Brazilian model and actress Alessandra Ambrosio is the new face of vodka brand Cîroc, for its campaign, dubbed On Arrival. The campaign will follow Ambrosio during an entire year of her life through the biggest fashion events and on-trend party destinations. With her modelling credentials including Victoria’s Secret, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Rolex and Calvin Klein, Cîroc felt she was an ideal match for its ‘playful luxe’ positioning.
Owner Diageo wants Cîroc to be seen as a brand that’s exclusive, present at celebrity parties and fashion shows that only VIPs can attend, including summer events and New Year celebrations—and that customers can live this lifestyle through it.
The campaign will include social media, and a photo shoot by Mario Testino. In a release, Testino said, ‘Shooting this campaign with Alessandra has been amazing. She has this quality that captivates everyone when she walks into a room. Alessandra is that person who captures the style and sparkle that Cîroc represents.’
Three images will be released across the year, supported with exclusive behind-the-scenes content. The first was already released, showing Ambrosio preparing backstage at an iconic party.
Samantha Reader, global marketing director for Diageo Reserve, said, ‘Cîroc On Arrival is all about celebrating moments of success and being at the forefront of what’s hot … Ciroc is for those who dream big, aspire to greatness and recognize the importance of celebrating success when it arrives. Alessandra embodies this in everything she does, and we’re looking forward to celebrating with her this year.’—Nathalia Archila
