Agency Copacino + Fujikado and Production Company The New Blank Create New Campaign For Broadcast & Social
The unbridled spirit of Washington, winery 14 Hands comes alive in a new campaign created by full-service production company The New Blank for agency Copacino + Fujikado. 14 Hands’ origin is rooted in a love of horses and, as the preferred wine of the Kentucky Derby, festiveness is in it’s core. So even if you live in Denver, you can transform any get-together into an animated celebration – fascinators and unicorn masks encouraged.
Working closely with agency Copacino + Fujikado, The New Blank created the confab-to-celebration in “Chillhang” using a blend of live action comedic performance and motion graphics designed to stand out in a crowded content landscape. Connecting with audiences on broadcast and social platforms was integral to the creative concept and production approach, with over 20 deliverables in a variety of formats produced in just over two weeks.
14 Hands takes winemaking seriously – from cultivating to production, with an eye to sustainable practices. But when it comes to making an impression and enjoying wine, preciousness and pretensions are banished. From portable (and on point) wine cans, to Pinot Grigio that pairs well with music, and a smooth red blend named Hot To Trot, 14 Hands fits any mood and moment.

Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And it’s not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. There’s a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, it’s surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it “fits.” Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with what’s trending but is out of tune with brand identity. Effective sonic branding, by contrast, requires thoughtful strategic planning,... Read More
