This! “You wouldn’t cut your sales team if you’re trying to grow sales—so why cut PR? PR is essential for building awareness and reputation, both critical for converting customers throughout the sales funnel.”

“Marketing alone will not fix the problem,” says Wangbickler. “It’s a Band-Aid over a gaping wound. We need to change the culture of wine, so it’s not elitist and it’s not exclusive, and we have to embrace honesty and openness about our product. It’s about — and I realize this word has been overused — authenticity.”

We're bullish on TikTok. Please let me know if you'd like to talk about how TikTok can work for your winery or distillery. #winemarketing #beveragemarketing #tiktok #winepr

It's been a minute since we last posted to the blog. A few projects kept us busy. When I have a moment to think, I often find myself asking, ' Why? ' Why do some companies do things one way and their competitors another? But this week, my question was, "Why don't more wineries and distilleries leverage digital advertising more?" https://lnkd.in/gGun6SQn

June is a significant month for raising awareness about critical issues. As we recognize Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and celebrate Pride Month (last week's post), it's an ideal time to spotlight the unique challenges and strengths that neurodivergent individuals bring to the table. At Balzac Communications & Marketing and Appellation Academy, we believe in fostering an inclusive environment where every individual's unique traits are seen as assets, not obstacles. https://lnkd.in/gQwzg7SS
