"Merchandising Program, Mumm Cuvee Napa"


Marketing Parameters/ Creative Solution

This two-tiered consumer and trade merchandising campaign was created to increase the sales of the brand by demystifying and humanizing sparkling wine as an upscale beverage with mass buyer appeal. We created a whimsical, wry copy tone and fun, sophisticated visuals to convey the message that sparkling wine is a festive drink "anytime" not just for special occasions.
