Our goal was to shift the brand perception of Martell VSOP by encouraging a different level of engagement. We invited young Singaporeans to come up with a business idea good enough to fill The Ultimate Start-Up Space. The winner would receive The Space rent-free for six months to start their new business. Instead of using traditional paid media channels the campaign focused on igniting social media networks to create conversation. This brand-driven narrative struck a chord with our audience and quickly found its way into the heart of these blogs, forums and portals.
