For Citadelle and Planteray we also work directly with the brand owner, creating the organic content for the Italian social media pages: the brand's global message, rewritten so that it sounds natural to people drinking in Italy.

WHAT WE DO
Meta campaigns for three brands,
organic content with the
Citadelle and Planteray brand owners

Compagnia dei Caraibi is an Italian importer and distributor of fine spirits. It brings to Italy brands born elsewhere, each with a history, an aesthetic and a way of speaking that are already very well defined.

For some of these brands it also runs the Italian social media profiles. And this is where it gets delicate. The content comes from the brand owner, in English or French, designed for the whole world. In Italy it has to feel as if it were written here, while staying true to the brand's voice.

The goal: Grow three international brands in Italy with communication that sounds local while staying true to each one's voice, and deliver measurable results from the campaigns.

How we work

Our work for Compagnia dei Caraibi

A GIN, A RUM,
A BOURBON

Three brands with very different personalities. For all three we run the social media campaigns, and for two of them we work side by side with the people who created the brand.

01Citadelle Gin

FRENCH GIN
WITH AN ITALIAN ACCENT

For Citadelle Gin we work directly with the brand owner in France: we create the organic content for the Italian social media page and run the paid campaigns on Facebook and Instagram.

We take the brand's global message and rewrite it in a warm, light tone that makes you want to taste it: the picnic with strawberry Citadelle Rouge, the lemonade for the world day with Jardin d'Été. A gin told well should let you smell the juniper even through a screen.

02Planteray Rum

FROM BARBADOS
TO THE ITALIAN PAGES

For Planteray Rum too we work with the brand owner: organic content for the Planteray Rum Italia page and paid campaigns on Facebook and Instagram.

We tell the story of the double ageing between Barbados and France, the Planteray XO 20th Anniversary, and the cocktails that made history, like the Mai Tai. It is content rich in history and technique, written so that people who are only just discovering rum will read it too.

Translating is easy. Making an international brand
sound Italian
is another craft altogether.

03Jefferson's Bourbon

BOURBON
FROM KENTUCKY

For Jefferson's Bourbon we run the paid campaigns on Facebook and Instagram in Italy: audiences chosen among whisky and cocktail lovers, messages built around the character of a Kentucky bourbon.

04Campaigns and reports

EVERY CAMPAIGN,
A NUMBER TO READ

The Meta campaigns for the three brands follow each one's calendar: launches, special days, drinking seasons. Some lead to online retailers and Amazon, in special projects shared with other brands from the distributor.

We measure everything with regular reports, shared with Compagnia dei Caraibi and the brand owners, and we propose the next ideas based on the Italian data, within each brand's global rules.
