SUMMARY
Clos du Bois was struggling to recruit younger drinkers for two reasons. One, it was just another boring Chardonnay. Second, Chardonnay has an image problem: society thinks of it as an old person’s wine. We chose to embrace that reputation. Through our campaign, we helped destigmatize aging by celebrating badass, older people who love Chardonnay. Our effort won over younger and older audiences, and reversed a three-year decline by growing volume by 16.6%.
