To celebrate the summer solstice, Cossette launched “In summer mode,”a dazzling campaign created in partnership with the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ). Inspired by the glamour of the fashion industry, this initiative highlights the SAQ’s summer collection, transforming every moment into a tasty experience that combines flair and flavour.

We put the spotlight on the beverages, as if they were celebrities on magazine covers. This bold approach was a breath of fresh air for the brand image, turning the SAQ into an essential destination for consumers this summer.

To bring this concept to life, Cossette collaborated with the photographer duo Les Garçons from production studio L’ÉLOI. Together, the team came up with a series of alluring visuals that illustrate how perfectly the SAQ’s products fit into different summer happenings, with a glass of rosé at a BBQ with friends, a sophisticated cocktail at happy hour, a handy premixed beverage on a camping trip, and many other drinks paired with as many fun occasions. Each visual captures the excitement of summer, turning every moment into a fashionable and unforgettable experience. 

We are very proud of this summer campaign which not only attracts attention but also creates an emotional connection with our customers. Our visuals stand out thanks to their modern aesthetic and their ability to reach a wide audience —and they can be suitably and elegantly adapted to any summer activity. Several major brands have joined the adventure, strengthening their connection with consumers and the SAQ.

With support from Cossette Media, it’s being rolled out in signage, online, on social media, and in the print and web versions of the magazines VÉROClin d’œilCoup de pouce and Elle Québec
