Today, October is known worldwide as “the pink month” that invites everyone to contribute in changing a less “pink” reality; that of breast cancer. Under the slogan “Drink Pink”, Château Musarfound its way to take part in this international movement, by launching a new campaign for its Musar Jeune Rosé. Thus, for each bottle sold of this fresh and tasty rosé, Château Musar will be donating 1.500LBP to the Lebanese Breast Cancer Foundation, the Lebanese organization dedicated to fight against breast cancer.
The Drink Pink Campaign created by Horizon FCB Beirut
Represented by a poster with a Musar Jeune Rosé bottle shaped dangler wrapped with a pink ribbon, on a background featuring an astonishing sunset as pink and this fresh wine and a lavender sea, the collaboration between Château Musar and the LBCF was signed between two partners in the touching environment of Chateau Musar cellars in Ghazir, in the presence of Ronald Hochar, Gaston Hochar and Désirée El-Khoury representing Château Musar, Marina Hobballa representing the LBCF, and Aline Baddour and Siham Saad, representing Horizon FCB Beirut, agency in charge of the concept and communication of the campaign. Under the slogan “Drink Pink”, this campaign calls for generosity as much as the joy of living.
