Meet Judith Lewis, a favourite guest at Wine Behind the Scenes and also the co-host of our "Wonky Wine Term" segment. Judith is a digital marketing guru with a taste for pixels and pinot.
When she's not decoding algorithms, she's decoding the subtle notes of a fine Shiraz. As a board member of the Academy of Chocolate, she knows the sweet spot between cocoa and click-through rates. With a palate sharper than her SEO skills, she judges international wine competitions—because analyzing data isn't thrilling enough.
Between optimizing websites and sipping Cabernet Sauvignon, Judith's passport is as well-stamped as her LinkedIn endorsements. Rumour has it she once boosted a Malbec's social media presence just by staring at it. Some say she can predict website traffic like she predicts the next big vintage. So, if you spot someone at 30,000 feet, sipping wine, typing furiously on a laptop, and giggling at a marketing report, it's probably Judith—jet-setting, wine-tasting, and making SEO sexy, one algorithm at a time.
