J. Wray & Nephew Limited is pleased with Courvoisier’s growing influence in the dancehall industry, following the brand’s successful sponsorship of Aidonia’s 20th anniversary celebration.

The brand joined the Campari Group last year and has since supported several events that underscore its commitment to the music industry. “With this acquisition, we have a responsibility to ensure that the cultural marketing moments that it has been known for now extend in a meaningful way within the dancehall space,” shared Dominic Bell, Communications Manager at J. Wray & Nephew Limited.

Speaking on Courvoisier’s sponsorship of one of dancehall’s pillars, Aidonia, Bell added, “Courvoisier has a history of amplifying storytelling surrounding craftsmanship and artistry, so it was important for us to celebrate Aidonia’s 20 years of sustained commercial relevance and critical influence in music. This is truly an awesome accomplishment.”

“Impactful moments in dancehall culture have helped the brand connect with consumers who are part of or influenced by the culture through media,” he added. “Earlier this year, Courvoisier supported Frinally’s event marking Wayne Marshall’s return to the stage. We’re crafting our role respectfully—amplifying iconic milestones for key figures in dancehall.”

Bell sees this partnership as a way to deepen Courvoisier’s connection with the dancehall community. “The dancehall community and the wider culture are rich and diverse, with occasions that deserve a cognac of curated craftsmanship and premium finishing—such as Courvoisier,” he said.

A balanced investment helps preserve the genre’s roots while nurturing its evolution. “Music isn’t a zero-sum game—especially within Jamaican culture, where legacy and innovation often coexist. take Courvoisier, for example: a brand established in the 19th century, yet one that continues to collaborate with diverse expressions of excellence to help shape enduring cultural legacies. Whether well-established or rising, artists who meet legal drinking age requirements and uphold the necessary conduct guidelines should all be seen as potential viable partners. Legacy doesn’t limit relevance, and emerging doesn’t negate impact.”

As a brand that actively invests in music and broader cultural spaces, Bell emphasized the value of creating thoughtfully curated and impactful experiences. “Courvoisier has had a mutually beneficial relationship with the arts in all of its forms since its inception, and I’m sure this has been the case for many brands communicating in spaces both in and outside of the local markets,” he said.

“Consumers deserve and thrive on memorable experiences, so there will always be a place for brands to invest and collaborate with curators—such as Romeich in this instance—to help bring these moments to life.”

Discussing the brand’s vision and future direction, Bell concluded, “Courvoisier’s ongoing vision is to continue creating, supporting, and collaborating in exceptional moments that mirror the award-winning quality of our cognac and brand.”
