About the Client

carlo rossi

Carlo Rossi is a California-based brand known for producing everyday wines that emphasize quality, value, and casual enjoyment. Its portfolio includes approachable styles such as smooth red blends, crisp whites, Pink Moscato, Red Moscato, and Sangria. The brand is positioned as an easy, enjoyable choice for social occasions and everyday moments.

While Carlo Rossi is a staple in stores, it has not yet formed a cultural connection to Filipino cuisine. To do this, Carlo Rossi refreshed their branding with the ‘Global Meets Lokal’ concept. It celebrated everyday Filipino moments and pairing Carlo Rossi wines with familiar dishes in authentic local settings, bringing to life the idea that Carlo Rossi is truly ‘That’s Bagay!’ for Filipino occasions.

Key Challenges

Filipinos are no strangers to wine, yet the category often feels detached from local traditions. For Carlo Rossi, the challenge was clear: bridge this cultural gap to strengthen its local presence and resonate authentically with consumers.

Inconsistent Brand Representation

Carlo Rossi had inconsistent brand representation across its social media platforms. While its Facebook presence was active, its Instagram account remained largely underutilized, resulting in fragmented messaging and limiting the brand’s ability to present a cohesive identity. Content was mostly static and repetitive, lacking the visual storytelling needed to capture audience attention and build stronger recall.

Low Audience Engagement

The brand also struggled with low engagement levels due to a weak tie to Filipino culture. Most posts generated fewer than 20 interactions, indicating a weak connection with the audience. Despite an existing audience base, the content failed to spark conversations or encourage sharing. This limited organic reach and slowed down growth, especially across platforms where engagement is key to visibility.

Objectives

Truelogic aligned its strategy to address visibility, engagement, and conversion gaps, anchored on the “Global Meets Lokal” campaign theme.

  • Expand brand visibility with a goal of 1.2M reach in three months through a strategic and comprehensive social media campaign.
  • Boost online engagement and build a strong community through culturally relevant and interactive content.
  • Increase click-through rates to the online store, particularly LAZMART, to support purchase intent.

How Truelogic Helped

Truelogic delivered a social media campaign built around a clear strategic foundation and consistent execution.

Strategic Alignment and Campaign Direction

Our process began with a deep-dive consultation to align with the ‘Global Meets Lokal’ philosophy. This served as the campaign’s cornerstone, leading us to develop the ‘That’s Bagay’ creative direction. It positioned Carlo Rossi as the perfect accompaniment to Filipino cuisine, culture, and everyday celebrations.

Content Strategy and Creative Production

We planned and produced a structured content calendar that balanced brand storytelling and performance. The strategy was anchored on “That’s Bagay!” Creative assets highlighted Filipino settings, local dishes, and relatable social occasions such as family gatherings, barkada moments, and holiday celebrations. Each post was designed to create emotional connection and cultural relevance while maintaining a consistent visual identity.

Social Media Campaign Management and Optimization

We managed localized social media campaigns focused on reach, engagement, and community building. This included audience targeting, retargeting, and continuous optimization. High-performing creatives, especially those that emphasized product availability, were scaled to drive stronger click-through and purchase intent.

Community Management and Engagement

We actively monitored and engaged with the community to sustain interaction and build brand affinity. Responses to comments and messages helped move users closer to purchase while strengthening brand trust.

Always On and Seasonal Activations

The campaign was launched during the holiday season, allowing the brand to tap into heightened consumer activity and social gatherings. The timing strengthened relevance, as audiences were more receptive to lifestyle-driven content centered on celebrations, food, and shared moments.

We maintained consistent visibility through controlled ad frequency to support brand recall without causing fatigue. Campaign data showed that lifestyle-driven content and Filipino food pairings consistently delivered higher engagement and clicks. We used these insights to refine ad direction and prioritize top-performing formats across the campaign.
