Analytics
Engaging and expanding Bonterra’s core of organic wine drinkers is at the core of our content creation strategy. From tasting notes, to DIY projects to recipe pairings, we create relevant content month over month that is deployed across owned channels, web email and point of purchase marketing efforts.
Launching Canned Wine
We created a content series including a teaser in Instagram stories, paying off with a collection announcement launch post across all channels followed by a series of canned seasonal wine occasions—self care, dockside and glamping.
The campaign drove 15% engagement growth, 310% impressions growth and 16% follower growth with social channels. Young Red sold out in 17 days.
Social Seeding
As a surprise-and-delight 10 influencers who have been authentic fans of the brand received eco-friendly, furoshiki wrapped bundles of the new can product line for personal trial (and a little social sharing).
Pivoting in Pandemic
Taking note of the huge consumer shift to online wine shopping due to the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, R\West quickly pivoted and took action. Within 24 hours, the team launched a 1-cent shipping campaign on 6+ bottles, incentivizing fans to stock up on their favorite Bonterra wines. Utilizing a mix of marketing technology, the team tracked the consumers’ journeys and provided crucial data needed to make in-real time adjustments to the campaign.
