Francis Ford Coppola Winery, renowned for its exceptional wine production and the Francis Coppola Diamond Collection, has announced the debut of its first-ever national advertising campaign. The multi-year, multi-million-dollar initiative, titled "It Takes Time to Make a Diamond," represents a significant milestone in the winery's history and aims to connect with consumers on an emotional level by showcasing inspiring stories of individuals who have overcome adversity. The campaign's inaugural ads, featuring captivating archival footage from Coppola's illustrious filmmaking and winemaking career, will premiere on June 22, captivating audiences on streaming TV, digital platforms, and social media channels.

Bringing together the realms of creativity and perseverance, the campaign pays homage to the winery's founder, the legendary film director Francis Ford Coppola. Gabriela Becker, the vice president of marketing for the winery, expressed her honor in sharing a glimpse of Coppola's inspirational journey through this advertising endeavor. The campaign is rooted in extensive consumer research conducted in 2022, which revealed a common thread among Francis Coppola Diamond Collection drinkers—regardless of age, gender, or location: a shared sense of accomplishment stemming from overcoming earlier adversities in life.

The campaign's tagline, "It takes time to make a diamond," succinctly captures the complex narrative embedded within each bottle of wine, the winery's visionary founder, and the lives of those who indulge in the exquisite Diamond Collection Wines. By embracing the power of storytelling, these ads invite consumers to connect with the brand on a deeper level, underscoring the transformative influence of perseverance and determination.

High Wide & Handsome, a Los Angeles-based agency, played an integral role in developing this compelling campaign. Leveraging a range of touchpoints, including streaming TV, digital advertising, and social media, the campaign endeavors to fortify the already thriving Coppola Diamond Collection brand. Becker anticipates that this strategic approach, coupled with the campaign's evocative impact, will not only resonate with existing consumers but also captivate new enthusiasts, further expanding the Coppola family.

The initial campaign flight comprises nine ads, two of which are lead, 30-second commercials. These captivating advertisements intertwine documentary-style archival footage from Coppola's illustrious career with heartfelt voiceovers from Francis Coppola himself and his wife, Eleanor Coppola. By drawing viewers into the captivating world of Coppola's artistic and winemaking journey, the ads foster a sense of admiration and kinship, reinforcing the brand's enduring legacy.

For those eager to catch a glimpse of these remarkable commercials, the two lead ads are available for viewing and download here and here. For more information about Francis Ford Coppola Winery, visit their official website at www.francisfordcoppolawinery.com.
