Case Study | Flute & Fromage

Industry: Hospitality & Travel

Scope of Work:

Gather was engaged to generate anticipation and awareness for the launch of Flute & Fromage—a boutique cheesemonger and natural wine shop located in Whistler, BC. Our goal: to captivate local, national, and global audiences, from discerning travelers to passionate cheese and wine aficionados.

Our Strategic Approach:

To bring the Flute & Fromage story to life and ensure maximum visibility, we implemented a multifaceted communications strategy:

Strategic Press Outreach: Crafted and distributed a compelling press announcement to our database of top local, national and international media, followed by targeted outreach to key outlets.

Media Hosting & Influencer Engagement: In collaboration with destination marketing partners, we curated exclusive tasting experiences and meet-and-greets with founder Tara May, welcoming top-tier media and influencers from BC, across Canada, and internationally.

Creative Media Kits & Drops: To cut through the noise, we developed bespoke media mail-outs, thoughtfully packaged to reflect the brand's artisanal charm and product excellence.

Partnership Development: We launched a strategic partnership initiative, aligning with high-profile businesses, festivals, and events to amplify brand reach.

Real-Time Monitoring & Reporting: We provided comprehensive media monitoring and analytics, ensuring measurable outcomes and data-driven insights.
