The Brief

Castello is a Danish brand of Cheese. Innovation, tradition and the art of making cheese have been the trademark of the company for over 120 years. Castello now wants to tackle the US market, and wanted to find a way to have Americans taste their quality cheeses, starting with New York, where a Castello shop was recently opened.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

For several days Castello held a unique event in the New York Grand Central station; Eat the Art: a pop-up museum with classical still life paintings, recreated with real ingredients. People were invited to eat the paintings. Every painting contained a different type of Castello cheese. Who tasted the cheeses also got a word of explanation and received a souvenir postcard with more info on where to buy Castello products.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

Of the 500.000 people who passed through Grand Central nearly 40.000 tried one of the cheeses. On top of that the event got 27.060.382 earned media impressions.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Apart from letting New York foodies taste our the Castello quality cheese we also had to create talk value.
