About today’ session:

The American media landscape is shifting quickly, with audiences for digital-only publications outpacing that of traditional media. At the same time, media is becoming increasingly fragmented, with top talent going out on their own as solopreneurs, publishing niche-focused newsletters, podcasts, and videos. In this session, media expert Erica Duecy will survey the American publications and creators covering wine, sharing strategies and tactics to help brands and companies gain earned media placements. Erica has worked as Chief Content Officer and Editor in Chief for multiple wine and spirits publications, and as Digital Editorial Director for some of America’s largest media brands. As such, she has an insider’s perspective on how to pitch and work with the media most effectively.
