Luxury champagne brand sets out new brand course and aggressive sales growth plans internationally
Luxury champagne brand, Armand de Brignac, has poached Moet Hennessy director and Australian native, Bernadette Knight, as its new global chief marketing officer as it sets out a new brand course and international growth plans.
Knight has spent more than a decade in the luxury wine and spirits industry, and was most recently the US director for Hennessy Cognac. She has also worked with champagne brands such as Veuve Clicquot, Krug, Ruinart and Taittinger.
A native of NSW, Knight joined Moet from McWilliams Wines in 2008. Her appointment at Armand de Brignac follows the recent establishment of a full regional ream across the US and the acquisition of the brand by iconic US rapper, Shawn ‘Jay Z’ Carter in November last year.
Knight is responsible for overseeing all marketing strategy including brands, public relations, events and promotions. Armand de Brignac reported double-digit growth this year.
“Bernadette’s extensive knowledge and background in the champagne industry will ensure the brand’s luxury heritage, craftsmanship and exceptional quality is effectively communicated, as she begins to lead our marketing efforts across the world,” said Armand de Brignac CEO, Sebastien Besson.

In early 2020, I had the pleasure of staying at the newly opened Fullerton Hotel in Sydney. It was on this trip I first became aware of the Fullerton’s commitment to brand storytelling.
If you’ve been around advertising long enough, you’ve probably seen (or written) a slide which says: “They won’t remember what you say, they’ll remember how you made them feel.” But it’s wrong. Our understanding of how emotion is used in advertising has been ill informed and poorly applied.
The launch of a new brand, or indeed a rebrand, is a transformation to be greeted with fanfare. So why is it that once the brand has launched, the brand execution phase can also be the moment at which you kill its creativity?
