context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although widely recognized for its exceptional quality and distinctive character, Quebec ice cider is often reserved for celebrations and special occasions. To encourage more spontaneous consumption, the Producteurs de cidre du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a> entrusted Franchir with developing an awareness campaign showcasing five certified IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) ice ciders while highlighting their versatility and the many occasions to enjoy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Secure <\/mark><\/strong>meaningful media exposure to increase awareness of Quebec ice cider.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To achieve these objectives, Franchir developed a two-pronged strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Creating an immersive and memorable experience<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On March 25, Franchir hosted an exclusive tasting event for nearly 30 media representatives and content creators. Hosted by Anne-Andr\u00e9e Daneau, the evening offered guests a fully immersive introduction to the world of Quebec ice cider, proving that ice cider is far more versatile than many imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every detail was designed to spark curiosity and inspire content creation: a striking scenography featuring bottles embedded in ice blocks, floral installations, a food and ice cider pairing menu curated in collaboration with Pierre-Olivier Trempe of Made with Love and Caf\u00e9 Pista, and signature cocktails showcasing the product’s unique character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Expanding the experience beyond the even<\/strong><\/em>t<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To maximize the campaign’s reach, Franchir developed four personalized gift boxes tailored to different audience profiles: Cocktail, Gourmet, Escape and Discovery. Ahead of the event, each guest received a personalized scratch-off invitation by mail revealing which themed box they would collect during the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These curated gift boxes helped sustain interest well beyond the event, encouraged additional content creation, and engaged media and content creators who were unable to attend in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, targeted media relations efforts were deployed to share visual assets, key campaign messages and interview opportunities with spokesperson Bertrand Deltour, a Quebec ice cider producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Franchir’s integrated campaign successfully extended the experience beyond the event, generating strong visibility across media outlets, content creators and their respective communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
