Gold Award

Wine Market Council – B2B Social Media Content
Web-Based Production | Social Media | 202c. Social Content Campaign

The Wine Market Council performs needed research for the wine industry on consumer buying patterns, attitudes, and how and why wine is consumed. They require a membership and charge membership fees to fund the research. A dual message strategy was developed to bring attention to the benefit of being a Wine Market Council. Half of the posts are statistics that highlight key data points uncovered in recent studies. You could log in to the portal to read more if you were a member. The second half of the posts is a campaign that illustrates consumer attitudes toward wine because, often, an industry can become myopic and not look at things from a consumer standpoint. It is hoped that wineries will see how to market and sell more of their wine. The industry has warmly received both executions of this campaign.
