Brand Ambassador - Greater China, M. Chapoutier
Currently employed as Brand Ambassador in Greater China for M. Chapoutier winery.
Thanks to more than 3 years dealing with the Wine Representation and Distribution in Greater China with positions based in Singapore, Shanghai and now Beijing, I have acquired a very good knowledge of the Chinese market and Chinese culture. On top of that, I have developed an excellent network and very good relationships with most of the main players involved in the wine industry (both locals and internationals). Last but not least, some good skills in Chinese Mandarin are making communications and and consequently business much easier in the everyday-life.
Finally, maintaining a very strong and devoted passion to Menswear, Fashion and Luxury Industry; founder of the website "The Friday Wear" available at the following link: http://friday-wear.tumblr.com focusing on Menswear, Elegance, Inspirations but always with a touch of originality and differentiation. Page also available on Facebook and Pinterest.
My mission as a Brand Ambassador for Maison M. Chapoutier in Greater China consists basically in developing the Brand Awareness and generating sales on both short term and long term. As such, missions carried on are the following:
- To assist the local importers and M. Chapoutier sole agent on a day to day basis
- To accompany the distributor's sales reps during their market visit, on both On-Trade & Off-Trade
- To open new acounts
- To find new corporate and private customers
- To organize Staff Trainings for both importers/distributors staffs and restaurants/hotels employees
- To organize Wine Tasting, Wine Dinners, Wine Promotions
- To participate to Wine Exhibitions (Chengdu Fair, Vinexpo, HK Wine & Spirits Fair, SIAL, etc.)
- To follow-up with existing customers and potential prospects
R&W represents a selected group of high quality oriented beverages companies from around the world (Georges Duboeuf, Brokenwood, SALIN Bordeaux Wine Merchant, Champagne Devaux...) that want to develop their brands throughout Asia Pacific and Sub-Continent. The main part of my job is to canvass potential importers and monitoring them in my commercial area (Mainland China, Hong Kong). I have a very important role to play in terms of Marketing and Communication. Building the brand awareness of our products is indeed one of our main tasks and I am now very familiar with events organization such as wine dinners or staff trainings. Last but not least, transport logistic support and payment follow up are also a part of my job.
