(opens in new tab)A New way to put Your Brand in the SPOTLIGHT!
Your expertise deserves more than one format. WIN’s Supplier Spotlight program now includes a Video Spotlight option, giving members a new way to share their expertise, tell their story, and connect with wine industry buyers.
Through one guided interview, WIN handles the heavy lifting – from the conversation and professional video editing to promotion across the WIN network. Choose a Video Spotlight, the traditional Editorial Spotlight, or bundle the two to turn one conversation into multiple pieces of professional content you can continue using in your own marketing.
We interview you. We create it. We promote it. You keep the content.
