Alison serves as CEO and Alex holds the title and responsibility of head winemaker. They share the responsibility and title of co-presidents.
Sokol Blosser values align seamlessly with Cascade’s philosophy and values were delighted to continue to work with an organization that has similar ideals.

The strategy

Sokol Blosser has been expanding their marketing efforts and a piece of the puzzle was a new website. With a brand refresh having taken place in 2018 it was time to refresh their website and take a look at their evolving needs.
While a large focus of the site was a need to be visually compelling, promote the Sokol Blosser brand and sell wine; there were several other factors to take into consideration. One being accessibility. Sokol Blosser is committed to ensuring all users enjoy a positive experience when navigating the site. Further, wineries around the United States are being served with lawsuits which claim that their websites are not accessible to all users. Integrating accessibility into the strategy process is now best practice at Cascade when planning the user experience and layout of content on the site accessibility was at the forefront.

The solution:

After completing a more traditional but thorough discovery and wireframing phase it was time to partner with Portland agency Cyphon Design to flesh out the look and feel and develop the site.
Cascade took the lead in strategy and project management while the Cyphon team flawlessly executed upon a fantastic brand translation and flexible development solution which exceeded client expectations.
