Gosia is a Polish-born, South African-raised marketer and copywriter, currently living and working in Cape Town. She established Gosh! Wine Marketing in 2018 to help bridge the gap between digital marketing and wine brands. Her passion for wine started in 2012 during a semester abroad at the Grande école Sciences Po Paris. As an exchange student, she spontaneously enrolled in a course on 'French Terroir Wines and the Global Market'. Guided by exceptional lecturers through Paris's finest wine bars, she learned to discern aroma profiles and distinguish between various wine styles. This experience profoundly influenced her academic path, leading her to graduate cum laude and top of her class with a Masters in Media from the University of Cape Town in 2013.
Inspired by her time in Paris, Gosia co-created 'Generation Wine', a 45-minute thesis documentary that won 'Best Wine Documentary' at the 2014 International Oenovideo Festival in Paris.
Thirsty for more wine knowledge, she pursued a scholarship for a second master's degree - an MSc in Wine Business from the Burgundy School of Business in Dijon, France, graduating cum laude and top of her class in 2015. Gosia established Gosh! Wine Marketing in 2018 with the mission to blend her love for wine with the art of storytelling to create impactful narratives that resonate with consumers and elevate brands.
