Join Women of the Vine & Spirits and special guest, Padilla for a live webinar on
Influencing the Influencers: How to Build a Trade Marketing Program that Works Both Short and Long Term
May 22
10:00 a.m. PST / 1:00 p.m. EST
The U.S. is the most competitive and complex alcohol market in the world. Consumers look to sommeliers, bartenders and retail sales staff to help present options and guide choices. But navigating the three-tier system, state-by-state, can make trade programs complicated to concept and implement. It’s also important to balance short-term “wins” with long-term program goals that drive brand and category growth.
We’ll talk through key strategic and practical considerations, including:
- Defining your value proposition
- Refining on-premise and off-premise targets
- Customizing strategic partnerships
- Building long-term trade alliances
Join Katie Myers, vice president at Padilla, and Viviana Pinzón Correa, account supervisor at Padilla, who will draw upon their 15+ years of experience in developing and managing successful trade programs for clients such as Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Rioja.

Viviana Pinzón Correa

With over eight years of experience in public relations, event production and marketing for the wine and spirits sector, Viviana spent five years conceptualizing and overseeing the execution of trade and B2B programs across the United States for Spain’s Wines from Rioja.
