Repositioning a Classic for a New Generation
Cream Sherry has long been viewed through outdated stereotypes, often perceived as a drink for elderly English ladies or vicars. Chelsea Co took on the challenge of transforming this perception with the campaign “Grandma Was Right.” By flipping the cliché, the campaign turned a tired trope into a bold conversation starter to engage a younger audience.

The Sweet Art of Reinvention: Cream Sherry Sunset
A standout feature of the campaign was the introduction of the Cream Sherry Sunset cocktail, a modern, refreshing take on the traditional drink. Served over ice with an orange wheel, it evokes a Spanish sunset, appealing to younger consumers unfamiliar with Sherry. Pairing it with modern food experiences and cocktail recipes showcased Sherry’s diversity and versatility beyond the old-fashioned image many consumers hold.
