To engage enhance consumer engagement with travelers in China, the release was promoted via targeted digital communications, an interactive activation and bespoke branding and displays in airports. The educational gamification experience allowed shoppers to explore the craftsmanship, expertise and emotion of Maison Martell’s signature blend and offered the opportunity to win a visit to Château Chanteloup, the spiritual home of the Martell family since 1838.
