Maraschino Cherries
Naples, Italy
THE BRAND & THE BRIEF
A little cherry. A lot of ways to sell it.
Hotel Starlino’s Italian maraschino cherries bring a distinctive finishing touch to cocktails, desserts and gifting. The range stretches from a 42g mini jar to a 3.1kg professional tin, giving buyers different ways to introduce the product.
Our creative work brought those uses into the Faire experience: seasonal shop banners, graphics that explain the range, and lifestyle imagery that puts the cherries in context.
THE FAIRE STOREFRONT
Give every season a fresh reason to stock up.
We created Faire shop banners for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, summer, America 250 and Bourbon Month. Each gives the same product a different buying occasion, while keeping Hotel Starlino’s packaging and identity in view.
Bourbon Month
Cocktail culture, with the cherries as the finishing touch.
Mother’s Day
Cocktails and desserts brought together for a gifting occasion.
Father’s Day
A familiar pour, presented as a seasonal buying story.
Summer
Bright product scenes and cocktail inspiration for summer shelves.
America 250
A timely storefront theme around a national celebration.
PRODUCT EDUCATION
Help retailers see the range. And the opportunity.
The listing graphics give buyers practical ways to understand the product: which pack size suits their business, where the cherries fit in a cocktail or dessert, and how the brand presents its points of difference.
A size for every setting
From trial and counter display to retail, bars and catering, one graphic maps the range to different uses.
More ways to merchandise it
Pairing ideas connect the cherries to complementary products and occasions.
Show the finishing touch
A close-up serve puts flavour and presentation at the centre of the product story.
Make the positioning clear
A comparison layout brings the brand’s stated product benefits into a single visual.

LIFESTYLE CREATIVE
Put the product in the moments people buy for.
