Listen "Ruffells Ad Break 33 - Ed Donaldson"
Episode Synopsis
Ed Donaldson, Marketing Manager of Pegasus Bay Winery shares the remarkable story behind one of New Zealand’s most respected family-run wineries. From planting vines with his family in the 1980s to recently winning the top award at the Judgement of London with their Bel Canto Riesling, Ed outlines a journey built on authenticity, quality, and long-term relationships. He reflects on his unorthodox path from chef to marketer and his deep belief in storytelling over traditional marketing tactics. The conversation also explores the integration of arts and music into the winery's branding, including collaborations, playlists, and a distinct tone of voice. Ed speaks openly about the challenges, his punk rock approach to marketing, and the importance of values, family, and staying true to one’s vision in a saturated wine industry.
