RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The agency made a large research and had a close cooperation and relationship with the client in order to be able to develop this new concept that began with the auction of this luxurious and unique packaging.
CHALLENGE: This a tribute to Waterloo Battle and intends to honour the Porto Ferreira founder, Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, which has always shown deep social and charitable concerns. This special edition was auctioned by Sotheby's in the Tower of London in May 2015 and went down in history as the most expensive Vintage wine auctioned. All of the proceeds went to APELA (Portuguese Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association), reinforcing the solidarity of Sogrape Vinhos, the company that owns the Porto Ferreira brand.
