For the past 18 years, owner Bruno Laclotte and his staff built more than 500 brands on the West Coast. Always ahead of the industry, WSC introduced eclectic small artisan labels to many of the Five Star Restaurants (some of those chefs include: Joel Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, Daniel Boulud, Guy Savoy, Bobby Flay, and Charlie Palmer). Those labels also made their way into franchised restaurants, small independent restaurants, large specialty shops and more than 4,000 trade clients.

 

Bruno Laclotte (Owner): “First, I familiarized myself with each client program. Then I helped them reach their clientele with a different and more innovative approach utilizing less marketing dollars. We proved to the very competitive market that small and medium sized companies can create a different experience for the consumer. Sommeliers at that time were only showing “cult and collectable wines.” Now they are happy to serve exceptional value wines made by small artisan producers from all over the world. Boutique suppliers may not have the same budget as the “big” brands, but they do have lots of integrity. We have shared with the public our point of view by creating events, wine-maker dinners, and on-site tastings. We communicate an invaluable knowledge of the product. In two words, ‘PERSONNAL TOUCH.’ Powerful brands are built by people, not by standard methodologies.”

 

We developed many successful labels for on and off premise through the creation of a professional network including: beverage buyers, food and beverage directors, wine directors, sommeliers, and chef owners.

 

We teach you how to identify the needs of the market. As a starting entrepreneur you learn as you go.  We prevent some of those growing pains to save your time and money.

 

USE OUR EXPERIENCE, USE OUR SERVICES!!!

 

Eating the Big Fish by Adam Morgan: “Most marketing books are written about brand leaders, but most marketing people don’t work on brand leaders. These challenger brands need to behave differently if they are compete with brand leaders-effectively doing more with less.”
