Belvedere — Made with Nature

Brand strategy, brand expression, concepting, creative direction 

Meaningful storytelling to create connections was key to enabling LVMH’s premium Polish vodka to speak to its discerning audience.

Consulting on a wide reaching project to create authentically aligned cultural moments, we took Belvedere’s Made With Nature philosophy, and developed a full toolkit to allow the brand to tell stories with partnered talent.

This positions the brand as a premium, yet thoughtful, compelling and creative storyteller. Using the toolkit, we creatyed and produced several campaigns with relevant, true-to-brand talent, as natural pieces of the brand world.

Collaborating with singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas, we explored how she finds a moment of composure and stillness amongst her busy schedule. Desiring to tell an authentic story and give insight, we discussed at length how nature is always a point of grounding and provides peace for her, and how her childhood favourite mango is a lifting comfort food.

From these insights, Belvedere provided us with the perfect accompanying serve, which we recorded Lianne preparing.
