Georges Dubœuf, a name synonymous with the Beaujolais category, known for turning Beaujolais Nouveau into the international phenomenon it remains today, is launching a captivating new US campaign
November 7th – The platform and tagline are a cheeky play on words. Nouveau is the first wine of the vintage to be released, and it is not meant to be aged. Additionally, even decades after its launch, the anticipated annual release is a joyful celebration around the world every 3rd Thursday in November.
It Never Gets Old is being rolled out by Georges Dubœuf’s US importer, Quintessential, in partnership with Teuwen, An Evins Communications Company. The program aims to welcome younger drinkers, and those new to wine, to the festive nature of the Nouveau category and the heritage, quality and vibrancy of Georges Dubœuf Beaujolais Nouveau.
Pillars of the new campaign include:
- Creative: Working with leading design agency, Marine Lane, to bring the concept to life, showcasing Georges Dubœuf Beaujolais Nouveau and other items that never get old: good food, good music and good company. This new identity is expressed across photography, logo, color palette, typography, graphic styling and iconography.
- Social: Given the core target audience and inherently social aspect of this wine, the campaign focuses on the digital community through Instagram collaborations. With the themes of “Like Good Friends, Beaujolais Nouveau Never Gets Old” and “Classic Combinations,” influencers will capture the Georges Dubœuf Beaujolais Nouveau characteristics and the attributes that never get old.
- Media: Outreach to long-time fans in the wine media will continue as well as targeting new audiences with an infographic that will amplify the campaign’s visual storytelling and continue its playful and engaging tone.
