Conclusions

• The Inaugural Napa Valley Tweetup played an important role in

lifting awareness and Share of Voice for Robert Mondavi Winery

• With less than two months to organize and market the event, the

heretofore unknown Napa Valley Tweetup presented by Robert

Mondavi Winery dominated Share of Voice when compared to

other, well-known events

• By creating more “fuel for the fire” via the content distribution

network, the Napa Valley Tweetup retains Share of Voice post-

event and therefore enhances awareness for the Robert Mondavi

Winery Brand
