Aaron Kendeall

Owner @Distiller\'s Cut Media Group

Pittsburgh, PA, US

I began working as a journalist in 2008 and started a journey in public relations and marketing — with a focus on the drinks industry — in 2013.Over the decades, I have worked in nearly every capacity within the alcohol industry — including whiskey distiller, brand ambassador, marketing manager, public relations strategist and brand consultant. I’ve teamed up with Master Sommeliers and Master Distillers to help educate people about the science that goes into alcohol production. And I’ve worked with startup brands to turn local enthusiasm into national recognition.As a consultant, I am able to offer a wide variety of services to a diverse set of clientele. Check out some highlights: • Chief Marketing Officer – Diversity Distilled – Board member of an organization focused on diversity and inclusion within the distilled spirits space. • Panelist – 2021 Tales of the Cocktail convention. • Public Relations Consultant – Molecular Influence – Public relations and media engagement for book launch. • Contributor – Publications include Wine Enthusiast, Savor & Sips, Gentlemen Ranters and other well-known outlets.• Several pre-launch projects cannot be disclosed due to client confidentiality but will be going public soon. It’s been on a strange journey. Luckily, the booze biz is a large and dynamic industry built for people with eclectic tastes.
