The Party Starter™ Stories (The Party Starter™ Campaign 2.0)
Chandon India launches its new digital campaign featuring game changers in 2018
In 2016, Chandon introduced India to its Party Starter campaign, with innovative brand campaigns, limited-edition bottles, and even a party anthem in 2017 – featuring Bollywood icon Sonam Kapoor and musician Anushka Manchanda.
This year, the Party gets bigger and better as Chandon takes a digital leap with the launch of the next edition of The Party Starter™ 2.0 with campaign The Party Starter Stories. The year-long campaign will present interesting stories of ten game changers. Starting off with the first “story” with the iconic and legendary actor Irrfan Khan and followed by many others, this series will salute people across various genres who have made a difference and made a difference in their field – just as Chandon India. The series will delve deep into each achiever’s personal and professional journey, and educate the viewer on how Chandon is the perfect partner for every “party” moment.
The second story features two of India's best sportswomen, Mithali Raj, captain of the women's cricket team, and badminton player Jwala Gutta.
Speaking about the association, Jwala Gutta says, “I have always been part of serious and opinionated interviews, when Chandon approached me for this fun interview I couldn’t say No! Being paired with Mithali, got me a lot more excited as I would get to show off my skills over new fun games –with a hint of competitiveness while we chat on various topics from our challenges to moments of triumphs with the ultimate Partystarter.”
“I am super thrilled to be a part of Chandon’s The Party Starter™ Campaign 2.0 with Jwala Gutta. When the Chandon team invited me to be part of their digital series, and shared the concept of bringing two women athletes over a casual conversation I immediately agreed; as we rarely have the pleasure to enjoy such moments together,” adds Mithali Raj.
Speaking about the project, Stéphane de Meurville, Managing Director – Moët Hennessy India says, “With our ever-evolving pool of consumers especially the Xennials and Millenials, who are always online, we, at Chandon, have taken every chance to create vibrant and engaging marketing initiatives over the last three years. Our digital campaign The Party Starter™ is a true definition of Chandon's motto – turning every occasion with friends or family however mundane into a party, and will bring renowned personalities from different walks of life together.”

About Chandon:
In the late 1950s, Moët &Chandon, the world’s leading Champagne House since 1743, began exploring the potential for producing world class sparkling wines outside of the Champagne region, under the ‘Chandon’ name. The first Chandon Estate was created in 1959 in Argentina followed by California (1973), Brazil (1973) Australia (1986) and China (2013).
Following in the pioneering steps of the founders and continuing its search for new winemaking territories, Moët Hennessy determined that the Nashik region had the potential to produce world-class, premium quality sparkling wine.
Chandon is the first offering from Moët Hennessy to be made in India. Combining the centuries-old sparkling wine-making practices of “method traditionnelle” with the finest local grapes, Chandon is available in two variants: Chandon Brut and Chandon Brut Rosé.
In 2015 the Chandon India winery was awarded an ISO 22000:2005 Certificate of Compliance for their Food Safety Management System – receiving of grapes from vineyards, storage, manufacturing and bottling of sparkling wine-Category E.
