Third Places, Nostalgia Marketing, and Why Strategy Still Beats Tactics

Wednesday, July 16, 2025 • Duration 10:08

This week, we’re tackling three big questions:

What happens to wine marketing when economic uncertainty hits?
New insights from Gartner suggest that shoppers are already behaving like we’re in a recession. We break down how wine brands can respond with empathy, transparency, and clear value — before trust is lost.

What if wineries stopped waiting for foot traffic… and drove it?
Sephora’s “Delivered to Beauty” campaign literally sends a car to bring people in-store. Why? Because brick-and-mortar still matters, but it has to earn the trip. The wine world already has tasting rooms. Now we need to rethink how we get people to them.

✨ What Gen Z wants from luxury — and how wine can rise to meet it
From JW Marriott’s story-first content to the broader shift toward “interestingness” as the new exclusivity, luxury is being redefined. The lesson? Stop defaulting to gold foil and start getting curious.

The Wine Marketer’s Radar is a weekly series from 5forests that connects big-picture marketing trends to wine brand strategy.

What SXSW London taught us about brand strategy, Gen Z, and the future of wine marketing.

Tuesday, June 17, 2025 • Duration 09:39

After a two-week break for SXSW London (and a secret London-based project!), Polly Hammond returns with a packed episode that looks at what’s happening outside the wine world — and what it means for wine brands trying to grow in a changing cultural and digital landscape.

In this episode:

What global CMOs are saying about marketing 2030
From Diageo and Unilever: the fundamentals still matter, moderation is a megatrend, influencer marketing demands trust, and AI isn’t just a content machine — it’s a strategic accelerator.

Smirnoff Ice turns 25 — and goes after Gen Z
The RTD titan is launching its first global campaign with a bold tone, new formats, and occasion-first thinking. We break down what wine brands can learn about packaging innovation, irreverent branding, and how to grow without losing your identity.

VCCP’s loyalty report flips the script on retention
New UK data shows that the best loyalty programs aren’t just about perks — they’re about belonging, identity, and emotional connection. We explore how wineries can evolve from churn management to true brand growth.

AI SEO is here — are you part of the answers?
The rise of AI-powered search means traditional SEO rules no longer apply. We unpack the rise of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and why showing up in ChatGPT and Perplexity matters just as much as Google rankings.

CRM 3.0, Abuelas & Anti-AI Campaigns, #SocialOffSocials and the Digital Video Surge

Tuesday, May 6, 2025 • Duration 07:15

Wine brands aren’t just competing with each other anymore. They’re competing with shifting consumer expectations—shaped by tech, fatigue, and smarter marketing from other industries.

This week’s episode of The Wine Marketer’s Radar breaks down four outside-the-wine-world stories that smart marketers should be watching right now:

CRM 3.0 — and the end of generic loyalty What does next-gen customer marketing look like? Hint: it’s not AI gimmicks. It’s smart use of the tools wineries already have—segmentation, behavioral triggers, and relevance at scale.

Del Real’s “Abuela Intelligence” campaign While everyone else is chasing machine-led personalization, Del Real went the other way: nostalgia, emotional memory, and real grandmothers. And it worked. Here's why.

Heineken’s “Social Off Socials” message 62% of Gen Z say digital engagement leaves them drained. Heineken is leaning in—encouraging people to log off and connect IRL. Wineries chasing younger drinkers, take note.

The $72B digital video boom wine is ignoring CPG, retail, beauty—they’re doubling down on short-form and connected TV. Wine? Still not showing up where attention lives. Let’s fix that.

This isn’t wine news. It’s the news wine brands need to be paying attention to.

Accessibility shortcuts are under fire — and wineries are at risk.

Google’s cookie chaos demands first-party data now.

Google’s ad monopoly, Meta’s might lose Insta, and the harsh truth about premiumization

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 • Duration 05:53

Is premiumisation still a smart strategy — or just another name for inflation?

In this week’s Wine Marketer’s Radar, we explore the fine line between value and overpricing, plus two major antitrust cases that could change how wine brands advertise and connect with customers online.

What we cover:

The U.S. ruling against Google’s ad monopoly — and what a potential breakup could mean for small brands
Meta’s high-stakes trial over Instagram and WhatsApp — and why your reliance on Instagram deserves a re-think
Gareth Turner’s brilliant breakdown of premiumisation vs alienation — and why we’re seeing brand inflation, not differentiation

What do an abandoned cart movie trailer, TikTok travel inspo, and a robotic phone case that flips itself over when it hears “cheers” have in common?

Tuesday, April 15, 2025 • Duration 06:15

They all tell us something about how consumers are discovering, choosing, and experiencing in 2025.

This week’s Wine Marketer’s Radar covers:

→ Why most winery content is missing the real opportunity in destination marketing
→ YouTube’s rise to media dominance — and how wine brands can actually use it

→ And yes, a shoutout to the Heineken Flipper, because sometimes marketing is just joyful

This isn’t wine industry news. It’s the news the wine industry should care about.
