(Overview)
Giffard's Non-Alcoholic range didn't need another product campaign — it needed a world. Ford Media Lab built one from scratch. We engineered the "Après Everything" universe: a cast of 12 fully realized AI-generated characters, a fictional ski trip as the launch vehicle, and a visual language rooted in 90s film nostalgia and Martin Parr-influenced documentary realism. Every frame was composited from real product capture and AI-generated environments — no location shoots, no production variables, no compromise on the product itself. We operated as the complete creative engine: character development, world-building, content production, paid media, influencer partnerships, and community management, all running through a single directorial vision. The campaign launched with 10 reels scored to original custom music — now streaming on Spotify — and the world is still expanding month by month as each character returns to their own life after the trip. The result wasn't just content. It was a brand universe that Gen Z and Millennials actually wanted to live in: 42.65% peak engagement rate, 78.2% weekly follower growth, $0.27 CPC on paid media. For premium spirits and lifestyle brands, this is what it looks like when fascination is manufactured at scale.
