Celebrating 100 Years of Contour

December 18, 2015 / No Comments

In celebration of 100 years of the Coca-Cola contour bottle, 3 Degrees were engaged to produce a montage of events to help celebrate this key milestone. Melbourne’s renowned AFL Grand Final weekend acted as a pillar for the celebrations, complimented by a series of custom designed experiences for more than 400 guests from across Australia.

The 3 Degrees design team were also entrusted to create an event brand identity which combined iconic Coca-Cola imagery with AFL and the MCG. This was used across various branded applications including custom bottle wraps, invitations and large scale digital animations.

Piccola Launch Aperitivo #PeroniStyle

December 18, 2015 / No Comments

As part of a series of initiatives to help welcome the new Peroni Piccola to Australia, we hosted an aperitivo for media and key customers at a stunning Sydney Harbour-side private residence. Guests were transferred to the home by a fleet of timber speedboats and basked in the afternoon sun by the crystal blue water.

The event toasted to the natural beauty of spending life by the sea with Italian style, indulging in freshly shucked oysters, hand selected charcuterie and ice chilled Peroni Piccola’s.

Guests included editors and publishers from almost every major Australian lifestyle publication, leading online platforms and other special friends of the brand.

The afternoon was a true testament to Peroni’s Italian flair and heritage, celebrating a milestone in the brand’s craftsmanship.

BRINGING INTERNATIONAL STYLE TO THE WORLD OF BEER WITH PERONI

June 24, 2014 / Comments Off

3 Degrees was appointed by Italian beer brand, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, to leverage Peroni’s sponsorship of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA) and drive PR outcomes for the brand.  Although multiple Peroni activations took place during the week, the PR strategy centred around the execution of an intimate dinner party.

Hosting an exclusive group of media, celebrities and fashion influencers, the dinner party celebrated Peroni’s association with MBFWA and welcomed Peroni’s global ambassador, Antonio Berardi, to Australia.  Berardi, a Milan-based fashion designer whose brand is a regular feature on red carpets around the world, has enjoyed a long-term ambassadorship with Peroni, sharing the values of Italian style and craftsmanship. Naturally, the event took on the Italian style of both brands with Pendolino restaurant designing a tailored menu and contemporary Italian furnishings provided by Space Furniture. Guests of the event included magazine editors, fashion blogger Nicole Warne, model Shanina Shaik, the Stenmark twins and other friends of Peroni.

Through a number of feature articles secured and published prior to the Milan-based designer’s arrival, anticipation and excitement was built around his visit, with Antonio positioned as Peroni’s exclusive international guest.  Peroni’s key message of ‘bringing style to the world of beer’ formed the crux of the editorial procurement strategy.  3 Degrees successfully pitched feature stories to a targeted group of desired media outlets and achieved coverage in Sunday Style (Sunday Herald Sun & Sunday Telegraph), Vogue Australia, RUSSH, The Australian, D’MARGE, Harper’s BAZAAR, ELLE and more.

September 24, 2013 / Comments Off

The Members Dining Room at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground was the setting for the annual VECCI President’s Dinner at which 250 government, member and VIP guests were hosted. The venue created a perfect backdrop for special guests Sir Vivian Richards, Michael Holding and Joel Garner – cricketing legends collectively known as the Calypso Kings.

The journey commenced with welcome drinks in the Dining Room foyer and was followed by a beautiful three course menu designed for the event by celebrated Melbourne Restaurant Il Bacaro.

Formalities included an address by VECCI President Peter McMullin and a message from VECCI Chief Executive Mark Stone.

Special guests joined facilitator Tim Lane on stage for an intimate interview about their illustrious cricketing careers. The popularity of these guests was apparent during the official signing and photo opportunity session.

To end the evening guests were treated to a personal farewell that included petite flower posies gifted to guests as they exited.

The result was a truly memorable evening.

We were honoured to be asked to work with The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria’s epicure team on The Royal Melbourne Wine Awards. It is Australia’s largest and most prestigious wine awards; recognised by wine producers as an important competition in benchmarking their produce.

A record number of guests attended this year’s annual Royal Melbourne Wine Awards Presentation Dinner as part of Melbourne Wine Week.

AUSTRALIAN OPEN SPONSORSHIP ACTIVATION

June 24, 2013 / Comments Off

More than 600,000 people walked through the gates of Melbourne Park for this year’s Australian Open and while the international stars of tennis battled it out on court, festivities continued around the clock, no more so than on Grand Slam Oval. This buzzing atmosphere was the setting for 3 Degrees’ latest sponsorship activation – the Coca-Cola Frozen Coke Zone.

Working with Coca-Cola Amatil’s marketing team, 3 Degrees have been busy designing and activating a temporary POS build for the major FMCG brand as part of their sponsorship of the 2013 event. The activation was designed to operate on multiple levels (part retail, part brand activity), hence form and function played equal roles.

The brief was dictated by strict procedures in addition to Coca-Cola Amatil’s brand guidelines and finally the necessity to re-use the structure at multiple sites. The result was a compact, multi-dimensional, branded igloo that can be flat-packed for storage until the need to reassemble.
