Colangelo & Partners Named Agency Sponsor For 'WINE2WINE,' Italian Industry Forum Devoted to the Business of Wine
New York, New York (PRWEB) October 26, 2016 -- Colangelo & Partners (http://www.colangelopr.com) has been named the agency sponsor for the 3rd annual Wine2Wine (http://www.wine2wine.net/) industry forum, to be held December 6th and 7th at the Veronafiere (Vinitaly) fairgrounds in Verona, Italy. “This sponsorship validates our position as the leading American agency committed to promoting and publicizing fine Italian wines in the US,” said Gino Colangelo, president of Colangelo & Partners. “We’re honored to be offered this prestigious opportunity.”
In just three years, Wine2Wine has grown to become Italy’s leading forum for the business of Italian wine. The event attracts wine industry executives, principals and marketing professionals – all of the players involved in the production and distribution of Italian wine – who gather to discuss issues, innovations, challenges and opportunities that affect the production and sales of Italian wine. International journalists and global wine industry influencers attend as well.
Stevie Kim, the Vinitaly International Managing Director who conceived of Wine2Wine and made the forum a reality, commented, “I’ve worked personally with Colangelo & Partners for many years. I’ve always found them to be a reliable partner committed to supporting the success of Italian wines in the US market.”
Colangelo & Partners will present two seminars at this year’s Wine2Wine. The first, ‘The Hottest Trends in Digital Marketing for PR,’ will explore the latest tools and techniques to leverage the power of digital media in public relations campaigns, allowing brand marketers to communicate directly with target audiences — trade and consumer – effectively and cost efficiently. The second seminar is entitled The Mastery of Media Trips: Best Practices Before, During and After.’ Led by Claire Hennessy, head of Italian wine press relations at Colangelo & Partners, this seminar will explain how to get the most appropriate journalists for press trips, and provide experiences that will result in optimal press coverage.
