New York Times Highlights Chateau Ste. Michelle's Latest Ad Campaign

Using a Facebook application that works that works like a digital version of refrigerator poetry, Chateau Ste. Michelle is trying to appeal to busy women.

The latest advertising campaign by , the flagship brand of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates in Woodinville, is geared toward the harried woman.

According to a recent story in The New York Times, central to the campaign is a Facebook application that works like a digital version of refrigerator poetry.

Users customize an equation that begins “Me + A glass of wine” and ends “ = My Chateau.” Within, users string together words and symbols to complete the equation. So one might formulate: “Me + A glass of wine + Camping — (symbol for thunderstorm) + my kids — (symbol for computer monitor) = My Chateau.”

A print ad promoting the app explains: “It’s where you become you again — not mom, not colleague, not chauffeur, cook or cleaner-upper.”

The campaign is by Cole & Weber United, Seattle, part of the United division of WPP. 

What's YOUR Chateau?, asks the campaign on the winery's Facebook page

Play here: Me + A glass of wine and ... = My Chateau.

RASP is a wonderful group of writers from all walks of Redmond life. They hold an open mic on theRead More last Friday of every month at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center. Not only do they have featured readers like Kathleen, but the open mic portion encourages anyone from the community to read their work. It's regularly quite good. All those with a hunger to get their work out in the world should attend.
