GRANT BURGE
Grant Burge, an iconic Australian wine brand from Barossa, has long been recognised for creating generous wines that inspire generosity in others. With a heritage rooted in exceeding expectations, Grant Burge engaged Connected to launch their new premium red wine, striving to make a bold impression in a crowded market with limited creative resources.
The primary challenge was to cut through the clutter of the competitive wine industry with a modest budget and constrained creative resources – reaching relevant audiences with their newest red wine product. The insight driving the campaign was clear: personalisation has the power to drive engagement and brand recall effectively.
By focusing on dynamic video creative and leveraging premium programmatic inventory, Grant Burge and Connected set a benchmark for launching products within a tight budget, proving that creativity and innovation need not be limited by resource constraints. This initiative underscores Grant Burges’ commitment to not only crafting fine wines but also pioneering marketing campaigns that resonate with their audience's diverse tastes and experiences.

Strategy

The strategy was multifaceted, considering different audience segments, occasions for wine consumption (like gifting or celebrations), days of the week, weather conditions affecting palate preference, and time of day.
The dynamic approach allowed hundreds of creative iterations to be executed with minimal additional investment, each tailored to specific user contexts.
