“We’ve had great success with our last two Super Bowl commercials, but are looking forward to bringing in a new perspective,” said Iain Douglass, Chief Marketing Officer, Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits. “Maureen and The BAM Connection’s experience are an exact fit for what we’re looking for – a partner that will help us transcend a crowded category and reach new audiences.”

 

The BAM Connection’s founders, Maldari and her business partner Chief Creative Officer Rob Baiocco, are both highly-regarded creative heavyweights with broad experience in the advertising industry and in the spirits and wine category in particular, having previously worked on Captain Morgan, Crown Royal, Brockmans Gin, Santa Margherita and The Federalist.
