The Exports and Tourism Promotion Board (PromPeru) presented the "Pisco, Spirit of Peru" campaign at
— in order to boost awareness and consumption of this flagship drink on international spirit markets.
Not only is
pisco the Inca country's national drink, it is also one of the main reference points for its gastronomy. Its versatility provides tradition and modernity, traits that combine perfectly to give life to its new graphic identity.
It is inspired in five attributes: biodiversity, quality, history, culture, and versatility. The slogan "Pisco, Spirit of Peru" will transmit the South American country's emotions towards its drink.
The initiative connects
pisco with its place of origin —Peru— and generates recognition of its traits as a distilled liquor from the perspective of target markets, composed of Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Entrepreneurs —linked to the restaurant business—, chefs, gastronomic influencers, and journalists from all over the world participated in this activity.
Promperu developed the "Pisco, Spirit of Peru" campaign through the Country Image and Communications Directorate. This institution also managed to create the sectoral brands
Superfoods Peru,
Coffees from Peru,
Peru's Alpaca, and Peru Textiles.
