The Eric Hwang @bricksofwine Wine Marketing-Media-Internet Hustler-Player-Peep Expose #2

Eric Hwang and Girard wine

Eric Hwang now manages 8 Websites for Vintage Wine Estates.  He got the job after becoming a Murphy Goode top 10 finalist.  Eric talks about being the new guy in town on a recent Windsor Vineyards blog post (that includes a YouTube video he made).  I think it’s interesting that Eric, originally a programmer for at&t wireless who knows just about every programming language, is helping a wine company set up WordPress blogs, create content, and use social media.

I asked Eric how he manages to manage 8 blogs, helps develop content for 8 blogs, and oversees the social media outlets of 8 wine brands.  Eric said it’s been very time consuming and challenging to be in charge of it all, and that he’d like to dedicate himself to just 3 of the 8 wine brands in the future.  I think that Hardy got off easy only having to manage one brand!

I have subscribed to Eric’s personal blog BricksOfWine.com.  I think Sonoma State Wine Business Institute students could benefit from Eric’s post “5 Things That Helped Me Land My Job“.  Good luck with the new job Eric!

You got most of it right. Actually, while I'm charge of the social media for 8 brands, several other people, including my boss, help manage the web sites. They actually keep me busy creating content, writing for 3 blogs that we've set up so far and making lots of videos, all while trying to maintain my own blog.

Thanks for the props, Dr. Horowitz
