POSITION SUMMARY
The WWVWA utilizes nearly all facets of marketing to promote the Walla Walla Valley wine region, including research, public relations, advertising, strategic planning and sales distribution. The primary tools for reaching the Walla Walla Valley Wine Region’s target market segments are wine events, media relations, advertising and Valley-wide product and distribution development. The WWVWA targets the following four market segments:
1.      Wine consumers residing outside of the Walla Walla Valley.
2.      Wine wholesale and retail trade.
3.      Wine, travel, and lifestyle media.
4.      Walla Walla Valley residents who purchase wine and/or assist in promoting the Valley’s wine industry through word-of-mouth.
Events are a key tool used to market and promote the Walla Walla Valley wine region. Local and out-of-town events are used to promote wine tourism to the Walla Walla Valley and the wines produced by WWVWA member wineries to consumers, media and trade. At present, the WWVWA events include:
1.      Walla Walla Wine On Tour Events – Seattle, Portland, Boise (400 trade/media and 400 consumers per location)
2.      Reveal Walla Walla Valley wine futures auction (3 sessions over 2 days)
3.      Celebrate Walla Walla Valley Wine (3-day event with 600 attendees, familiarization tour with media)
4.      Wander Walla Walla Valley Wine (self-guided itinerary series presented by local winemakers)
5.      Barrel Full of Money charitable fundraiser wine reception and auction (150 attendees)
The Marketing Manager will work closely with the Wine Alliance Staff, Board and applicable committees in planning and executing all aspects of these events, including management of both consumer and industry participation, as well as participation by WWVWA members. The Marketing Manager must possess strong interpersonal and leadership skills, as well as an ability to work independently, while still meeting the objectives laid out in the WWVWA 3-year strategic plan and marketing plan.
