When you work in digital marketing, you're used to working online. I may be biased, but Content Chemistry is ELITE regarding remote working; we thrive together virtually. 👩🏻💻 As a fully remote team, it's always great when we can come together in person and recharge (#workhardplayhard, am I right? 🍷) Missing you marketing legends already Nathan Reiche Samuel Cheong Veronika Pap Lana Reiche 🫶 but I'll see you on Zoom soon. 😉 #marketing #marketingagency #digitalmarketing #marketingagency

Wine Australia supporting AWRI - What a Load of Bulldust Part 2 Martin Cole talks about co-funding to conduct research and wants #AWRI to ‘sing for its supper’ via a competitive tender process for research. In other words, collaborate with commercial entities to conduct important research that will place Australian Wine at the forefront of innovation. Does it sound idiotic? A commercial entity gets first access to innovative research and then uses that information for their own competitive advantage.  The Australian wine producer (the Levy payer) and the Australian wine industry becomes a follower not a leader in science and innovation. Is that a waste of our levies? Sure is. Is this something akin to the scandal engulfing Price Waterhouse Cooper? Could be. Should the chair and CEO stand down? Probably. Should Julie Collins step in and fix this? Absolutely. The Australian wine industry success is underpinned by the work conducted at AWRI. Wine Australia’s campaign (via the chair and CEO) to undermine AWRI is damaging our industry. Julie Collins welcome to the Australian wine industry led by an organisation that lacks industry representation on its board and whose chair and CEO are more interested in their own agendas rather than the industry that pays their salary.

Did you know that Burgundy continues to outshine all other investment-grade wine regions? This is largely due to a combination of limited supply, exceptional quality and global demand. Top performers include Georges Roumier Bonnes Mares and Armand Rousseau Chambertin that have risen as much as 350% over the last decade.

Kentucky gets more booze Visitors than Scotland, in spite of being a much smaller population than Scotland AND having less Distilleries. Ireland's Whiskey Tourism drive ALSO outperforms Scotland. It's tiny, in comparison with Scotch. Tequila Tourism in Mexico has Books, Websites, Trains. It also has properly-funded, Government involvement. Meanwhile, in Scotland, it's a hopeless, really embarrassing state of affairs. It's all about 'the brands', Scotland doesn't individually capitalise on being the World's best Whisky Country. Many think it already does but you have to think, Scotch is drink named after a Country. It should have unique Training, a Website, Books, Apps, a Network, all funded and benefitting Scotland, not people in Hong Kong. Scotland has NOTHING as well-funded as Kentucky. When it comes to funding Scotch Whisky Tourism, Scotland doesn't. Scotch is a heavily (some say, ridiculously) Taxed, UK cashcow. It's not one that benefits Scotland properly. If you look at the Scotch Whisky Association and Visitscotland's all-over-the shop-Tourism drive, it's laughably amateur and hopelessly under-funded. Nobody is in charge. As the link below shows, its really easy to promote an Iconic Booze Tourism product. With lots of money. That's how. The Scottish Government needs a Scotch Whisky Tourism Budget and Policy, immediately. As Financial results and burgeoning world markets show, we can't just leave it up to the Producers who can (and do) make 'Whisky' anywhere, even though this would need to be the starting point. It needs to be a combined initiative for Scotland, THEN for 'The Industry'. There ALREADY are examples of Big Distillery Players coming together to improve things. There already are several joint initiatives. What's a few £million, to £multi billion Corporations? Some, the Corporations of the Richest people in the World. #ScotchWhiskyTruths #TheScottishGovernment #ScotchWhiskyAssociation #VisitScotland

This was a very pleasing and effective two days. Candour, engagement and the acceptance of more accountability and ongoing personal development was an integral part of the retreat. Current success does not guarantee future success but based on alignment, unity and no complacency within the partner group, we are extremely confident in continuing to be a leading and successful independent accounting firm in our region. #Leadership #Vision #Independence #Growth #Alignment
