Tone And Messaging
- Argento is one of those products that has a very simple story. It is entwined with its country of origin in the same way that Peroni beer is intrinsically Italian, Evian is French and Vegimite is Australian. When you buy Argento you buy Argentina and when we sell Argento we sell Argentina.
- The characteristics of the wine are very Argentine and drinking it is like drinking-in Argentina. It is sophisticated, real, proud, sociable, expressive, vibrant and stirring. Argento represents a wonderful opportunity for the uneducated or educated wine drinker to enjoy a sophisticated drink that carries lots of exciting and emotive cultural associations; itβs a glass of (Argentine) life.
- To bring the Argento brand to life, we need to understand what it is like, what it cares about and the experience that consumers have when they engage with it.
- the Art of living An optimistic and passionate respect for life and the things that really matter.
- A glAss of Argentine life β An enriching experience from a glass of Argentine life.
- Internal search and external discovery (a desire to learn who they are and connect to people/brands that help them navigate the world).
- What will we never compromise? Craft, Natural Resources, Generosity, Pleasure, Friendship, Cultural Identity, Authenticity.
- What is the brand like to meet at a party? Sophisticated, Real, Proud, Sociable, Expressive, Vibrant, Stirring.
