Matthew Pears — Wine & Premium Brands

The opportunity

Wine is built on trust, provenance and reputation. These are the same forces I have spent fifteen years shaping for some of the world's most demanding sectors. Most of the wine industry has not brought that thinking to the table yet.

I work with leadership teams as a board level communications partner. My background is in fintech and payments, where audiences are sceptical and the stakes are high, and I now bring that same rigour to wine and premium brands. The result is a clear story, a sharper market position, and communications that help the business grow.

ii.

Start here: the three day messaging sprint

A focused engagement that gives your business its strategic foundation. A clear, different story and the messaging to use it everywhere. Fixed scope, fixed fee, and a finished result you own.

Day one

Workshop

We get into the business together. What you do, why it matters, what sets you apart, and who you need to reach.

Day two

Write

I build your strategic narrative, your core messaging and your positioning.

Day three

Present back

We review it together, test it properly, and capture your feedback.

The week after

Your finished foundation

You receive a polished narrative and positioning document, ready to use across every channel.

iii.

What you walk away with

Strategic thinking, made tangible. Three things you can put to work straight away.

Your winning story

The story of how your business wins, written clearly and built to work commercially.

A messaging framework

The themes, proof points and language your whole team can use with one voice.

An audience map

Who your story needs to reach, and how you build trust with each of them.

iv.

Working together for the long term

Once the foundation is in place, I work with a small number of businesses as an ongoing partner, either fractional or retained, to put the story to work.

Strategic narrative and positioning

Keeping your story sharp and effective as you grow, enter new markets or change direction.

Executive and board communications

Trusted counsel for the moments that matter, from investor conversations to reputation sensitive situations.

Community and audience building

Turning your story into real connection, building engaged communities of trade, collectors and customers.

Reputation and trust

Helping you protect confidence and handle complexity, so trust and provenance keep working in your favour.

If you lead a wine business and want your story to work as hard as your wines, let's talk.

No obligation. Just a conversation about what your business could become.
