Insight:
Millennials are increasingly favouring experiences over material objects (78%), meaning that doing is more important than having. These experiences become all the more desirable if they also look good on Instagram as to no one’s surprise, millennials still love their phones.
Solution: Give them what they want, and allow Grey Poupon to be at the front of it all, reintroducing themselves and proving that they are as luxurious as ever.
Method: UBER: Partnering with UBER, (a big hit with millennials), to provide a luxurious chaperoned experience in unique Rolls Royce’s. These trips are not for just anybody mind you oh no, only a lucky few will be able to indulge in such pleasure as users of the UBER app will be greeted with the chance to upgrade their journey once a day, providing they are in the correct area at the time.
Method: ROLLS ROYCE: Observant audiences may recognise these carts from the original adverts that skyrocketed Grey Poupon into popularity. Subtle references will be fun for those already familiar with the brand showing that they have not been excluded and are still invited to experience such divine luxury. In True Grey Poupon fashion, these cars will also be custom to the brand, thus proving that they ARE in fact, all that fancy. Never fear however, as this is done with class and elegance, with no dispute of any tackiness.
Advertisement: Various secretive and discretely presented social media advertisement will inform audiences of the beginning of the exclusive event. Directing them the various social medias however, will be done through a Times Square takeover event in New York. For mere seconds, times square will be inundated with advertisement solely focussed on directing people to Grey Poupons social media.
Advertisement: As audiences are directed to Grey Poupons various social medias they will be met with various rather enigmatic short videos. These clips include the slow ticking of a clock with a rather mysterious date found within. The date you ask, as audiences eagerly wait for the date to arrive, desperate to have their questions answered, experiencing the Times square takeover a total of 3 times before the big day, they become ever more curious. Suddenly… a new story appears on social media… The past is also not forgotten either, as some may pick up on small details that show Grey Poupon has not forgotten, but in fact embraced elements of its past and brought them into the modern for newer audiences to enjoy aswell.
This new video is the answer to everybody’s questions while still leaving enough to lure the, into the next stage. Audiences are able to see that Grey poupon with UBER and Rolls Royce are offering chaperoned luxurious trips in specific areas. Also explained is that this event is not subjective to a single location, users are told to keep observing Grey Poupon social medias to see where the event will be held next. The maps that is shown will be subjective to each location, allowing audiences to gather a more specific understanding of the location.
Through enigma and interaction, audiences desire to obtain what they cant have, whether it be information or opportunity. With such a launch event also, they know that Grey Poupon means business and has risen out of the shadows bigger than ever before to continue to provide premium affordable, luxury.
Commiserations: If users are not so lucky to experience such divinity however, they needn’t threat as their efforts are not wasted; a commiseration reward of a free personalised jar of Grey Poupon is offered to them and they are always free to try their luck later again.

Typeface The primary typeface is “Mrs Eaves XL Serif OT”. This was chosen as it is a refreshed version of the font Baskerville, that holds stroking resemblance to the Grey Poupon logo. Not only that, but its historic origin of France in the 17th century provides a direct connection to the product. This refreshed version pulls Grey Poupon into the modern world looking clean, new and stylish with a great amount of character. Also belonging to a family, each variant provides a different use.

This typeface should be used for headers and titles.
Secondary is “Avenir LT Std”. This serves as the already existing typeface used by the brand. Keeping this doesn’t necessary provide a familiar link, more the simplicity and clean modern character of Avenir LT Std feels wrong to change and with its already connection to the brand there isnt a right reason for it to change.

Colour The colours shown derive directly from the existing branding for familiarity. There is the introduction of a more pastel variant of the yellow and blue. This is used for background imagery so that text can still be in the classic colours, whilst also aid in the reintroduction and refreshment of the brand, showing audiences that there is something new. Secondary colours to be used for supporting imagery and text.

Tone of Voice The Grey Poupon brand can be broken down into two parts, being posh and fun. You can be well spoken, whilst having fun with what you do. As times have gone on, old phrases begin to make less and less sense and begin to sound funny, for example, “It appears one’s yarn has turned back into cotton...” Use the following for a healthy idea of how to use tone of voice:
Upper class
“Do allow me to assist wont you?”
Slightly silly
“Righty ho then!”
Energetic
“Oh that’s outstanding!”
Funny
“Oh I say....Do Pardon me”
“Would you have any Grey Poupon?”
“Fabulous”
