Gemma Cole

This week on episode 3, I interviewed my first Brand Ambassador couple and soon-to-be parents, Gemma Cole and Dominic Venegas. Gemma is the National Brand Ambassador at Aberlour Single Malt and Dominic, Whiskey Convivialist at Pernod Ricard USA. They shared the advantages of online tastings, focusing on the consumer, the benefits of working side by side with your Brand Manager, how to get the most out of your GSMs, hard lessons learned, the benefits of taking the leap from one company to another and much more.

Episode 3: Gemma Cole & Dominic Venegas

Our guest this week is Dominic Venegas, a bartender turned brand ambassador, who has an encyclopedic knowledge of both spirits and cocktails. Over the years, he has worked at some of the industry's most influential bars in both San Francisco and New York, including Bourbon &amp; Branch, and the NoMad Bar. During much of this time, he was also working at a boutique bottleshop during the day, so that he could beef up his spirits knowledge while he wasn't shaking drinks. Years later, he is now nominated for brand ambassador of the year, for his work representing one of the world's most prestigious whiskey portfolios. So tune in, as he talks about his journey into the world of premium spirits. =============================   Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers &amp; authors.
