Did you know the base wine of Champagne was once almost undrinkable? It needed bubbles and dosage to become the amazing wine we know today.

A perfect example of how paid social can drive brand and earned media (and a reminder to check your Meta comments). 👀 I joined Rachel Loughran for a shoot with English winemaker, Kieron Atkinson, to create a piece of UGC that answered the question wine drinkers ask the most, "how do I pick a good bottle of wine?". I'll tell you how at the end... Thanks to a cracking script and expert video editing from Rachel, we had a new creative to launch on social. Very quickly, the ad was scaling and generating a lot of engagement but not for reasons I expected. The comments section became filled with comparisons of Kieron with Tom Cruise, with one user nicknaming him 'Tom Booze'. 😂 We jumped on this straight away and Rachel did her magic to produce another creative soft-launching 'Tom Booze' which took off quicker than Tom Cruise running from an exploding building. Next thing you know Kieron and Tom Booze has gone viral and is being featured in BBC News, The Telegraph, TV and radio. Plus, with Tom Cruise abseiling Stade de France to close out the Olympics, the timing couldn't have been better. Oh, and the answer to how to pick a good bottle of wine? Buy from independent winemakers and get wines tailored to your taste, of course. 🍷

🍍 The Pineapple Principle 🍍 Q: What makes up wine? A: Grapes, mostly. Q: Can you get Merlot out of a Pineapple? A: No. Q: Can the greatest fanciest most talented winemaker in the world get Merlot out of a Pineapple? A: No. Q: Why not? A: Because Merlot is made out of grapes. Often we judge our proverbial winemaking skills by our ability to get Merlot out of Pineapples. We judge ourselves unlovable when we pick people who are incapable of loving. We judge ourselves unworthy when we pick redemption projects that are unattainable. We judge ourselves less-than when we pick metrics of achievement that are out of alignment with our real values. Beware the Pineapples. They're everywhere. And they'll make you doubt your winemaking skills. #anxiety #worklifebalance #womenentreprenuers #mentalhealth
