Concept
Our approach
Selling wine is about more than what's in the bottle.
It's about storytelling. For the story to be effective, it needs to be strong, consistent, and constant, told many times over a multitude of platforms. A good story acknowledges the company's history, demonstrates value, and communicates points of difference.
At Lithica, effective storytelling is embedded in everything that we do. It influences purchase decisions and shapes the future of your business.
Let us collaborate on your next big story.

Copywriting
When it comes to wine marketing, copywriting is often generic and stale or uninviting and overly technical.
We break down the complexity of wine so that it's simple and understandable, using snappy, catchy writing that resonates with your consumer and reflects your brand vision. Best of all, you don't need to teach us about wine. No more embarrassments or inaccuracies.

Design
Good design is as simple as making a wine visually attractive, so it is likeable and stand out from the competition. Whether it is the labels, technical sheets, brochures, signages, micro-sites, or newsletters, beautiful visuals make impactive first impressions on wine consumers.
