Case study: Be Cointreauversial The brief: Cointreau sought to increase the international desirability of its brand, particularly amongst 30-40 year old women and to distinguish it from competitors. The exhibition was to connect with consumers and create a unique Cointreau experience and mindset around the world. Sample caption: The solution: Gallery researchers worked closely with Cointreau to select imagery of from across all eras and sectors. remarkable women Cointreau s corporate colour was used throughout the Gallery to pick out key words and messages in the captions, frame the window pictures and produce bespoke cocktails and canapés. Product images were printed onto the speaker covers and products placed in each window together with corporate branding throughout. Flaming torches on either side of the door contributed to the dramatic atmosphere.
The result: In London a high profile private view with celebrity attendance produced considerable press and pr. Two sets of the exhibition were printed, allowing one to tour the Far East and one to tour the UK and US, giving maximum exposure in Cointreau s desired markets. The exhibition was edited to allow smaller venues to exhibit a selection of imagery. Promotional events were held at cocktail bars in major cities around the UK, a pop up gallery was created in a Shanghai mall as well as a bespoke cocktail bar at the Toronto Film Festival.
Case study: TAG Heuer The brief: TAG Heuer wished to celebrate 60 years of their Carrera watch and the company s long association with motor racing. The solution: Gallery researchers presented a range of imagery to the guest curators, Jay Kay and Nick Foulkes, covering key events and personalities. Where possible, TAG branding appeared in the images. Each Gallery window was branded to ensure TAG s logo appeared in all arrivals pictures and the logo was also projected onto the pavement outside. Images were framed in specially designed aluminium frames together with a selection of watches. Steve McQueen s Porsche from Le Mans and the current Carrera were displayed outside the Gallery. A further private event for key Moet et Chandon clients was held.
The result: A high profile launch with Jack Heuer, Jay Kay and other celebrities produced major press coverage in newspapers and magazines throughout the month. Moet et Chandon hired the Gallery for an evening event for their key clients. Imagery from the exhibition was also displayed in the windows of Selfridges and Watches of Switzerland. TAG Heuer were so pleased with the resulting footfall and press that a second exhibition was commissioned.
