Creative communications agency Connecting Plots has been appointed by Casella Family Brands to handle the social media accounts for [yellow tail] wine in Australia.

The win follows an audit of the Casella Family Brands social activities, which led to [yellow tail] rethinking its approach to social media and how it aligns with its overall marketing strategy.

Says Tim Collier, strategic director, Connecting Plots: “I’m so pleased to be working with [yellow tail].
