Our approach wasn’t to gain some PR coverage but to dominate share of the voice across all spirit editorial features and get the media seeking us out first and foremost for category insight and comment.
Segmenting our approach to communicate a clear, consistent message, our proactive sell-in to the on-trade was around the brand’s perfect serve, an ice cold shot, chilled to -18C straight out the freezer. Whereas in the off-trade it was to demonstrate the sales opportunity for retailers by targeting specific user at-home occasions.
Underpinning the sell and stock rationale, The Hub compiled compelling category insight in understanding consumer consumption habits and identifying where the shot opportunities were.
