02/10/2008 | Beefeater


Beefeater 24, is a super premium gin, recently launched by Pernod Ricard to capture the rising interest in both gin and super premium brands. Contagious was tasked to work on interest and desire focussed marketing campaigns for the brand. This exquisite gin is infused with Japanese Sencha Tea, Chinese Green Tea and grapefruit, as well as nine other botanicals that are also
used in Beefeater Gin. Inspired by the unusual tea botanicals, Contagious produced a tasting kit
and leave behind tea tin, containing rare loose Japanese Sencha Tea, a '24' spoon infuser for
making tea inspired cocktails, and a cocktail book featuring innovative new cocktails created by
London's top mixologists and cocktail gurus. The training kit was voted Best Piece of Creative Work
produced in Scotland, by a panel of clients at the Design Consultancy of the Year Awards 2009.

Contagious created a new brand identity for interior furnishers Peter Knight, a Royal Warrant holder. A supplier of classic crafted furniture with contemporary influence, sourcing stock worldwide for affluent furniture and interiors markets. Contagious was asked to modernise the ageing brand while keeping the expression of the tradition and history of the company. The crafted mark and visual identity have been applied across advertising, website, a suite of stationery, luxury carrier bags and integrated throughout the new retail environment designed by our retail partners, Four-by-Two
in London.

Contagious converted an old droving inn into a traditional bistro pub and upgraded the restaurant into a fine dining environment offering good quality locally sourced produce. Contagious worked very closely with the client to help them realise their vision of serving guests well made locally sourced food in a great environment.

Westfield London is the UK’s most recent and most stylish shopping centre. Contagious have designed and created retail environments for four establishments - Jo Delucci’s, Envy, London Luggage and Vincent Shoes. Working within a creative brief from each client Contagious simultaneously met the requirements of the Westfield design committee. Contagious developed
the retail concept for Vincent Shoes into a world class high street offer.

Diageo, along with former chef Richard Whittington have pioneered the mixing of whisky with a worldwide range of food. The Classic Malts Selection is the world’s largest portfolio of 23 fine malts each boasting its unique flavour.
