Peroni gathers momentum heading into summer. Bolstered by its first national advertising push, a series of marketing partnerships and distribution gains, Peroni Nastro Azzurro is off to a fast start in 2019.

The Italian import is up 36.4% year-to-date through April 20, outpacing the import category more than sevenfold. And sales are accelerating: Over the most-recent four-week period, the brand is up a whopping 58.8%.

“All of this momentum comes on the launch of our new campaign, Birra Beautifully,” says Katie Feldman, marketing manager for Peroni and other MillerCoors import brands. “Our ads — especially the TV spots — are working to increase awareness and persuasion and differentiate Peroni from other import beers. Peroni is showing drinkers that it can elevate a drinking occasion that otherwise may have featured wine or spirits .”

And it made another high-profile move this week with the unveiling of an 18-story billboard in Times Square that will remain up for a month; a stunt the brand never would have attempted in the past. “This is all about taking advantage of every opportunity for Peroni to show drinkers that this is a special, unique brand that’s bringing style to the world of beer,” Feldman says.

That approach is consistently applied throughout its 2019 campaign, including television spots that feature a strong female lead and a high-end fashion and design aesthetic. They began airing on national television (a first for the brand), digital channels and social media in April and will continue throughout the summer.
