The Belgian Touch

Client Stella Artois
Agency Momentum
Role Creative Director

The brief

Create a trade and consumer platform that would drive reappraisal of Stella Artois - addressing the disconnect between the brand’s positioning and customer perceptions of the product.

The Belgian Touch, a campaign leveraging Stella Artois' authentic modern Belgian identity to reconnect with a travel-hungry millennial audience – and tell the brand story in an emotionally resonant way, linking it to key cultural touchpoints such as craft, food and creativity.

The campaign told the stories of artisanal small businesses in Belgium, creating editorial content around the brand that on-trade buyers and managers could identify with.
