INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION

INTERNING AT JACKSON FAMILY WINES

We’ve hosted students from nearby Sonoma State University, as well as from as far away

as Virginia Tech, Emory University and University of Chicago. Interns work in the areas of

marketing, finance, supply chain and more. They receive career training from our Employee

Experience team, including courses on building their personal brand and projecting

confidence, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the wine business, from vine to glass.

To ensure we attract students from a variety of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, all

interns are paid a competitive wage. Graduate interns receive pay commensurate with their

professional experience.

Through this program we are fostering future leaders at Jackson Family Wines, including

Anna Rogge. A graduate of Sonoma State University with a concentration in wine business

strategies, Anna interned during the summer of 2016 in our supply planning department.

After her internship, Anna began a part-time job in our Siduri Wines tasting room and today

works full-time as an International Marketing Coordinator. Focusing on wines crafted by

vigneron Pierre Seillan, Anna works with her colleagues to promote wines both domestically

and internationally.

After researching different wine businesses, working at

Jackson Family Wines became my dream. The wine quality

was impressive, and I especially liked how La Crema and

Kendall-Jackson wineries were relatable for someone who

was just finishing college. I ’ve learned so much about the

importance of sustainability and integrity while working

for this company.

SPOTLIGHT: Pierre Seillan

Gascony-born Pierre Seillan

makes terroir-driven wines

recognized by the world’s top

wine critics for their superlative

expression. This includes the

daughter Hélène to create

Cenyth, a Sonoma County

Bordeaux blend.

OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

In 2016, we launched an internship program to build a pipeline of candidates to

become the next generation of leaders at Jackson Family Wines. To date, we have

hosted 16 interns, both undergrads and those seeking graduate degrees, from

universities throughout the U.S. Read on to learn about how the program has

benefited all involved — and how we’re trying something new in 2018.

At Net Impact, we empower the emerging leaders in our network through programs that give them the opportunity

to be at the forefront of social change. Kendall-Jackson is an iconic brand in an incredibly important sector of the

environmental discussion — agriculture. This competition gives our teams a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes to

learn not just about marketing, but about everything that goes into making wine sustainable, from vine to glass.

WHAT WE’RE DRINKING THIS MONTH:

NEW INTERNSHIP FORMAT FOR 2018: KENDALL-JACKSON AND NET IMPACT BUSINESS CASE COMPETITION

In 2018, we wanted to structure our internships

to showcase the Jackson family’s commitment to

sustainability and make a case for leveraging our

significant sustainability progress into the core

pillars of Jackson Family Wines’ flagship winery,

Kendall-Jackson. We turned to Net Impact, a

global student network of more than 100,000

emerging leaders focused on making a positive

change in the workplace, to create a partnership.

Together we collaborated on a sustainability

case competition that invites Net Impact chapter

teams to create and submit marketing campaigns

that communicate Kendall-Jackson’s significant

sustainability progress and innovation to reach

new consumers. Specifically, the campaigns are

required to integrate Kendall-Jackson’s attributes of family, heritage and quality that have established it as the number one

selling Chardonnay for 25 years running.

After multiple rounds, the competition will culminate with three final teams that will present their marketing plans to

Kendall-Jackson’s Executive Committee on March 16th. One team will take the gold medal, and two students from the winning

team will be selected for internships in marketing and sustainability this summer.

Kendall-Jackson has an incredibly loyal consumer, and we work hard to deliver a fantastic glass of wine to them year after year. It’s

important that we tell the sustainability story of Kendall-Jackson in a way that resonates with our evolving consumer, so we figured we’d

go straight to the source. The Net Impact professionals are smart, motivated, and they understand the challenge at hand.
