Brassfield Wine Enthusiast Campaign
Print Campaign | B2C
Brassfield Estate Winery is not your typical California winery. The stories began to unfold when the agency was introduced to the brand. The owner felt so strongly about forest conservation that when the initial trees were cleared to make the vineyard, they stacked, dried, and saved them to build the winery and hospitality center. The vineyard workers care so much about the wildlife that after seeing rabbits and deer snagged in wire fences, they remove all fencing around their entire 500+ acres. The estate manager, passionate about water use, installed 20 miles of pipe around the vineyards and dug a 100-acre water reservoir to collect rainwater. The winemaker is so particular about his craft that Brassfield is one of the very few wineries that is 100% estate produced – meaning no one has touched the wines except at the winery. Their team is like family; many have been with the winery for decades. Oh, and did we mention they also are located on and own their own volcano?
They are truly remarkable in every way, so we knew our ads had to be, too. Our campaign for the Wine Enthusiast set out to highlight those unique stories and declare that Brassfield Estate truly is “Above and Beyond.”

About the Davey Awards
The largest and most prestigious awards competition exclusively for the “Davids” of creativity.
David defeated the giant Goliath with a big idea and a little rock – the sort of thing small agencies do each year. The annual International Davey Awards honors the achievements of the “Creative Davids” who derive their strength from big ideas, rather than stratospheric budgets.
The Davey Awards may be for smaller companies, but the judges have big reputations. The Davey is sanctioned and judged by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from a “Who’s Who” of acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing firms.
AIVA members include executives from organizations such as Condé Nast, Disney, GE, Keller Crescent, Microsoft, Monster.com, MTV, Push., Publicis, Sesame Workshops, The Marketing Store, Worktank and Yahoo! and many more.
