Perrier-Jouët’s latest campaign celebrates bubbles and blooms

Perrier-Jouët, France

Japan – Maison Perrier-Jouët’s latest campaign, Fill your World with Wonder, is an ode to flowers and the champagne producer’s close relationship with the living world.

Featuring French actor and director Mélanie Laurent, the campaign film’s opening sequence features the Japanese anemone, the House’s iconic emblem, symbolising the inspiration Maison Perrier-Jouët derives from nature and representing all essential flowers in our eco-system. The film was screened in a pop-up space in Tokyo, Japan, from 11 to 29 October 2023.

The campaign ties in with the launch of Maison Perrier-Jouët’s call for projects that help protect and promote local fauna and flora. Coordinated by the UNESCO World Heritage Champagne Hillsides, Houses and Cellars Mission, selected projects will be rolled out in 2024 with the aim to enrich the biodiversity of the Champagne region by establishing protected spaces and green corridors.

Rediscovering ancient Egypt with Snap’s AR activation at the Louvre

The Louvre and Snap, France

France – The Musée du Louvre has brought AR into the museum space in collaboration with Snap, presenting Egypt Augmented, a collection of AR experiences breathing life into artefacts from ancient Egypt.

Egypt Augmented consists of a five-part augmented reality experience, allowing visitors to scan a QR code and witness exhibits come to life digitally. The result allows deeper immersion in the world of ancient Egypt, featuring interactive explanations such as 3D reconstructions of missing elements and virtual restitution of colour. One of the animations is a digital representation of the obelisk in the centre of the museum’s Cour Carrée, the location it was originally destined for.

The experience reflects the museum’s ambitions to be a pioneer in adopting tech to elevate the visitor experience. ‘Snap’s AR is a very good way to enhance our capacity to explain what we are presenting,’ explains Vincent Rondo, who heads the Antiquities Department at the Louvre. ‘We have to enter the dance.’

Strategic opportunity

The Egypt Augmented activation is a prime example of how cultural institutions can use technologies to attract a younger demographic, while also introducing less tech-savvy audiences to augmented reality

Global – How are luxury consumers indulging? Forbes’ 2023 High Net Worth survey reveals how affluents celebrate success and what luxury goods and items they plan to invest in.

Forbes Research polled 250 men and women who own £1.6m ($2m, €1.9m) or more in investable assets to gather insights on the tastes and choices of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). When asked which purchase symbolises success and shows that they have ‘made it’, 52% cited designer clothes and watches, 47% high-end electronics, while 38% said premium spirits. While HNWIs have an appetite for luxury goods, 63% agree that understated luxury pieces are more desirable and serve as better status symbols than logo-heavy, recognisable items – a preference suggesting that there is a lasting demand for Quiet Luxury.

In our Luxury Recrafted macrotrend, we identified the Wealth is Woe driver, delving deeper into how the wealthy opt for discreet, non-ostentatious expressions of affluence and status.
