Piper-Heidsieck, recognized as the most awarded Champagne house of the century, is launching a cinematic advertising campaign titled 'Twist the Script.' This initiative highlights the brand's history of innovation and its approach to defying conventional norms.
Renowned artist and photographer Miles Aldridge illustrates Piper-Heidsieck’s legacy through cinematic scenes emphasizing its pioneering spirit. Notable elements include "a depiction of the prohibition era, during which the Champagne house disguised cases of Piper-Heidsieck as books to navigate delivery restrictions in New York." The campaign also features actress Marilyn Monroe, who exemplifies individuality; she became a producer and established her own company, breaking traditional industry norms.
The 'Twist the Script' campaign will be represented "through a mural in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and promoted across Piper-Heidsieck’s channels, alongside paid digital and print media, supported by influencer marketing."
