good things About us
Allison Day
As a California transplant by the way of the Midwest, Allison Day believes that a well made meal can turn the day around. Hungry people are her favorite people, whether it's for great food or great ideas. As an early adopter of social media platforms, Allison has been knee deep in social media and content development for close to 10 years. From the Napa Valley destination marketing world to the food crowdfunding world, she is now the go-to girl for planning and executing all things social media and content. She founded Good Things, Done Right in 2015 when she saw a demand for more authentic voices and straight forward work ethic in the marketing world.
Allison is the creative director and manages both client relationships and develops best-in-class content programs that allow brands to make meaningful connections with audiences through storytelling, digital best practices and effective activations.
Clay Newton
For the last twenty-five years, Clay Newton has been riding the zeitgeist as it evolves and new technologies and trends come to pass. Clay has worked as a product strategist, creative director, design director, individual contributor, product designer and web developer in organizations from startup to massive corporations. At GTDR, Clay leads graphic design, web design, product strategy and technical efforts.
DRIA BUTLER
After studying viticulture and enology at UC Davis, Dria found that drinking wine and marketing wine was her dream career. She's never done a harvest but instead has been working in digital marketing with an emphasis on direct-to-consumer since 2018.
Dria brings a deeply rooted passion for wine and an understanding of the industry to bridge the gap between wine marketing and winemaking. She's worked in Perth, Western Australia, studied winemaking in Dijon, France, and explored the whole wine world - now living and flourishing in Sonoma County. With hopes of moving back to her hometown of Seattle, WA.
She loves an em dash — since she's never mastered the semi-colon. As a consumer, she's obsessed with good branding, small producers, innovative marketing, and Lambrusco. Her favorite wine region is Margaret River. She spends time with her sweet pup, Frankie, who loves NYT Cooking and romance novels.
Annie Wold
Annie works out of Portland to support the team with editing, scheduling, and design. As a professional neat freak who loves to support small businesses, managing social media for Napa Valley local communities is the perfect fit. Annie excels at ensuring uniformity and consistency across all our client’s content channels, including but not limited to digital marketing, social media and core brand projects.
Outside of cleaning for fun, Annie is passionate about other people’s pets, quiet time spent with a cozy book, video games, or craft projects, and iced tea. She also loves to escape to chilly Oregon beaches whenever possible.
LIly Shindle
Hailing from Canada, and residing in Napa for 14 years, Lily has been developing her career in hospitality, tourism and destination marketing for the past few years. Lily earned a degree from Cal Poly SLO in Hospitality and Tourism, with a concentration in Event Planning. Lucky to have worked in two of California's premium wine destinations, Napa Valley and Paso Robles, Lily also comes from a long line of Hospitality and Tourism professionals and so has grown up in that arena. To the GTDR team, Lily brings a creative light, with a boots on the ground well of knowledge about Napa Valley, and an ever-growing understanding of trends in social media and tourism travel. Along with Allison, Lily manages story and reel creation, influencer programs and writing.
Outside of her office time (from the tiny, sunlit desk in her home), Lily likes to stay active by hitting the gym, hiking with her beloved cat, Zeus, and putting her cooking skills to the test, satisfying her obsession with Asian cuisine.
Courtney Sadowski
Courtney writes for the team from nearby Marin County, where she resides with her husband and two cats. A trained linguist who has been narrating stories for as long as she can remember, Courtney not only obsesses over the sounds and meanings of words but how they resonate across a variety of audiences. Courtney leverages her skills as a writer for GTDR's clients ranging from wineries and wine brands to destination marketing and non-profits.
Outside of the office, she enjoys vigorous hikes, watching hilariously bad movies, and traveling the world whenever the opportunity arises.
Kailey O’Connor
Kay is based out of Portland, where she lives with her two hairless cats, her small dog, and her partner and curates content for the team. She is enthusiastically an extrovert. Her love of people and the need to understand them earned her a degree in psychology that she now uses to better appreciate clients and their audiences. Storytelling has been a lifelong passion. She harbors the belief that there's a little bit of magic in every sentence regardless of how mundane.
Outside of work, she can be found binge-watching Netflix, making friends with strangers, reading romance novels, or playing D&D with her friends. She is very invested in the color pink and expanding her cats' wardrobes.
