Background
We transitioned this iconic brand, founded in 1781, into the digital era using compelling content & influencer outreach.
Cardenal Mendoza had relied on the heritage of its name and loyal consumers for many years; however sales were stagnating, prompting them to seek our expertise to re-invigorate the brand with their existing consumers and a new, younger audience.

Strategy
As part of a fresh, contemporary content marketing campaign we developed an audience strategy that uses creative editorial to associate the brand with aspirational experiences.
At the same time we demonstrated the artisanal and historic qualities of one of Spain’s most popular brandies through the development of the C Factor. Some drinks have the X Factor but Cardenal Mendoza has the C Factor!

Social Media
Because the brand had never been represented on digital platforms before, we paid close attention to how the community was talking about brandy as a category and over time evolved the content strategy to reflect this:
C + C = Cardenal Mendoza C Factor
Cardenal Mendoza, with its warm, balanced flavour and intense finish, pairs beautifully with cigars, chocolate, coffee, and other liquors to create innovative and exciting cocktails.
In less than 15 months we built an active, engaged, global community across both Facebook and Instagram while inspiring more than 3000 original posts using the hashtag #cardenalmendoza.
