RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The Charles IV's anniversary was a very popular and well-known historical moment in the Czech Republic in 2017. A lot of local institutions, companies and products linked it with their marketing communication . The key challenge was to overcome this clutter and bring an unique, exceptional and really different design solution to stand out of the mainstream communication crowd. The solution should respect the mandatories of a relevant royal tribute and a link of the medieval era of Charles IV with a contemporary premium brand of Bohemia Sekt.
