Ciroc Limonata - Escape with Flavor

The Cîroc Limonata campaign, developed by the lead creative agency for Cîroc, draws inspiration from the Italian food culture and lifestyle, embodying the essence of La Dolce Vita. The campaign is centered around the introduction of Cîroc Limonata, an elevated lemonade vodka that offers an escape to the Mediterranean without the need for a plane ticket. The bottle design, featuring a simple transparent frosted glass and muted yellow liquid, is a nod to Italian fashion, with unmistakable stripes and a bold yellow capsule that demands attention on-shelf.

The campaign's headline, "Escape with Flavor," encourages consumers to take a transformative journey with Cîroc Limonata. The narrative was brought to life through a video shot in Capri, Italy, directed by Executive Creative Director Pierre Delebois. The video depicts a group of friends showcasing their unapologetic self-expression and energy while on vacation, challenging the norms of the spirits category and introducing a new dimension of playful luxury.

Photographer Yulia Gorbachenko captured still assets that complemented the video, highlighting the brand's diversity and the rich Italian culture. The campaign featured a range of talent, including Antonio, an infamous figure in Italy known for his "Tutto Passa" tattoo, who was specifically sought after for the campaign.

The Cîroc Limonata campaign was widely disseminated across the U.S. and Europe through various channels, including broadcast TV, with the ad airing seven times during the Grammys, out-of-home advertising featuring a Super Bowl takeover in Las Vegas, paid digital/social media, and experiential retail events. The campaign successfully leveraged Italian culture and fashion to create a product design that disrupted the industry and provided a unique and immersive brand experience for consumers.
