Description of the Project:
The challenge: Even though Hawesko is Germany’s leading champagne and wine retailer, most people don’t really know Hawesko. We wanted to change that by creating an unseen media spectacle to celebrate Hawesko’s 50th birthday. Our idea: We avenge the countless champagne bottles that have been smashed against ship’s hulls at ship christenings. Therefore, we built the world’s largest champagne bottle and this time we turned the tables and smashed a ship against it. We called it “The Revenge of the Champagne”. More than 300 customers, celebrities, partners and friends of Hawesko were invited to an exclusive party. Then, we teased the public with a trailer, social media postings and a microsite on which people could vote for the avenge to make it happen at all, name the ship and watch the event via a live stream.
