A freakin’ good digital marketing agency for wine

What
We Offer.

Every service. Every price. No surprises. You pick what you need now, or you build the whole machine. Either way, you leave knowing exactly what you’re getting into.

None of these services are off-the-shelf products. Every project starts with a discovery call so we can scope it properly, involve the right people, and make sure the timing works for both sides. All prices are in euro, and the price you see is the price you pay.

You make great wine. But nobody buys it.

The tasting went beautifully. Everyone swirled, everyone nodded, someone even said unforgettable. Then the room emptied and the order forms stayed blank. Your webshop gets visitors who look around and leave without buying. Your newsletter, when it goes out at all, lands between forty others and sinks without a trace. And when someone asks what makes your wine different, the answer comes out different every time.

Your wine is not the problem. Great wine simply does not sell itself anymore, however much we would all prefer it did. And no, Gen Z has nothing to do with it. The story, the visibility, the follow-up: the machine that turns being good into being bought. That machine can be built, piece by piece, and you get to decide which piece comes first.

If you have ever typed “why is my wine not selling” into Google late at night, you are in exactly the right place. Everything below exists to fix that. With prices attached, because you have better things to do than ask for quotes.

How WWM Works

The WWM.
System.

All services are built on a phasing structure. Each part can be chosen separately. But the stronger you want your digital presence to grow, the more each phase needs the ones before it.

If your social media strategy is solid but it sends people to a website with a poor user experience, you lose them. If your blog content is excellent but the page is hard to navigate, you lose them. A meaningless newsletter does more harm than good.

So there is a system. With WWM: we have it, we understand it, and we bring it to you.

Each phase can stand alone. Together they become a machine.
1Phase One

Branding &
Visual Identity

Before anything goes online, you need to know who you are.

You know the feeling. Your Instagram sounds one way, your website another, and the flyer from last year’s trade fair sounds like a third person entirely. None of it is wrong. It just is not quite you. And deep down you sense that the people reading it sense it too: they cannot name what is off, but something makes them hesitate.

That hesitation is what we take away in Phase 1. Together we pin down how you talk, what you stand for, and how you show up visually. Every platform, every time, unmistakably you. Once that lives on paper, everything you make afterwards gets faster, cleaner, and easier to say yes to.

You get it as a fully written document. Yours to keep, to hand to your designer, to build from the same afternoon.

Think of it as the brief that every other piece of work is written from.

The offer

Brand Strategy & Positioning

The thinking that everything else gets built on. Written down, made yours.
  • Core positioning: who you are, who you’re for, and what makes you impossible to swap for the next bottle
  • Messaging framework per audience, because your importer and your Instagram follower do not speak the same language
  • Tone of voice for every digital platform, so you sound like you everywhere
  • How your brand shows up across every digital touchpoint, from webshop to trade fair follow-up
  • Delivered as a fully written strategy document: yours to keep, to use, to build from the same afternoon
1099euro
Want the visual side too? Logo, colours, labels, the whole graphic identity: I set you up with Marloes, our graphic designer with 15+ years in food and drinks branding. Strategy from me, design from her, one seamless handover. Just say so on the call.
Reading this and quietly nodding?

Then let’s talk. A free discovery call, no pitch: we figure out together what you actually need before anything gets proposed or priced.

2Phase Two

Website &
SEO/GEO

Your website is the only member of your team that works around the clock. Be honest: would you keep it, based on results?

You have googled a winery before deciding whether to reach out, right? So does everyone deciding about you. The importer does it before answering your email. The wine lover does it standing at the shelf. The journalist does it before writing a single word. Whatever they find in those first seconds decides whether they stay or quietly move on.

Phase 2 fixes both halves of that first impression: the structure of your site and the words that fill it. One without the other is half a job. Together they turn your website into the salesperson it was always supposed to be.

SEO is how Google finds you: the right words, structure and signals, so you show up when someone searches for what you make. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) is its new sibling: making sure AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overview recommend you when buyers simply ask a question. One wins you the search results, the other wins you the answers. (You will also hear the name AEO, answer engine optimisation: same battle, different sticker.) You need both now. And yes, I wrote a whole article about the difference: read it on the blog.

UX Direction & Website Strategy

Build the right structure before a single word is written or a pixel is placed.

The Website, Built With You

Strategy, words and the build itself: one brain, zero handovers.

Here is what usually happens: a strategist writes a plan, a copywriter writes words, a developer builds a website, and somewhere between those three handovers your story quietly leaks away. I do it differently, because I can: the strategy, the copy, the SEO/GEO and the build come from the same brain. What we decide together on Monday is live by Friday, still meaning what it meant.

I build on Shopify: brand sites, content sites and webshops. Including the unglamorous parts that make a wine shop actually work, like EU VAT settings, shipping rules and age verification. You review live pages as we build, not mockups, and at handover you own everything.

3Phase Three

Social Media,
Content &
Newsletters

Visibility is not an accident. It is a system.

Be honest: this is where most of your hours go, and where the least comes back. You post when you remember to. The newsletter goes out when there is finally something to say. Every piece costs you an evening, and a week later it is like it never happened.

Phase 3 builds the system that makes your effort stack up instead of evaporate. Each platform gets its own strategy, because your LinkedIn buyer and your Instagram follower want different things from you. Your newsletter becomes the channel that quietly builds loyalty and sales. And your blog gets written to be found: by Google, by AI tools, and by exactly the people already searching for what you make.

One thing most wine businesses have not clocked yet: social is not separate from search anymore. Your LinkedIn captions and Instagram alt texts are read by Google and by AI tools, so every good post also feeds your findability. And no, you do not need to be everywhere. I wrote down how the platforms actually differ, and which one fits which wine business: read that before you spread yourself thin.

Each platform, its own strategy:

LinkedIn - B2B, Trade, Personal BrandWhere importers, buyers and trade partners actually read. Authority content that earns credibility before the call ever happens. My home turf, with the data to prove it.
Instagram - B2C, D2C, CommunityVisual storytelling that builds desire and turns followers into buyers. And every caption and alt text now feeds Google and AI, so each post works twice.

Platform Strategy

One platform, fully thought through. Built for you to execute yourself.

What is a platform strategy, really? It answers, for one platform: who you are talking to, what you talk about and in what mix, how often you post, in which tone, and what it should all lead to. Written down so clearly that you never again sit staring at a blank caption on a gray Tuesday. It is the difference between posting and building.

Per Platform

Full Platform Strategy

LinkedIn or Instagram. A strategy you can actually run without me.
  • Full written strategy: audience, content pillars, posting cadence, tone of voice and growth approach
  • 2 × one-hour working sessions: one to dig into your business, one to hand everything over
  • Profile optimisation included: your Instagram bio or LinkedIn page rewritten to convert
  • Built to execute yourself, with the coaching below if you want me in your corner while you do

Wake Up Your Sleeping List

The email addresses you collected over the years are not a dead file. They are a sales channel, asleep.

You know that list your business built up over time? Tastings, trade fairs, webshop orders, the signup sheet at the open cellar day. All those people said: keep me posted. But the newsletter only goes out when there is finally something to say, and when it does, maybe one or two out of every hundred open it. So somewhere along the way you quietly concluded that email does not work. It does. Email is the only channel where no algorithm decides who sees you: you own every address, and reaching them costs nothing. Your list is not dead. It is asleep. Waking it up is a craft.

One Programme

Newsletter Activation

For the list you already have. Not for buying a bigger one.
  • Deep dive into your list: who is there, who sleeps, who quietly left years ago
  • Welcome funnel and standard flows, built inside your own email platform - you own everything
  • A/B testing framework for subject lines, timing and length, learned on your audience instead of someone’s blog
  • Segmentation and deliverability health check, so the right people get the right email

*The free part: before we talk money, I run a quick scan of your list. How big, how healthy, how deeply asleep. You get my findings and the exact price for your situation. Then you decide.

Proof, not promises

You don’t have to take my word for it. Here’s what changed for real wine businesses I’ve worked with - all organic, no paid ads, and mostly before we’d even rebuilt their website.

+12%
Rise in webshop sales (newsletter clicks + Instagram)
35%
Email open rate, up from 1.3%
+600%
LinkedIn visibility in 2 months
3.8×
Reach from a single strategic post
A wine webshop

Instagram reach grew ~9×, from 2.7K to 25K monthly views.

Storytelling-led content, consistently. Purely organic: no paid ads.

100% organic
A wine newsletter

Open rate climbed 1.3% → 7.8% → 35%, and clicks 0.2% → 2.8% → 7.6%, over six months.

Monthly, then every two weeks. Those traceable clicks are what drove the webshop’s +12% sales rise, with Instagram adding reach on the side.

100% organic
A wine agent

LinkedIn visibility up +600% in two months.

The right buyers finally seeing the posts - a personal-brand strategy that put an unknown profile in front of the trade.

100% organic
A winery

One strategic post delivered 3.8× the usual reach - and broke into a brand-new audience.

For the first time the content reached the target investor cities (London, Paris, Bordeaux), not just the founder’s local circle.

100% organic

And that’s the reach and sales side. Imagine what happens when the website underneath is built to actually convert.

What clients say.

“Working with Margot has been a truly valuable experience for our family business. She helped us define and strengthen our vision and mission with remarkable clarity and professionalism. She quickly became more than an external advisor; she felt like a genuine part of our team. I highly recommend Margot to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and exceptional professional.”

Giuliano D’Alba
Wine importer & restaurateur, The Hague

“Margot delivered one of the most impactful presentations at the WineTech Innovation Summit 2025. Her talk on why wine branding fails online, and how to fix it, was full of practical insights and clear strategies. The audience was deeply engaged from start to finish. Margot is a true professional and an outstanding speaker.”

“I know Margot for 3 years and have been tasting with her at various international wine competitions and realized some other projects with her. For me she stands out with high analytic skills, professionalism and a deep understanding of the global markets. I can only recommend her!”

Thomas Brandl

Owner, Xenos-Comm e.K. PR Network

“I first connected with Margot on LinkedIn. Even back then, she had a clear vision that many others in the wine industry did not yet fully recognise: that wine was not maximizing the power of storytelling. Today, that idea is far more widely accepted, but at the time she was one of the few willing to say it openly, when many others were still hesitant. That is how we connected. I admired her courage to speak honestly about what she could see and the way she has since helped so many wine brands. I met her in person for the first time this February at Wine Paris, and it only confirmed my impression.”

3+Phase Three - Content Creator Coaching

Content
Creator
Coaching

You post. I make you better at it. That is the deal.

Here is why I do not post for you, and it is not what agencies usually tell you. Done-for-you content only works if you feed the machine: the harvest photo, the client story, the thing that happened at the trade fair. And you will not. Not because you are lazy, but because you are running a wine business. So the content stalls, the invoice keeps coming, and everyone quietly resents the arrangement.

So I flipped it. You make the content, because nobody sounds like you except you. I bring the system: what to post, why some posts sell wine while others just exist, and honest feedback before and after you hit publish. I have run this for six months straight with two clients. It is exactly what moved their numbers.

Who this is for: You have a platform strategy in place, mine or your own, and you are ready to show up consistently. What you need is not another document. It is a trained eye on your work, and someone who tells you the truth about why last week’s post died.

4Phase Four

B2B Trade
Strategy &
Consulting

The trade does not buy wine. The trade buys confidence.

You can have the best wine in the room and still lose the conversation. The buyer across the table is making a decision based on far more than what is in the glass. They are assessing your story, your consistency, your market knowledge, your pricing logic, and whether they believe you will still be there in three years. That confidence is built before you arrive at the fair, not during it.

Phase 4 prepares you for those conversations. Not by writing your sales documents or staffing your stand: that is your job, and it should be. But by working through your positioning, narrative, negotiation approach, and trade fair preparation in four focused sessions so that when you walk into that room, you own it.

Four sessions cover:

Your story: absolute clarity on what you say and how you say it in a trade context
Trade fair preparation: tools, planning, approach and stand presentation tactics
Negotiation tactics and pricing credibility in buyer conversations
Standing out: what makes your pitch memorable and different
B2B Trade Strategy

4-Session Consulting Programme

4 × one-hour digital sessions. Working through everything together.
  • Positioning and narrative clarity for trade conversations
  • Trade fair preparation: strategy, tools, stand presentation tactics
  • Negotiation and pricing credibility coaching
  • What makes your pitch memorable and different
  • Expert guidance throughout - WWM does not attend trade fairs or represent clients at stands
1249euro · 4 sessions
Ongoing Support

Per Additional Trade Fair

For every fair that follows: refreshed preparation and guidance.
  • Refreshed positioning and narrative for the specific market
  • Fair-specific briefing and preparation
  • One focused session per fair included
549euro · per trade fair
Why Phase 4 comes last and why that matters: It is always advised to have Phases 1–3 at least 60% in place before activating Phase 4. When buyers leave your booth and search for you online - and they will - what they find must confirm what you told them in person. That moment of confirmation is where trust is built or lost.
A fair on the calendar?

Trade fair preparation works best when there is time to build the groundwork properly. Book a call early and we talk through your next fair, and whether this makes sense for you.
