Davidoff Nicaragua: Explore, adventure and discovery

DewGibbons + Partners

Executive summary

Losing market share and faced with innovative competitors, Davidoff Cigars was seen as exclusive but relatively expensive, old-fashioned, and short in relevance to today's cigar aficionados. Enter Davidoff Nicaragua, a new range of cigars from Nicaragua with a completely different taste profile.

DewGibbons + Partners teamed up with ad agency Johnny Fearless. Working closely together, and alongside Davidoff s in-house team, the job was to build customer desire and reappraisal of Davidoff through a brand identity packaging design and an integrated communications campaign for this new brand.
