COMMENTS FROM STAKEHOLDERS
“Last year, our Visitor Center was housed in a tiny 1,000-square-foot house from the 1800s and we still saw a 16 percent spike in visitors to Wild Turkey Hill. With our gleaming, new architectural masterpiece, we finally have a Visitor Center worthy of Wild Turkey’s legacy, as well as an outstanding calling card for Kentucky’s Bourbon industry. Today’s celebration is the proverbial feather in the cap of Gruppo Campari’s more than $100 million investment in Wild Turkey and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.”
- Jean Jacques Dubau, President and CEO of Campari America
“After several years of production-specific upgrades and financial stimulus that have provided an economic boost to this county and beyond, the introduction of this Visitor Center is the crowning achievement for Wild Turkey and Gruppo Campari. As we continue to elevate awareness for our bourbon culture, we look forward to welcoming our fellow Kentuckians, Americans and visitors from abroad to the Wild Turkey distillery and the entire Kentucky Bourbon Trail®.”
- Steve Beshear, Kentucky Governor
"Nous enabled us to realize our vision for a new Visitor Center at our distillery in Kentucky. They helped us translate our brand mission into an architectural brief for a competition, invited exciting architects to participate and ran the competition successfully. We were very happy with all the architects’ ideas and we are thrilled with the design we chose - we can ‘wow’ any visitor who comes by. We look forward to working with nous on other projects in the future."

"The re-opening of the Delfina Foundation is tremendous news for artists not just here in the UK, but from around the world. The opportunities afforded by the newly expanded building will see the organisation go from strength to strength.”

Melissa has vast knowledge of the architecture and design world and worked closely with us to transform our mission and vision into an architectural brief and design competition. After conversations with our stakeholders and staff, Melissa created a brief and ran the competition that included eight architecture firms.

Nous created a Dove pop-up workshop called Dove Real Beauty by Design in Manhattan's Soho district for two weeks. The space and workshop programme was created by Nous to come up with ideas for new campaigns and products with recent design and architecture graduates. The workshops resulted in numerous ideas, one in particular: 'Flaw-Less', a Dove Social Mission product that was put forward for a Cannes Lion Award. Nous also produced and ran the Dove Patches internal launch in 2014 that included a space to launch the campaign, materials and take-aways for the event, and a film. Locations: London and NY |
