In the 30-second spot (featured above), the agency positions the brand as a “gift for those who fly beyond.” The spot opens on a city party where someone fills several glasses with ice and opens up a bottle of Grey Goose…

    The idea for the 12-episode series surfaced last year after Bacardi's marketing team visited Tastemade's Los Angeles studio, which includes several sets including a bar, and felt like the two companies could work together on "something more than a flash in a pan," said Grey Goose brand manager Christopher Lyn-Sue.

    Kings of Culture Branded Content: http://bit.ly/KingsOfCultureLI

    To celebrate the launch of the new flavor GREY GOOSE Le Melon, GREY GOOSE has partnered with the artist Kehinde Wiley to crown today's modern kings of culture. The inspiration for the collaboration comes from the rich and intriguing history of the Cavaillon melon, selected by GREY GOOSE creator and Maitre de Chai (Cellar Master) Francois Thibault to craft the exceptional new expression - GREY GOOSE Le Melon. The prized essence of the ripe, juicy Cavaillon melons, from Provence, France, was said to be relished by French kings, nobility and artists.

    Legend has it that kings traded gold for exclusive access to this treasured fruit. Other historical figures, including Paul Cezanne and Alexander Dumas, also cherished the Cavaillon melon. Impressionist painter Cezanne featured the beautiful melon in one of his first still life works, and writer Dumas traded his entire life's writing in exchange for an annuity of twelve Cavaillon melons a year.

    The partnership with Kehinde Wiley celebrates today's modern kings of culture in the arenas of film, music and sport. The selected notables, like Francois Thibault, whose passion for crafting extraordinary spirits as a cellar master in Cognac, gave rise to the world's first super premium vodka – truly represent those who FLY BEYOND®. Following his win for best documentary at SXSW, Wiley will create a series of custom portraits honoring the selected individuals who have charted extraordinary paths to achievement, using his signature style of fusing history and style in a unique and contemporary manner. The portraits will be auctioned off at a marquee art event in Miami in December, with the majority of the proceeds going to the "kings" charity of choice.
