New York Times Highlights Chateau Ste. Michelle's Latest Ad Campaign

Using a Facebook application that works that works like a digital version of refrigerator poetry, Chateau Ste. Michelle is trying to appeal to busy women.

The latest advertising campaign by , the flagship brand of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates in Woodinville, is geared toward the harried woman.

According to a recent story in The New York Times, central to the campaign is a Facebook application that works like a digital version of refrigerator poetry.

Users customize an equation that begins “Me + A glass of wine” and ends “ = My Chateau.” Within, users string together words and symbols to complete the equation. So one might formulate: “Me + A glass of wine + Camping — (symbol for thunderstorm) + my kids — (symbol for computer monitor) = My Chateau.”
