strategy/positioning: where is my hennessy sidecar?

June 6, 2009 by ceftandcompany

cognac used to be perceived as an old man’s drink. with new cocktails invented and introduced by our mixologist, we also had to find a way to share them at appropriate venues. as part of an effort to open up accounts that traditionally did not serve cognac we hired a band of out-of-job actors and actresses and sent them out to select bars to order the “hennessy side car”. upon hearing that they did not carry hennessy at that particular bar they would leave and go to the next bar on their list. a few weeks later the hennessy account representative would of course happen to show up. this was just part of how the legacy of mixed hennessy cognac was born and became one of the best selling…

June 5, 2009 by ceftandcompany

these free postcards were placed at various cafes and bars in appropriate displays. the mirror surface on the front of each card reflected the viewer’s face over words such as flirt, spontaneous, rebel and charmer. this was just one of the many pieces in the alternative media campaign designed for hennessy. view all work related […]

June 5, 2008 by ceftandcompany

custom-designed coasters in hennessy’s campaign blue signature color with words like flirt, stubborn, muse, klutz and instigator. the coasters were low key and curious enough to make you want to turn them over, thus “discovering” the brand rather than having them sell to you. consumers and bartenders loved the coasters, they exuded a level of […]
