Direct-to-Consumer Marketing Case Study
The Client
Reimagining a Direct-to-Consumer Original
Wine of the Month Club is one of the most well recognized and longest standing direct-to-consumer businesses globally. The company was founded in 1972 as a way to remove anxiety in the wine buying process. It was first to market in the online ecosystem and, over the following years, set the benchmark for direct-to-consumer businesses, providing subscribers with access to an award-winning selection of wines, delivered to their door on a monthly basis. Today, the company’s founders are committed to going beyond the bottle and driving education around wine and the wine buying process in a way that makes it more approachable and fun.
