James Hick, Cono Sur Senior Brand Manager in the UK
Perfectly Paired with the UK’1 No.1 lifestyle channel
With 74% of wine occasions featuring food, discerning consumers are more aware than ever of how carefully pairing a wine is paramount to taste and enjoyment of a meal overall.
Viña Cono Sur, the winery famed for its award-winning quality, innovation and sustainability credentials is delighted to announce a major new partnership pairing with Food Network. Idents will be shown on Food Network on prime time between 6pm and 9pm during popular cookery shows such as Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals, Jamie & Jimmy’s Friday Night Feast & Paul Hollywood’s City Bakes.
The new campaign will be shown over 6 months on Food Network, Sky and Video-on-Demand (VOD) online channels, targeting 25-44 year old ABC1 males and females. The campaign, the first for Cono Sur in the UK, reaches out to those wanting to learn more about the products on their dinner tables. Cono Sur Senior Brand Manager James Hick explains;
“These consumers are united by striving for great taste, from both their home cooked meals and also their choice of wine. They believe in the ‘craft’ philosophy where a human touch is important and less mass-produced, and they are looking for a wine to enrich those mid-week meals where that extra bit of care is taken.”
“Not only do we have our Bicycle icon now embossed on our new-look packaging, but we want consumers to understand how the bicycle is an integral part of everyday life in our vineyards”
Telling the Cono Sur Story
The 30 second advertisement, filmed in the Cono Sur vineyards in Chile, tells the winery’s story focusing on the famous bicycles which the Cono Sur workers use to travel around the estate, to protect the delicate balance of nature and produce the best quality grapes. It beautifully shows the value, and care, that goes into every bottle of the award-winning Bicicleta Pinot Noir and gives viewers a taste of the camarederie of the team as they sit down to eat together.
“We’re thrilled that Cono Sur wines will be partnering with the Food Network, a great pairing that will tell their story to 5.4 million foodies every month. Building on the reach and trusted environment of TV, the campaign will be further enhanced through digital, in-store and customer activations.”
