Premium Wine Channel
Problem
A premium wine channel is needed to house all the different mediums that reach different groups of people. Including, a website, email newsletter, and style guide.
Solution
Create a responsive website to display current articles, the ability to archive past articles, contains press kits, and event promotions that wine retailers would be interested in. The website also needs its own design system and style guide that's easily recognizable to its viewers.

Goals, scope, and users: who are they and what are their problems?

They can create consumer-engaging wine programs (including but not limited to: email, personal recommendations, guided trips to wine regions, sponsored tastings). Our commitment to Jay comes through our tonality, demonstrating the same level of respect and partnership he shares with his most valued Clients.
