About today’s session:
With a changing consumer demographic and preferences, distributor consolidation, and brand explosion, we can all agree the wine business is more competitive today than ever before. The key to success in this day and age is brand pull, recall, strength, notoriety, recognition → brand awareness. A brand refresh strategy requires less risk than a total rebranding, and it can still get you the results you need to remain competitive. By making subtle changes to your positioning, messaging, and how you communicate, you can:
Protect the integrity of your brand
Expand your reach to new customers
Ensure your company image keeps up with the changing marketplace.

Using case studies and data, they will share some of the most current and successful tactics for communicating your brand story to reach your target audience.
