Testimonials

“Big Bang’s deep experience in the wine industry helped us greatly in shaping our overall PR strategy. What I really appreciate is how they take the time to dig in and get to know each brand, from the vineyard to the winemaking and all of the unique aspects along the way. This authentic approach guides and informs their tailoring of a strategy best suited to each brand’s attributes and each client’s specific needs.”

Heidi Scheid

Executive Vice President,
Scheid Family Wines

“We have worked with Jean Jacote, Big Bang Communications for more than a decade. Jean and her team have always been very effective and results-oriented. I think their industry knowledge and focus on details has helped forge long-term, mutually respected relationships with a wide range of media contacts. Whether writing press releases or overseeing a national exposure effort, we would not consider working with anyone else other than Jean and her Big Bang team.”

Claire Marlin

Managing Director, Wrath

“Big Bang marketing has provided our family wine business with thoughtful, creative and effective marketing and public relations support. Their impact on our image and bottomline was significant and the POS materials that they artfully developed provided great value in the marketplace!”

Steve McIntyre

“Over the years, we have used Big Bang for a variety of writing and PR special projects. Their work has always been crisp, professional, on brand, on time and usually under budget. Big Bang has deep understanding of the industry that allows them to see and respect the special needs of any brand. On top of that. they are just plain fun to work with.”

Peter Kay

Director of Sales,
Peter Michael Winery

“Big Bang Wine provided PR and marketing services to Chalk Hill Estate when I was Director of Winemaking. Jean Jacote booked media appointments and prepped me for each meeting or interview. She is a consummate professional with a personal approach. Jean helped me feel comfortable speaking with wine writers and radio show hosts, critical when you want to put your best foot forward. She is a great reader of people, and knows right away how to bring out the best in everyone she works with. I consider Jean a mentor and friend, and highly recommend Big Bang Wine.”

Lisa Bishop Forbes

Consulting Winemaker

“I had the pleasure of working with Big Bang Wine for almost 15 years on a number of brands with both Jackson Family Wines and Foley Family Wines. Jean Jacote was instrumental in booking media appointments and preparing staff for them. She is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and responsive, making effective contributions to brand promotion.”
