ABOUT THE SOCIAL SIP:
Founder and marketing maven, Brooke Huffman, is a wine loving northern California native who now calls the Puget Sound, in Washington state home. After 15 years of corporate marketing experience, a Master’s degree in Business Administration, 2 kids and many, many bottles of wine, Brooke decided to transition her successful marketing consulting business into her real passion – wine marketing.
The Social Sip was started out of a love for wine, a love for marketing and the love of helping wineries better understand social media marketing.
​
In addition to her educational and career expertise, Brooke is a WSET 2 and has an Intermediate Wine Certificate from the International Sommelier Guild and was a Washington winery owner and a board member of the Washington State Wine Commission from 2017-2020. She is also a wine writer and the executive director of the Winery Alliance of Bainbridge Island.
​
This unique combination of marketing expertise, business experience and wine education enable The Social Sip to understand the needs of your winery as a business and help you drive results.
BTW - Notice we're a .org and not a .com? That's because 10% of all our revenue goes to non-profit organizations. We like to think we're making the world a better place one glass of wine at a time!
CUSTOMER KUDOS
"Since hiring The Social Sip to manage marketing for Fletcher Bay Winery, our sales are up around 30% from the previous year.
​
The demand has now outpaced our supply, forcing us to increase wine production to keep up."
JIM WILFORD, WINEMAKER / OWNER
"The Social Sip has been an invaluable part of raising awareness for our winery. Brooke quickly developed a marketing strategy and has been thorough in the plan execution through all channels of social media activation. She is knowledgeable, professional and quick to respond to any request with a positive attitude."
"The Social Sip spearheaded an extremely successful summer winery event involving all seven wineries on the island. The sold out event brought attendees from across the nation and resulted in increased wine sales, wine club sign ups and lots of PR attention. I would highly recommend The Social Sip for any type of winery marketing."
