef Jerky products. 🐄 Michael, the owner of Melbourne Jerky, started making Beef Jerky for family and friends because he couldn't find great quality or tasting Beef Jerky that was genuine beef jerky and not processed. After an abundance of positive feedback, he was prompted to make it more than a hobby and therefore Melbourne Jerky was born. Melbourne Jerky are proud that they use superb quality meat, high in protein and don’t add preservatives or sugars to their amazing tasting products. Offering premium beef jerky, their key products include three mouthwatering flavours of Jalapeno, Texan Honey and Pizza which are all included in their popular Sampler Pack: https://lnkd.in/gmcwsPhb Very soon they will launch 'Ghostly Inferno', a spicy jerky flavour due to be released in time for Christmas and excitingly an Indigenous flavour to complement a new Kangaroo Jerky early in the new year. Melbourne Jerky's mission is to create feel-good snacks designed for good times and good health! They create quality products in the hope that people will move away from nasty snacks to a wholesale nutritional snack alternative. Michael is thinking big, with dreams to become not just a household name in Australia, but a globally recognised brand, ensuring they reach this ambitious goal using only sustainable meat and ingredient supply. Made in Australia from Australian Beef, Melbourne Jerky can currently ship to Australia, New Zealand and the United States. They retail direct to customers, and wholesale having recently added W Hotel Melbourne, in Melbourne CBD to the Melbourne Jerky family! They also are collaborating with an Aboriginal-owned beer brand, Jarrah Boy to collaboratively promote their products. On becoming a new member of Aboriginal Retail Australia, Michael says...

In September I was lucky enough to be part of an amazing cohort of indigenous business leaders as part of generation 15 completing “MURRA indigenous Business Masterclass Program. Run by Dilin Duwa Centre for Indigenous Business Leadership and Melbourne Business School It was an absolute pleasure meeting, working and building friendships that will last into the future. I look forward to watching where these phenomenal business leaders can take and grow their businesses into empires.

The theme of this year's Indigenous Business Month is "Making Our Mark". And I am hugely grateful for the opportunity to work again with Isaac Harrison to help some amazing Indigenous-owned and -led businesses to better understand brand strategy and refine their brands to really MAKE their mark in the future. I had such a great day delivering a pro bono workshop last Friday with Isaac, and my old friend David Roberts, to help Melbourne Jerky, Outback Academy, Bayside Treeworks Elizabeth Liddle and Teena from Loco for Cocoa to bring 'big brand' frameworks to their unique businesses and brands. Can't wait to continue the new friendships made, and support you guys to the next level of growth! (PS... Many thanks to Kinaway-The Victorian Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce for hosting us, and Chadd Croshaw at Bunji Management Pty Ltd for a delicious lunch!)

Yesterday some of the team got together with other Indigenous organisations to discuss all things branding and marketing. Handling cultural knowledge i.e horticulture or agricultural practice - pre colonisation is a fast evolving conversation. We are honoured to be apart the conversation and to represent our Indigenous farmers/growers.
