Constellation Wines

Mobile Sampling Tours

Convincing young professionals and beer drinkers to make the switch to wine meant we had to show up in some unexpected places.

Driving Value in New Environments

HS&E produced and managed several sampling tours on behalf of Constellation to introduce new wines to consumers across the country. To break through a cluttered food and beverage space, HS&E leveraged its consumer insights team to strategically target new environments, and better position brands to stand out. Together we pioneered wine partnerships with marketing and design conferences as well as craft beer festivals, which gave Constellation access to 1.6M+ event attendees in thirty critical markets.
