aybe it's because we live and breathe wine, food, and agriculture 365 days a year, that we think of building brands and relationships in terms of planting seeds. First, you learn as much as possible about the land and the environment around it; then you carefully plant seeds; you continue to nurture the land and the resulting plants, so their roots grow deep and strong. Finally, you study the environment, care for the land and anticipate the needs of the plant—always and forever.
Enough analogies. We offer a broad range of marketing, communications, and public relations services, and after thoughtful consultation and consideration, we recommend and implement a campaign designed to address the specific needs and desires of each client. Our marketing and public relations platform includes, but is not limited to:
 |
M3 - Metrics, Marketing, and Messaging for Green Business John Garn and Marie Gewirtz have worked with wine community clients for over 20 years in their individual businesses to align resources and people and fully integrate "green quality" throughout their organizations. It’s simple—sustainable business practices are emerging as a primary requirement for any business to have substantial access to the global marketplace. |
 |
Media Relations (Local, National, and International) For almost 30 years, we have cultivated relationships with local, national, and international wine, food, lifestyle, agriculture, and business media. Our extensive database of contacts is continually updated and now includes a comprehensive list of social media and media concerned with the environment. |

Marketing and PR Plans MGPR invests a tremendous amount of thought and planning to make sure clients are strategically positioned with respect for their authenticity and history, yet with an eye on the leading industry trends. As roadmaps for our work, these plans are carefully implemented and are updated annually. |
