    After a successful project based work relationship, I jumped on board & joined the Quoin Rock Group as Head of Marketing. I'm Super hungry to grow, learn, and apply all the experience gained over the past 9 Years.I'm responsible for the holistic Brand approach, as well as taking lead with Marketing of 6 Platforms. A good blend of Wine driven business, online, On-site hospitality, and general brand growth. Quoin Rock is a versatile group with experience driven platforms, as well as a specific selection of world class wines. A very big Brand & marketing challenge. The positioning of the brand is interesting, it's also a fairly fresh & new brand in the wine industry... this leaves us with a big task of branding building & attempt to broaden potential market share.
