Project type
Branded content hub

Context
A bespoke editorial platform created to position Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle as an icon of craftsmanship, time, and precision. The project invited readers into the philosophy, ritual, and technical mastery behind the cuvée, framing luxury through narrative depth rather than overt product messaging.

Approach
Defined an experiential storytelling framework that balanced heritage with contemporary elegance. The direction prioritised atmosphere, restraint, and cinematic photography, allowing ritual, materiality, and process to lead the narrative while the interface supported flow, clarity, and immersion.

Deliverables
A long-form editorial hub featuring ten in-depth stories exploring the philosophy of Grand Siècle — from time composition and cellar craft to bottle design and glassware — supported by commissioned photography. The platform was extended through a suite of digital display assets including MPUs, half pages, and leaderboards to maximise reach and recall across FT environments.
