It is part of a new multi-media campaign Always Stay True which will launch globally in November 2011.

Evolving from the existing ‘Jacob’s Creek True Character’ platform, the new campaign delivers a specific message about the importance of always staying true to yourself.

“We’ve always stayed true to our heritage, our values and our passion for making great tasting quality wines,” says Jo Adamo, global marketing director of Jacob’sCreek. “Through this campaign we want to celebrate people who share our belief in staying true.”

The campaign features an emotive and engaging 30 second TVC directed by David Deneen, one of Australia’s most acclaimed film directors, against the track ‘Don’t Say’ by Scars on 45.

The TVC celebrates people who always stay true: through being genuine, knowing what’s important to them, living life to the full and following their passions.

The campaign also includes print advertising and point of sale, and will evolve over the coming months to include digital and social media executions to drive deeper consumer engagement, such as ‘The True Character Series’ in which consumers are invited to submit stories of real people who always stay true.

Says Adamo: “We are excited by this new phase of our True Character platform for Jacob’s Creek. The new campaign aims to encourage re-appraisal of the Jacob’s Creek brand and increase awareness of our premium range – Jacob’s Creek Reserve.”

The new marketing campaign is being launched a month after Jacob’s Creek was ranked third in the World’s Most Admired Wine Brand poll by Drinks International magazine.

Key market activations include:

– Pernod Ricard Australia, who will air the new 30 second TVC in January throughout the Australian Open, of which Jacob’s Creek is an Associate sponsor.

– And the UK, where the new advert will air for one month on Channel 4, Sky, ITV2 and Channel 5 during prime-time TV programs that appeal to the UK target consumer, such as Jamie’s Great Britain, Secret Millionaire and Come Dine With Me.
