Allison Markin
Head maven of All She Wrote Consulting, developing social media marketing strategies for the cultural tourism sector; based in the Okanagan Valley, BC, an emerging wine and culinary destination. My wine personality on Twitter is @okanagantaste, and I've studied enough wine to pass the challenging Wine and Spirit Education Trust advanced certificate. <Studying wine is hard, truly, it is.>
I've run successful social media campaigns for Okanagan Feast of Fields, the Naramata Bench Wineries Association, the Osoyoos Celebrity Wine Festival the Downtown Penticton Association and more, including writing for Wineries Refined of the Okanagan and other publications. I give my volunteer time to the Penticton Art Gallery as a member of the board, and pro bono time to the BC Cultural Crawl.
My cats have their own fans under the hashtag #coupdeschats as they attempt to take over the world. I can't cook. I know way too much trivia about music from the '80s.
That's All She Wrote.
