Unlocking Diabolical Growth for Casillero del Diablo

Casillero del Diablo is one of the best known and respected wine brands in the world.

It’s already one of the UK’s top Five wine brands – so we knew we had quite a challenge on our hands when the CYT team asked us to help them unlock a ‘step-change’ in volume before the end of 2023.

We’re no strangers to ‘big, hairy, audacious goals’ …

Tackling BHAGs

We carefully planned and executed a strategic workshop that brought together the key decision makers from both Chilean and UK teams.

  • We analysed brand strengths and weaknesses – and identified key ‘levers’ of growth
  • We got the team face-to-face with consumers – to uncover triggers and barriers to brand choice
  • We used inspiring stimulus to disrupt the team’s thinking – and generate stretching growth ideas
  • We used consumer co-creation – to evolve their thinking and prioritise concepts
  • Then we helped them develop fast-track activation plans …

The objective had been to identify two disruptive initiatives – in fact, we helped them come up with SIX!

Unleashing Disruptive Growth

Growth Lever #1:

Penetrate New Geographies

Challenge:  Casillero’s Cabernet and other reds dominate the Chilean fixture, but space & liquid supply are finite.Solution:  Consumers perceive CdD as a ‘latin’ brand – so why not stretch the brand’s power into Spanish reds too?

Growth Lever #2:

Unlock Full Potential of Whites

Challenge:  Casillero’s whites get great reviews, but undertrade dramatically relative to New Zealand’sSolution:  Refresh the range, then create a dedicated campaign to challenge the supremacy of NZ in crisp, refreshing whites.

Growth Lever #3:

Bring The Devil’s Cellar Story To Life

Challenge:  Consumers love the product, but don’t associate the ‘devil’s cellar’ with a ‘superb-quality’ story.Solution:  Recruit the Chilean, Game of Thrones’ actor Pedro Pascal to star in compelling brand advertising.
