- Marina Thompson

Marina established the company upon her return from the United States, after a decade-long training and work experience. An Italian-born UK citizen (as her name might suggest), for the last fifteen years she has pioneered the field of wine marketing with the passion of a connoisseur and the business vision of a top class consultant.
Over the years, Marina's outstanding talent for public relations has built an international network of experts, journalist and influential "wine people" in general, that attend Thompson events and share their precious views with winemakers on one hand - and with a worldwide audience on the other.
Marina has consulted on in projects for the development of wine producers' consortia, from the application draft through fundraising. Her perfect familiarity with import export trade dynamics spans five continents (Europe, United States, Australia/New Zealand, China and the Far East).
Last but not least, her cheerful attitude makes also the most focused business meetings a breeze.

Her main focus is managing events in Northern Europe, relations with the European press, media buying and direct and indirect advertising on the Italian market.
She's also in charge of drafting and monitoring client contracts. Together with Paola, she takes care of relations with the wine press and journalists in general. Quite often, these professional contacts have turned into authentic friendship.

The liaison officer in charge of Norht America and Asia, she is also commited to assuring total quality during press trips &mdash an increasingly strategic ingredient of the Thompson Marketing blend.
Needless to say, the professionalism and politeness in her daily contacts with the press have resulted in her making quite a few good friends among Italian journalists.
