Marketing Case Studies
American Whiskey Convention
The American Whiskey Convention is the largest gathering of all American whiskey makers in North America. This annual event is attended by some of the biggest names in the bourbon and whiskey world, as well as small independent distillers alike.
Founded by CEO Laura Fields to promote and raise awareness of American bourbon and whiskey heritage while pursuing the larger mission of helping American grain farmers who provide the ingredients to whiskey makers all over the country.
The Challenge
AWC was having trouble with selling tickets and needed help to improve the attendance for their annual event. After in-depth research, we determined that this was because they lacked a cohesive digital marketing strategy to build up anticipation and enthusiasm for their upcoming event.
The Solution
Content Marketing
We created a comprehensive content calendar for 3 months leading up to the event. The content is designed to be attractive and engaging to the target demographic. Our aim was to educate the audience and build anticipation to the event. We took advantage of relevant and timely holidays and celebrations to create fun and engaging contests and giveaways.
Social Media Management
We implemented an intensive engagement strategy across all platforms. Our strategy consists of timely responses to any comments or messages and giving an active voice to the brand, as well as active daily outreach to targeted demographics. We also encouraged the audience to share our posts, thus gaining additional free organic impressions.
Press relations
We helped craft the press release and successfully pitched the story to multiple online outlets including Philly Voice, Generosity, Scotchwhisky.com, and the leading podcast in the whisky enthusiast community “The Bourbon Daily”
Influencer marketing
We successfully sourced, on-boarded, and coordinated with multiple leading social media influencers, bloggers, podcasters, and brand partners in the whisky and bourbon enthusiast community to attend the event as well as help us to promote the event. In total, we were able to gain an estimated 150,000 additional impressions on this strategy.
Video Production
We put together a great video to showcase the success of the event while at the same time offer our client a great asset to advertise for next year’s event.

The Challenge
The co-founders have a great product in the fast-growing CBD market. However, they did not know how to market their products and did not have a solid brand foundation and infrastructure. Their website was barebone and basic, and they did not have the right messaging to stand out from their competition and reach the right audience.
