I have worked with Charles Communications for over a decade. The thing that I have always appreciated about Kimberly and her group is their ability to understand and embrace brands ranging from high end single vineyard projects to brands built to scale. They understand the different objectives these brands are created for, and build marketing and communication plans around these objectives. They listen, they comment and then they execute. They have become part of the Hooligan team.
