Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse Launch Case Study
Overview
- Mouawad designed The Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse - certificated by the Guinness World Records as the most valuable in the world
- ASDA’A Burson-Marsteller, which manages PR across the GCC for Mouawad, was asked to take care of media relations for the unveiling of the purse both in Doha and Dubai – creating maximum noise and word of mouth
Approach
- In Doha the purse was unveiled during the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition. Local media were invited to the Mouawad booth where Fred and Pascal Mouawad officially unveiled and presented the purse
- In Dubai the purse was unveiled at the Mouawad store at the Dubai Mall and then displayed for 3 days in the Grand Atrium. Media were invited to the in-store exclusive unveiling hosted btyFred and Pascal Mouawad
- Having the event held in the store gave journalists the opportunity to meet the family, to visit the store and to see Mouawad’s jewellery collections
- The communication strategy was to create great expectations around the purse before the official unveiling; as a hook no images of the purse were dispatched but only its description and characteristics to give the idea of its value and let people dream about it
