Napa, CA – October 5, 2017 – The 7th Annual Napa Valley Film Festival (NVFF), the ultimate celebration of film, food, and wine that lights up the Valley this November 8-12, has recently partnered with wine industry leader for DTC marketing, Astra Digital Marketing Services. Astra Digital has been brought in to build upon past successes and to lay the groundwork for future growth of the festival by reaching new market segments.
“We have put in years of hard work to make Napa Valley Film Festival what it is today and are proud of where we are, but we can’t rest on our laurels,” said Brenda Lhormer, NVFF Co-Founder/Director. “We need to continue to push the envelope, grow our reach, and increase demand in order to maintain a sustainable model into the future. Astra Digital Marketing Services has opened the door for us to do just that by applying their next-gen marketing strategies to introduce our festival to new audiences. We are very happy to be working with them and can’t wait to see the results.”
Astra Digital Marketing Services has utilized cutting edge digital marketing strategies that have generated results for some of the world’s largest wineries, leading music entertainment venues, local breweries, as well as Napa/Sonoma hotels and restaurants. Based in downtown Napa, Astra’s focus on the next generation of DTC marketing incorporates best practices from all industries and applies them to each individual client. Much like the fitting for an Armani Suit, Astra makes sure that each client has a digital plan that fits their specific needs.
“As traditional marketing strategies continue to become less effective, younger audiences want to be reached where they want to be reached,” said Ron Scharman, CEO of Astra. “Making yourself relevant to them is an ever-increasing burden that has to be taken seriously. Our goal is to utilize all of the previous successes of NVFF and make future segments more accessible and our team of nine dedicated digital professionals have their sights set on exactly that.”
