Stella Artois - Stolen Glasses
"Stolen Glasses" was a campaign launched by Stella Artois to highlight their iconic glass chalice. The campaign played off the idea that these glasses were so desirable that people would want to steal them, emphasizing the luxury and elegance associated with drinking Stella Artois.
The campaign subtly showcased Stella Artois' position as a luxury beer, where even the glass used to serve it becomes an object of desire. This clever angle reinforced brand positioning without directly pushing the product itself, focusing instead on the experience of drinking Stella Artois.
