Project main image
Introduction

The most sought-after premium liquor you have never heard of.

As the national liquor of China since 1951, Moutai’s history can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and while it is officially the most valuable liquor brand in the world, few in the U.S. have tried or even heard of it. For hundred of years, the vivid story of Moutai has been passed from generation to generation, elevating Moutai as one of the most prestigious brands in China. We have the opportunity to tell that story to the West.

Process

The Law of the Few.

A prestigious brand like Moutai deserves a campaign that is equally luxurious. But that experience just might not be for everyone. To successfully introduce the story of Moutai to the West, we designed an exclusive, and luxurious integrated marketing experience for the select few - starting with the affluents in one of the most progressive cities in the West - Los Angeles.

"Name the most sought-after premium liquor in the world" - On the streets of Westside Los Angeles - the mega city of luxurious brands, we generated conversations and curiosity about the most sought-after premium liquor.

"A gateway from East to West" - Inside the terminal of one of the world's busiest airports, we elevated the position of Moutai as one of China's national treasures to both local affluents and international travelers.

"The story of Moutai" - Through an integrated digital storytelling platform on social, mobile and the web, we inspired curiosity and engagement by telling the story behind Moutai's rich history.

"Moutai Sensorium" - A multi-sensory event designed for Los Angeles' affluents to experience the romance of Moutai at the top of the tallest building in Downtown Los Angeles"Moutai Sensorium" - A multi-sensory event designed for Los Angeles' affluents to experience the romance of Moutai at the top of the tallest building in Downtown Los Angeles.
