ernest for drinks brands

Community marketing for drinks brands

A drink is discovered in a shared moment. ernest connects you to the communities that taste together (wine clubs, mixology circles, specialty coffee, sober-curious) so you can run gifting, event sponsorship or ambassador activations, and measure the impact.

Why community

Why drinks are shared in community

Tasting is a social experience: people discover, compare and recommend. Placing your drink in those moments builds a memorable association and natural word of mouth.

Tasting communities gather early adopters, often the first to try a new brand and pass it on to the people around them.

Discovery and the first sip are decisive, and hard to create with paid media.

You're after real consumption occasions, not just visibility.

3

You want credible tastemakers in a crowded market.
