Always Polished. Never Dull.

Sterling Vineyards


Living life with luster.

Sterling Vineyards had sophistication. The opportunity was to give that sophistication a little more unexpected edge.

We built a global brand campaign around Always Polished. Never Dull., a positioning that balanced Sterling’s premium heritage with a more modern, magnetic attitude. Inspired by the glamour of the 1960s and the iconic architecture of Sterling’s Napa Valley winery, the campaign imagined a world where elegance never meant playing it safe.

Polished, with a point of view.

Working with photographer Norman Jean Roy, we created a cinematic high-society party populated by characters, unexpected moments and just enough mischief. The resulting visual world extended across print, digital, social, POS and out-of-home throughout the U.S., Canada and China, including placements in Vanity Fair, Esquire, transit environments and billboards.

We also extended the relaunch beyond traditional media through a partnership with Uber and social films built from behind-the-scenes campaign content.

The idea gave Sterling a platform that could flex globally with enough personality to feel unmistakably its own — sophisticated, magnetic and never too serious.
